When do I report my lobbying compensation?

You may have questions about whether to report lobbying compensation when you earn it, or when you are paid.

Compensation should be reported for the month you earn it, and lobbying compensation must be reported monthly during any month that you lobby.

A contract lobbyist, for example, should report lobbying compensation earned for the month. An in-house lobbyist should report compensation paid for the hours lobbied in that month.
