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.
