Reporting partnership contributions

July 25, 2022

Partnerships and limited liability companies (LLCs) that are treated as partnerships for tax purposes may make contributions to influence federal elections under certain circumstances. A partnership contribution counts against the contribution limits for both the partnership and the individual partners. Committees receiving such contributions disclose information about the partnership and the individual partners making up the contribution. Partnership/LLC contributions are disclosed on Line 11(a)(i) (Contributions from Individuals/Persons other than Political Committees) of the Detailed Summary Page of Form 3 or Form 3X and itemized on the Schedule A supporting this line.
