<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">On "Schedule C" of the Federal form, under "B", is the "business code" to
<BR>fill in. Which code would best describe piano tuning business, since there
<BR>is NO code for this specific line of work? The one which seemed to come
<BR>closest is #451140 "Musical instrument and supplies stores". I selected this
<BR>because I'm a floor tuner for a Piano store, in addition to my own private
<BR>business. Thanks for the help.

<BR>Terry,
<BR>
<BR>I don't usually asnwer this kind of question but my advice is: 711510 Independant Artists, writers & performers...
<BR>
<BR>under, Arts, Entertainment & Recreation, subcategory: Performing Arts, Spectator Sports & Related Industries.
<BR>
<BR>This would be the most appropriate for you since you are also a performance artist. It allows you the maximum amount or write offs for business.
<BR>
<BR>What you do is art, whether it is in someone's home or on a stage, it's not "appliance repair" or retailing even if you do sell a small amount of retail products.
<BR>
<BR>If you were strictly a rebuilder, the category would probably be different but even if you get a shop going, how much different is that from having a shop for theater prop building? It's art, it's not machinery, computer or vehicle repair.
