§ 87207 Income Source Reporting Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •You must report where your money comes from if you make $500 or more from one place (or $50 or more if it's a gift).
  • •You have to say how much money you got from each place, like if it was between $500-$1,000, $1,000-$10,000, etc.
  • •If someone gives you a gift, you must say what it was, how much it cost, and when you got it.
  • •If you got a loan, you must say how much interest you pay, what you used as security (like a car or house), and how long you have to pay it back.

Example

You get a $600 bonus from your job and a $75 gift card from your neighbor.

You have to report your job because you got more than $500 from them. You also have to report the gift card because it's over $50. You'll say how much each was worth and when you got them.

§ 87207 Income Source Reporting Requirements

(a) If income is required to be reported under this article, the statement shall contain, except as provided in subdivision (b): (1) The name and street address of each source of income aggregating five hundred dollars ($500) or more in value, or fifty dollars ($50) or more in value if the income was a gift, and a general description of the business activity, if any, of each source. (2) A statement whether the aggregate value of income from each source, or in the case of a loan, the highest amount owed to each source, was at least five hundred dollars ($500) but did not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000), whether it was in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000) but was not greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), whether it was greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) but not greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), or whether it was greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). (3) A description of the consideration, if any, for which the income was received. (4) In the case of a gift, the amount and the date on which the gift was received, and the travel destination for purposes of a gift that is a travel payment, advance, or reimbursement. (5) In the case of a loan, the annual interest rate, the security, if any, given for the loan, and the term of the loan. (b) If the filer’s pro rata share of income to a business entity, including income to a sole proprietorship, is required to be reported under this article, the statement shall contain: (1) The name, street address, and a general description of the business activity of the business entity. (2) The name of every person from whom the business entity received payments if the filer’s pro rata share of gross receipts from that person was equal to or greater than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) during a calendar year. (c) If a payment, including an advance or reimbursement, for travel is required to be reported pursuant to this section, it may be reported on a separate travel reimbursement schedule which shall be included in the filer’s statement of economic interests. A filer who chooses not to use the travel schedule shall disclose payments for travel as a gift, unless it is clear from all surrounding circumstances that the services provided were equal to or greater in value than the payments for the travel, in which case the travel may be reported as income. (Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 102, Sec. 4. (AB 903) Effective January 1, 2020. Note: This section was added on June 4, 1974, by initiative Prop. 9.)
