You are correct Hobby income doesn't pay SE tax but you also can't write off any expenses against it.

 

From your answers to the questions I would say you have Hobby income, The IRS usually questions business income and if you can't prove to the IRS it's a business then they consider it hobby income. I haven't seen them question hobby income and make it business income
