Teresa, Are you referring to the IRS Business/Professional Activity Code (based on NAICS) for Schedule C? I cannot point to any authority, but I use the following because it's the only one that fits. I am interested in what others have to say. Business activity type: Professional, Scientific, & Tech. - OtherBusiness activity code: 541990 - All other professional, scientific, and technical services Sherry Chapman 1 Stop Genealogy℠ www.1StopGenealogy.com  860-209-7070         In the News:Follow this link to read the Hartford Courant's feature article on 1 Stop Genealogy   From: Teresa Kahle <teresa@theintrepidsleuth.com> To: "Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL" <Elissa@PowellGenealogy.com> Cc: transitional-genealogists-forum@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, March 6, 2017 2:36 PM Subject: Re: [TGF] Tax questions about the other side Hello Elissa and Dee, Thanks for the speedy responses. I included the amount of the client check that reimburses me for expenses as part of INCOME, so I need to deduct it somewhere. Thanks Dee for the pointer. My profits would barely buy us all lunch at Mickey D’s, but I am still thrilled about it. Can anyone take a stab at my other two questions? How do you deduct books? Computer software? (179 deductions? Depreciation?) And what professional code do you use? Teresa S.
