Are referral bonus stocks taxable?


Was new to Robinhood and stock trading in general (I’m a noob so please go easy on me). I realized it wasn’t for me after only about a couple days and deactivated my account but I’m curious. When I made my account, Robinhood gave me $5.00 for free upon making my account and I put it in apple stock. I withdrew it not long after and didn’t really net any profits besides a few cents on top of that. Would I still be sent a 1099-B form later for this activity? Is this really a taxable event
