Schedule C not accepting the principal business code I'm entering

When I click "Transmit Returns Now", it takes me to a screen that says "We Need To Make One More Check".

Then it says: Everything looks great on your return. We've double-checked it for accuracy and to make sure you got all tax breaks you deserve. But before you e-file, we need a little more information that we didn't need earlier.

So then I'm supposed to "Check This Entry". It's Schedule C. A Principal Business Code must be entered. My business is internet marketing. The closest description I can find for this kind of business is "Other direct selling establishments". According to what I looked up, the code is 454390. I found it on this page: https://accountants.intuit.com/articles/principal-business-activity-codes/?srsltid=AfmBOooocziBwdD8pDe-X-7_a14WDSdMTZkGuTl5_WysDMyqoVtPGknU

I keep entering the code in the box, but it keeps taking me back to the "We Need To Make One More Check" page! This is extremely frustrating. Help!!

There are different business codes to use depending on the form that is being filed. The link you shared does not specify which form it is tied to, but the information in the IRS Instructions for Schedule C shows the business codes used for Schedule C businesses. Here is that document -- take a look at pages 19 through 21.
