Would this gift be taxable?

My son's HS rowing team gave him a $500 gift for being the outstanding team member. (yes, we are very proud).

Is the gift taxable? They are a nonprofit.

Yes, it is a taxable award.

Line 21 Other Income or SE income? I think Line 21. SE income makes it subject to FICA taxes (15.3%), but allows you to deduct expenses as well, but this is an award.

Line 21 misc income. He's not in the trade or business of being an oarsman, so no Schedule C.
