Special Situations
7. This is a private household, how should I respond?
If you conducted only household activities at your home during 2007, please note that in the Remarks section (or somewhere on the form) and return the 2007 Economic Census form to the Census Bureau. Household activities are activities needed to operate your private residence, such as housecleaning, babysitting, gardening, and home maintenance (and including the employment of persons to help you with those activities). However, if you conducted any business activities at your home in 2007, please complete all applicable items on your Economic Census form and return it to the Census Bureau. The census covers virtually all business activities, including those by individuals and from private homes.

8. What if I am a nonprofit organization?
You must complete your census form and return it to the Census Bureau. Nonprofit organizations, including nonprofit educational organizations, are covered in the 2007 Economic Census. Coverage is based on what primary activity an establishment performs. Coverage is not affected by an organization's profit objectives, ownership, tax status, or other organizational characteristics.

9. The Classification Form I received does not fit my type of business. Do I still need to fill it out?
Yes. It is important that your business is properly classified for the 2007 Economic Census. If your principal business activity is not one of the prelisted descriptions, provide a detailed description of your business in the "Other kind of business or activity" box. Use the Remarks section (or somewhere on the form) if additional space is needed.
