The IRS does not use "occupation" for anything that will affect your tax return. Occupation is used for statistical purposes, so you can put whatever you want.

Normal occupation is best. If you change careers, change the occupation.

What do I do if I was unemployed and received no salary or wages. I also received no governmental benefits or transfer payments.
