Worth a look Gifts · the statement
Lists $713.96 in gifts from California Donor Table in 2025; the limit from one source is $630
The statement lists 1 gift(s) from California Donor Table dated in 2025, totalling $713.96. The gift limit from a single source was $630 for 2025 (Government Code 89503).
What to check- Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
- Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
- The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.
