4-H Club or FFA project. If an individual participates in a 4­H Club or National FFA Organization (FFA) project, any net income received from sales or prizes related to the project may be subject to income tax. Report the net income as “Other income” on line 21 of Form 1040. If necessary, attach a statement showing the gross income and expenses.

Such a project is generally not considered a trade or business.
