"Other income" is all income other than contributions and loans. All "other income" must be reported.

Refer to your election authority’s regulations for specifics. Examples of other income that should be recorded in the Other Income module could be:

• proceeds from the sale of committee assets
• return of deposits
• refund checks
• interest earned on committee investments, including loans made by the committee (but not passbook, CD or checking account interest – see below)
• matching funds grants.

Examples of income that should be recorded under other modules:

• passbook and CD interest (record in the Passbook/CD module)
• interest posted directly to the checking account (record in the Bank Operations module).
