if it's a hobby your income is taxable but none of your expenses are deductible for Federal income tax purposes.


 

Not exactly.  Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is still a deduction.  At first glance, even if the OP's activity ended up being a hobby (although he now said he things it may be a business), it sounds like much of the expenses are COGS.
