As stated in my previous answer, it appears you have hobby income. If you select "none of these apply to me" you're indicating that this income is not hobby income but self-employment income.
When you have self-employment income, you have to pay self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare) and those taxes are added to the amount of taxes you should pay on your income therefore decreasing your refunds.
- The SE tax rate is 15.3% with 12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare.
