22.10. Form 3 - Line 14: Offsets to Operating Expenditures (Refunds, Rebates, etc)

Line 14: Offsets to Operating Expenditures (Refunds, Rebates, etc)

Any offsets to operating expenditures, such as refunds or rebates, should be reported on Line 14. Here are the steps required to enter this type of transaction:

1. Create a new EXPENSE (DO NOT reverse the original transaction) and fill out as normal with vendor being any entity, date, and amount
2. Click the "Reversal" button next to the vendor mini-search box
3. Either leave the "Reporting Code" field unselected, or set it to "Other"

To get a prior Memo transaction to appear underneath an Offset of Operating Expenditure on Line 14 of the FEC Form 3:

1. Create the Offset of Operating Expenditure as you normally would (see above)
2. Next, create a Memo Contribution with Reporting Code set to "011 - Refund of Contribution Made" and use Advanced Linking to link it to the original Offset of Operating Expenditure via the "Link to Disbursement:" field.
