Candidate Feldman ran for Congress in November of 2020, raising $4.7 million for the campaign, including $800,000 in federal matching amounts. Five months after his opponent was sworn into office, campaign auditors discovered that Feldman had used $500,000 of campaign donations for a personal vacation to Belize in January of 2021. Unfortunately, Feldman has just now made your manager aware of this and asked her if this was a problem. Feldmans 2021 tax return was filed timely by your CPA firm and did not include any income with respect to the receipt of campaign funds.

Since Feldmans 2021 tax return has already been filed and your manager has just received this information, please make sure you include next steps as part of your file memo recommendation for your manager.
