    Thanks. But they ask for a code for type of business. There is a long list, but no sure what is appropriate. Guess not much filing being done by the sounds of it.

    If you file your taxes with moderator JJgold he will take care of everything.

    Hes helped me with my taxes the last three years.

    That's some sort of catch-all code, right? I hear that may raise some flags. But thanks, I'll look into that, if it's the only one to use.

    From TurboTax:

    It is a new requirement for electronic filing this year to enter an actual business code that matches your business activity. Entering business code as 9s (nines)
    will prevent your return from electronic filing. Unless you enter the business code that matches your business activity (and it can be as closely as possible if no accurate code is found), you will have to print and mail your tax return.

    Maybe:

    423910 - Sporting & Recreational Goods & Supplies

    423930 - Recyclable Materials! Ha! That sounds about right for gambling.


    This is really for Casinos and the like, but may be the closest we get:
    713200 Gambling industries


    Or:
    711210 Spectator sports (including professional sports clubs & racetrack operations)


    Or:
    523900 Other financial investment activities

    Never knew anyone would want to be blatantly honest about offshore activity?


    Make sure you tell the IRS what you sold on Ebay earlier this year too.

    I know of some drug dealers who are honest about the source of their revenue on their taxes.
