The principal business code depends on the nature of your business that resulted in the 1099-NEC being issued. You can search for your business code using this website. Enter a keyword, for example, restaurant or photography and it will list the related business codes.

 

If you are not sure how to classify your business, you may use 999999 as the principal business code.
