Did your software not have a link next to the entry field for getting a code?  If the provided code isn't working, you should ask this question in the Canada TurboTax forum.  We won't know anything about your product here in the USA TurboTax forum.

You have posted your question in the USA TurboTax community forum.  (yes, the sites are too similar, and we have complained to TurboTax about it.)

Here is the Canada TurboTax AnswerXchange community forum if you need assistance:

Are you asking about the principal business activity code for Schedule C?  Next to or below the entry field, there may be a link for a popup showing the major codes.

If you want a more specific code, then for what category of business?

I have already paid $62+ in hopes of netfiling my return and have tried 7 different codes, all of which have been rejected.....so I feel I am being scammed....

I'm sorry, but you'll ask to have Canadian users in the AnswerXChange forum or Canadian TurboTax Support for assistance.   
That's not an error we see in the USA product, unless the business activity code is left blank.

...in other words, I have paid $62+ Canadian, which amounts to quite a bit more money when compared to U.S. dollars and am not able to Netfile my return.....I had planned on taking a day off work to go to the CRA office here in Calgary just to get this mess sorted out

I don't know why you would have to pay again, but as I said no one here is going to be familiar with the Canada products and procedures.   In the USA you  only have to pay a fee once; there is no fee if a return is rejected.  Here one can make the correction and resubmit the efile.    

I cannot help you any further in this forum.  You need to go to the Canada forum and ask for assistance.  Or phone Canada TurboTax Support when they open and ask for assistance.

thank you, how would I be able to have my money returned if I attempted to file on turbotax in the U.S. ?

You cannot file a Canada tax return with USA TurboTax.

 You need to be addressing all questions to either the Canada TurboTax AnswerXChange forum or by talking to TurboTax Canada Support.   They are the ones to help you with netfiling or furnishing a product refund.
