Per IRS Publication 17 Your Federal Income Tax For Individuals, page 94:

Activity not for profit.  You must include on your return income from an activity from which you do not expect to make a profit. An example of this type of activity is a hobby or a farm you operate mostly for recreation and pleasure. Enter this income on Form 1040, Line 21. Deductions for expenses related to the activity are limited. They cannot total more than the income you report and can be taken only if you itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040). See Not-for-Profit Activities in Chapter 1 of IRS Publication 535 Business Expenses for information on whether an activity is considered carried on for a profit.
