The Business Code is a 6 digit number for your activity. If you can't find a code that applies, you can enter 999999.


Here are the IRS instructions for Schedule C. Business codes start on page 19.

Oh, and the Business Code is not from your payer and doesn't apply to them.  It is a code for your activity.   Depends on what they are paying you for.   The people or company that pays you is your customer or client. You need to fill out schedule C for self employment business income. You are considered to have your own business for it. YOU are the business.
