Tax obligation for part time home business?

I just retired last year and began providing genealogy services to friends who have referred other 'customers' to me. I have tracked my expenses and income and have made a very small profit. Also, I do not charge by the hour, I charge by the number of direct ancestors I can find. I do not charge the customary $25-$100/hr for my time because this has become a new passion or hobby for me. My customers (only 14 so far) are thrilled with the family tree book I provide to them and say I am providing a 'public service'.

If my net profit is less than $400, do I need to fill out any tax forms just to show this?

I'm not sure if there is a minimum you need to make to file as a small home business.

But you could possibly deduct things around your home if you qualify as a home business that could help you out as well.
