The “per election” information is generally only required for state candidates and committees that are subject to contribution limits. The Act does not contain contribution limits for local candidates and committees; however, local ordinances may include limits and other restrictions and reporting requirements. Local candidates and committees should check with the local elections office about reporting obligations under local laws. 7 Balance Outstanding to Date Report the outstanding balance for which the guarantor is liable at the close of the reporting period.
H. General Rules for Reporting Nonmonetary Contributions Received on Schedule C
Schedule C is used to report nonmonetary contributions received by the committee. Nonmonetary contributions are goods or services provided to the committee for which it does not pay the fair market value. The fair market value is the amount the committee would pay for the goods or services on the open market – whatever it would cost any member of the general public to obtain the same goods or services. (See Chapter 3 for assistance in determining the fair market value of a nonmonetary contribution.)
Ex 9.5 - A restaurant donates food for a committee fundraiser. The cost of the food if purchased by the committee would be $1,000. The committee must report $1,000 as the fair market value of the contribution even though the cost to the restaurant was less than the fair market value.
