Why Is My IE Appearing on Line 21(B)? About Paying First and Disseminating Later

The following information impacts Form 3x & Form 3x (Party).

When an expense is paid in one period, but the IE is dated for a future period/dissemination date, the FEC has a specific way they want to see this itemized.

The IE is reported three times:

1. The original/parent expense is reported on Line 21b (or Line 29 if made using Carey Funds) in accordance with
   the report period of the original/parent transaction date.
2. When the Support/Oppose Memo date falls in the appropriate report
   period, we move the transaction from Line 21b / Line 29 to Line 24 / Sch E. This
   is done by reporting the original/parent expense as a negative on Line
   21b / Line 29.
3. On the same report, the IE is also reported on Line 24 / Sch E with all of the appropriate Candidate/Committee information.

This will impact your per-line totals, especially in Col B. But because we are itemizing the transaction as a negative on Line 21b / Line 29,
the overall impact on your ending cash on hand is negated.
