Published on: 10292590. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to make revisions to financial disclosure forms that are adopted by reference in the various rules of Chapter 34-8, Florida Administrative Code. The filing year for the annual forms will be changed to “2011” (filers will complete and file these forms in 2012 for the calendar year ending December 31, 2011), the filing period for the 1F and 6F forms will be changed to 2012, and filing instructions are being revised for greater clarity. Additionally, where there were statutory changes to those who are required to file, those changes are reflected in the forms. Also, Rule 34-8.007, F.A.C., is being amended to address the situation where a filer elects to file his or her Federal income tax return with the CE Form 6 or 6X. If the filer used IRS e-file to transmit his or her Federal income tax return to the IRS, he or she may not have been required to transmit copies of Forms W-2, Forms 1099-R, and other forms showing sources of income. However, they are required to provide copies of these documents to the Commission if they elect to attach a copy of their Federal income tax return to their CE Form 6 or 6X since, unlike the IRS, the Commission does not receive the filer’s income records from other sources.
Published on: 10128369. The Commission proposes to change these rules to adopt by reference the CE Form 6, CE Form 6F, CE Form 6X, CE Form 1, CE Form 1F, and CE Form 1X that will be used by filers in calendar year 2012. The proposed rulemaking also amends Rule 34-8.007, F.A.C., to require copies of various documents revealing sources of income, whether or not they were included with an electronically filed federal income tax return, and amend rule titles to make the rules clearer.
