You would look for a code that most closely fits your self-employment income (1099-MISC income) and enter that.  If you can't find a code that fits, you can enter 999999.

Please click here and go to page 17 and 18.  Find the category closest to your income and then look at the sub-categories.

Thank you for the reply.  The Merchant Category Code is associated with processing credit card payments.  I know the category I need to be in, I just don't know how to set enter mine.  The help line does not no anything about a Category Code associated with my Merchant Services Account, or how to update it.  We are a bed and breakfast and trying to process a payment from Booking.com, and it keeps getting denied/unable to process due to an invalid Category Code.

 

Ant suggestions would be appreciated.
