If you received a 1099 Misc from the church they are considering you an independent contractor which is equal to be self-employed. You can enter code 999999. It is for statistical purposes and does not affect your return.

There is a lookup function in the Business Profile section. For present purposes, the correct code is 711510 - Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers.
