How do we file a PA return without a NCAIS code for her 1099 MISC business?

MY wife got a 1099 MISC for acting as a consultant for the York City School District and since that money is treated a schedule C business, the Pennsylvania return is asking for a NCAIS code for the business - which does not exist.  How do I get past that?  It is not really a business, just her working for the school district part time

The NAICS code is the principal business code for your business.

The principal business code is a six digit number that represents the field of work you are in. This code is entered on your Schedule C. The complete list of codes can be found on  pages 17-18 of the?link below:

This code is used for statistical purposes only and does not affect your taxes. If you do not find an approximate code, you can enter 999999.
