Small Business LLC <8k Income for 2021 - Taxes Owed?

Hello,

I formed a small one-member home based LLC selling homemade duffle bags via the usual online websites, including my own.  The business will gross an estimated $8k or less, for 2021.  I cannot find a reputable resource that gives me a breakdown or a way to calculate Federal Taxes to be owed based on my figures.   I will be filing as an individual, adding the profits onto my usual tax return as earned income, unless directed otherwise. 

I am am on the side of caution, want to make sure I am not caught unprepared in the event that taxes might be owed after the figures are finalized. 

Is there anyone that has a link that allows me to enter figures and get an accurate estimate that doesn't give the usual generic answers?  Are there any tax breaks a small business like myself qualifies for that I am unaware of?

Thank you!

    You can prepare a fake return on TurboTax online and abandon it. Your profit is both federally taxable and as a Schedule C independent contractor you will also pay 15.3% SE taxes. You may take ordinary and necessary expenses against your income. You are also potentially eligible to take the QBI deduction.
