3 Amount Paid Enter the total amount paid to the payee during the reporting period. Schedule G totals are not transferred to any other schedule or to the Summary Page. Q. General Rules for Reporting Loans Made to Others on Schedule H Schedule H is for reporting loans made by the committee. Campaign funds may be used to make loans to bona fide charitable, educational, civic, religious, or similar tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations, so long as the loan does not personally benefit the officeholder, candidate, committee treasurer, or any individual with authority to approve the expenditure of campaign funds, or any such person’s immediate family member. The loan must be reasonably related to a political, legislative, or governmental purpose. QUICK TIP: Most local committees will not make loans to others. If there is nothing to report on Schedule H, the schedule does not need to be included with the Form 460. Simply enter a zero or the word “none” on Line 7 of the overall Summary Page. Because a loan is considered a contribution, loans to other candidates and committees are subject to applicable state or local contribution limits. Loans to other candidates and committees must also be reported on Schedule D. Outstanding loans are reported on each campaign statement until they are paid. QUICK TIP: If a primarily formed committee makes contributions (including loans) to candidates, officeholders, or committees (other than to the candidate for which the committee is primarily formed), it may qualify as a different type of committee with different reporting obligations.
