ANNNDD, yoru post indicates you are using Self Employed.
IF you are self-employed and have a net gain from your SE income, then you owe ~15.3% in Self Employment taxes (SS and Medicare) all before considering any income tax you might owe in the personal section of your tax file.
The SE taxes are applied to your net gain SE income, before any regular income tax deductions are considered in the personal section of the tax file. And if you are using the Standard Deduction in the personal tax area...none of that eliminates the SE tax.
