25.4. Proper Data Entry for Reattribution of Contributions on FEC Form 3, 3P, or 3X

The following is an example of a contribution that was reported in Q1, but then was partially reattributed to a spouse/other person during Q2. This involves 3 transactions in total:

1) The original contribution

Example:
Entity: Ellen Nye
TYPE: Contribution
SUBTYPE: Check
Date: 03/13/2010
Amount: $4800

2) Create "Reattribution FROM" contribution. This transaction will -MOST LIKELY- be a negative amount, and will be dated within the reporting period. Link to original Contribution.

Entity: Ellen Nye
TYPE: Contribution
SUBTYPE: Reattribution from Memo
Date: 06/01/2010
Amount: $-2400

3) Create "Reattribution TO" contribution. This transaction will -MOST LIKELY- be a positive amount, to a different entity and will be dated within the reporting period. Link to original Contribution. 

Entity: Bill Nye
TYPE: Contribution
SUBTYPE: Reattribution to Memo
Date: 06/01/2010
Amount: $2400
