The NY 24-Hour Report is required from all committee types for any contribution or loan received which exceeds $1,000 whose transaction date falls between the cut-off date of the 11-Day Pre-Election Report and the date of the Election.
Important Notes:
- We recommend upon completion of generating your report, that you save it as a PDF for your records or to compare to other reports. This must be done at the time of generation, or you will not be able to save it as a PDF without generating it. You can also download the e-filing for your records as well.
- NY efiling does not support the concept of splits or memos for Monetary Contribution, with the exception of splits of contributions from Partnerships, LLPs & LLCs. Typically states want to see where the money originated/ended up, so we itemize receipt splits as cash-impact transactions, and do not itemize the whole/parent transaction except for splits of contributions from Partnerships, LLPs & LLCs. For this report only, we only pull the whole/parent transaction for those entity types.
- The NY import is quite finicky and has strict data requirements. In addition, the NY site does not work on Chrome, use Firefox. Please see the helpfile about Common Validation Errors for additional information related to issues encountered when uploading files to the NY site.
- If you want to see the efile (.csv) before uploading to the NY site, it is imperative that after downloading, you open the file in Notepad or Notepad++, NOT Excel, Numbers, or similar (right click – open with Notepad or Notepad++).
- We do not supply Occupation/Employer on the efile for the ’24 Hour Report’ version, as it is not required by the state. We supply Occupation/Employer/Employer Address for the ‘PCF 24 Hour’ / ‘PCF 24 Hour (Itemize All)’ if the transaction has the box checked to be Submitted for Matching Funds.
- Please see the helpfile about Transaction Method Rules.
