Miscellaneous receipts aren't gifts. They're often the candidate's own money moving from an earlier campaign or surplus account, so it's counted again in the campaign that receives it, plus interest and refunds.

Transfers from the candidate's own accounts aren't new gifts. This money moved from the candidate's surplus account or another of their campaigns, so it's counted again in the campaign that receives it.
