Maybe---since you are posting from Self-Employed that means you need to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.  You have not told us anything else about your filing status, dependents (if any) etc.

yes. it is possible.  your net Schedule C income is subject to a 14.1% net Self employment tax (see schedule SE). in addition, you're subject to income taxes on your net taxable income
