Question

what is INSTACART principal Business code & other business info

I have a full time job, a business making/selling jewelry AND I worked a little for instacart last year so it's a little overwhelming.

 

1. What is the principal business code? I looked at the publication and couldn't figure out what to use.

2. Turbo Tax is treating this like another business and wants the business name and address.  Do I use "Instacart"  and their address or do I use my given name and my home address? (I obviously don't have a separate business name for gig work)

3. will I have multiple schedule c forms? One for each income? (My business and the gig work)

 

Thanks for any help!

1.  The principal business code for Instacart is 492000.

 

2. You should use your given name and home address for your Instacart work.

 

3.  Yes, you will have multiple Schedule C's...one for your jewelry business and one for your Instacart work.

We do not have this information. It should be reflected on your tax form or you will need to contact InstaCart.
