Creating an LLC typically won't change your taxes. It is a flow through entity, therefore, any gains or losses will be reflected on your personal return.

You could choose to file as an S-corp under the LLC to potentially minimize some taxes on distributions vs. salary. But I would only do this if you were making a relatively good amount of money over your annual "salary" from selling online.

Not true.

This is how you make a LLC a flow through entity



ETA: Some advantages would be depreciation of the computer you use (if it is only for work), you could deduct the utilities used by your "office space", stuff like that. But for a business like that you are not creating a LLC for it's tax deductions but more for its liability coverage.
