What number are you asking about? Business Code? Form? Income amount?

Business code

Yes, when you set up your business, there is a lookup button next to Business Code on the page "Let's look up your business code."

Searching on "journalist" brings up code 711510 for Independent artists, writers, and performers. This code would apply to acting as well.
