The FEC individual-contribution file is a subset of itemized contributions, generally triggered once cycle-to-date or calendar-year-to-date giving exceeds $200. Memo entries remain included under the FEC bulk-file instructions. Net totals may include signed corrections, refunds, and reattributions.
