Hot Tip - Refunding Contributions
There are two ways of entering refunded contributions - the first is as a contribution reversal which lists refunds as NEGATIVE contributions but does not total on the Refunded Contributions line on the FEC or FPPC report.
The second is as an expense, with the Reporting Code "Refunded Contribution" - this totals the refunds and will show up on Line 20a (on FEC Form 3) and lists the refunds in Schedule B (for CA Form 460).
If you have a reversal, DO NOT CHECK THE REVERSAL BOX ON THE ORIGINAL TRANSACTIONS. Instead, add a new contribution for the same amount & check the reversal box on that transaction. This way you'll have two transactions that cancel each other out.
- Go to the Donor's Record.
- Select Contribution under Add a Transaction
- Click the Reversal box and fill in the amount of the refund and the date.
- Save changes
