25.17. How do I enter in a disgorged contribution and their memo?

Sometimes a committee may need to disgorge a contribution because they cannot accept the funds. And typically the expense will have an accompanying memo that will detail the disgorged contribution. A regular expense is created, and then a sub-vendor memo is attached to the expense.

Enter in the details of the expense, and then go to linking > click sub-vendor, and then fill in the details of the record where the original contribution originated from.

If you are trying to get the transaction to appear to line 29, then a reporting code of 011 - political contributions or 012 - donations should be used. Also, the sub-vendor memo should have the same reporting code too. 

Most importantly, the date of the memo should be the same date as the expense. If the memo is dated the same date as the original contribution that came in from earlier, then the transaction will not pull properly to the 3X report.
