With eligible compensation only from self employment, the amount that you can contribute to an IRA is your net profit from self-employment (Schedule C line 31) minus the deductible portion of your self-employment taxes. With exactly $3,000 of net profit, your maximum permissible Roth IRA contribution would be $2,788.

For an IRA contribution, you can contribute up to your net income.
You may be able to increase your refund (or decrease taxes owed) by purchasing a Traditional IRA, and you have until April 18, 2016 to do so.
Although the Roth IRA is not tax deductible as is the Traditional IRA, both may qualify you for the Saver's Credit, which may also increase your refund.
