No, contacting support is not necessary.

The business code is not really an important piece of information that necessarily needs to be accurate. It is only used by the IRS for statistical purposes.

That being said, TurboTax will help determine what business code you should use based on the information that you have entered in the Work Description under General Info for your business. As you edit and change the Work Description, the business code will change as well.

Not being able to change this code is affecting other areas and I can't seem to get in touch with anyone. I never thought it would be an issue until this year. The correct isn't generating on the form, that's a problem.

Thank you for your help. I reached out to a representative and we couldn’t resolve the problem. We tried the same steps not too long ago. I entered all of the keywords I can think of.

Thank you
