Reporting sources of income with net losses


If a City Form filer experiences a net loss from a business, but their gross earnings from  that business were more than $500, must they still list the business in the "Sources of  Income" section of their City Statement of Financial Interest Form?  

Yes. Filers are required to disclose any person who is the source of more than $500 in gross  income. It does not matter if the filer's net income for the business was below $500.
