Gifts and Travel Reimbursements

The reporting of gifts and travel reimbursements can be a bit more complex.

Here's the good news: If you are a "new entrant" filer (i.e., you just entered federal service), you don't have to report gifts and travel reimbursements. You will have to report them on your next year's form, though.

Here's what needs to be reported if you're not new to federal service:

• Travel-related reimbursements (items such as lodging, transportation, and food) totaling more than $305 from any one source during the reporting period. Include where you traveled, the purpose, and date(s) of the trip
• Any other gifts totaling more than $305 from any one source during the reporting period

But, if you received more than one gift from the same source:

1. Determine the value of each item you received from that source;
2. Ignore each item valued at $122 or less;
3. Add the value of those items valued at more than $122;
4. If the total is more than $305, then you must list those items on the form
