The newest acquired annual was filed August 13, 2026. Report sections have different reporting cutoffs; later amendments and underlying transactions are not independently established.","Campaign cycles have individual start and end dates; 2026 figures are partial periods. Original and amended reports can change historic totals.","No hidden funding channel, financial motive for AI policy, or undisclosed personal enrichment is established by this collection. Documented civil findings and settlements retain their exact parties, scope and outcomes.","Legislative announcements and introduced proposals are not enacted law. The September 2026 ASI proposal lacks a located filed identifier and full statutory text in this review.","The Voteview archive includes not-voting and present entries and excludes quorum calls and vacated votes; its latest captured vote is August 8, 2026.","Checked-on dates indicate review of a source or index reference, not necessarily acquisition of the full original. accessStatus and source notes identify unacquired documents and third-party mirrors."]},"record":{"id":"r4-institute-prior-period-adjustments-2022-2023","category":"organizations","title":"Reported adjustments reconcile the 2022 and 2023 net-asset changes","date":"2023-12-31","period":"Calendar tax years 2022 and 2023","status":"Filed adjustments; underlying entries not identified","summary":"Part XI reports positive prior-period adjustments of $601 for 2022 and $3,100 for 2023.
