    HSO4 - -> (NH4) 2SO4

    Yes it is a redox reaction.

    H is + 1

    S is + 7

    on the other side ...

    N is - 3

    H is + 1 (always + 1, thats part of the oxidation rule)

    S is + 6

    O is always - 2

    So what happened? Sulfur lost one electron, so it is reduced. This is why is a redox reaction.
