Be aware the 4-H projects are usually treated differently than regular 'farming' income.  It is usually reported as 'other income' and not as a business.  This is one of the rare exceptions to 'other income' that you CAN report your NET income (after expenses).  However, you may need to manually attach a list of income and expenses and file by mail.
