It depends if your new business started in 2023 or 2024. If you didn't actually "open your doors" until 2024, you wouldn't report the startup costs until that year. All the expenses you mentioned may be considered to be startup costs. You may expense up to $5,000 in startup costs in the year that your business starts. Any amount over $5,000 would be amortized over a period of 15 years.
Note that your business activity will be reported on Schedule C Profit or Loss from Business as part of your Form 1040 return. Any profit would be taxed as self-employment income. None of this activity is reported as itemized deductions on your individual tax return, which allows you to claim the standard deduction if you qualify.
