The Industry Code that will work in TurboTax for "Direct Sellers" is 454390.

You can see a complete list of all examples which fall under this category here:

This is still an issue as reported by anther user in 2019 (My wife is an epicure sales consultant, selling spices and kitchen products.  All industry codes I've tried entereing are "invalid" and Turbo Tax will not let me netfile.)

Used 454390 last year as indicated in your reply to the above 2019 query and it worked.  This year (2022) turbotax will no allow me to netfile this year using 454390. 

Please fix your software or provide something that will work.

I am also having same exact issue with this error.  Previously used 453220 in 2021 tax year and it worked,  but is not valid this year.  Retailer says to use 454390 this year (2022).  Turbo Tax will not allow this code and gives error.  Cannot file tax return as is.  Please advise. @TurboTaxKim  @TurboTaxSusan @TurboTaxBrenda1 @TurboTaxGinette
