25.13. How do I enter an allocated transfer of in-kind contributions?

In order to properly report the allocated transfer of in-kind contributions from the state to the federal committee, you'll need to follow the steps below. This will report the transaction as the FEC guide dictates: an H3 transfer for the amount of the in-kind, an H4 transaction to the vendor for the amount of the in-kind with the full amount in the Non-Federal share field, and an H4 transaction to the state committee for their share of the in-kind with the full amount in the Federal field while not impacting the event total.

Here are the instructions for doing this in Campaign Manager:

1. Create a normal H3 transfer for the amount of the in-kind, from the state to federal, with a fundraising allocation selected.

2. Create an expense on the vendor record from which the in-kind was purchased for the full amount of the in-kind. Needs the same fundraising allocation as the H3, and the reporting code 100NF.

3. Create an expense on the state committee record for the amount of value being claimed by the state committee. This needs the same fundraising allocation as the H3, and the reporting code 100F.

4. Link the above two expenses.
