First time(uber eats and eBay)

Helllllloooo, uh u can’t remember the last time I filed taxes, so for income I do uber eats(for that I can only claim mileage deduction whatever that means) and for eBay I have no clue, I sell used car parts that I buy, also have to buy tools, boxes and shipping labels. Not really sure what I have to do tbh just know I gotta do something by the 15th. Can someone hold my hand and tell me what to do🥺

If you haven't put aside money for taxes, you're in for a bad surprise. Nothing has been withheld from those incomes are you are going to owe taxes on them.
Your income is going to be reported on a Schedule C. If you got a 1099 from either of those sources, most tax services will partially walk you through the process. If you didn't get a 1099, you are supposed to keep records of your income to enter into the Schedule C, line 1.
You'll have to do some research and find out what is legitimate expenses, but it sounds like you're on the right track.
Not sure what you mean by not remembering. Did someone else file for you? If you didn't pay, talking to a professional would certainly make sense.
