Lobbying disclosure
Definition and selection boundary
A normalized Gov Influence group for reviewed filings that use TAX or BUD. Generic Government Issues (GOV) matches are excluded unless the same retained filing also reports TAX or BUD.
| Code and official label | Distinction | Organizations | Filings | Activities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
TAX — Taxation/Internal Revenue Code | Taxation/Internal Revenue Code records | 6 | 24 | 24 |
BUD — Budget/Appropriations | Budget/Appropriations records | 5 | 23 | 23 |
Excluded
- Do not include a filing solely for a GOV code or a generic reference to federal policy.
- Descriptions such as “government issues,” “administrative matters,” or “general appropriations” without TAX or BUD coding are too broad for this normalized group.
Classification method: Only filings carrying the reviewed Taxation/Internal Revenue Code or Budget/Appropriations LDA issue codes enter this grouping; generic keyword matches and the broad Government Issues code are excluded.
Site calculation
Matched collection by quarter
Counts use retained, exact-alias filings and count a filing once on this issue page even when more than one included code appears in it.
| Reporting quarter | Organizations | Filings |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 Q1 | 6 | 21 |
| 2026 Q2 | 6 | 21 |
32 of this page’s 42 filing matches also appear in at least one other normalized issue. That overlap is expected because a filing can report several official codes; issue totals must not be added together as if they were unique records.
Organization reporting patterns
Compare source-code and quarter patterns without applying fiscal-ideology labels or treating reported amounts as a policy position. Dollar fields preserve reporting state; partial means at least one applicable filing did not provide a numeric value.
| Organization | Quarter | Filings | Self-reported expenses | Outside-registrant income |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AARP | 2026-Q1 | 5 | $3,830,000 | $170,000 |
| AARP | 2026-Q2 | 4 | no applicable records | $170,000 |

| Amazon | 2026-Q2 | 2 | $4,360,000 | $80,000 |

| Boeing | 2026-Q2 | 4 | $2,770,000 | $160,000 |
| Meta | 2026-Q1 | 1 | no applicable records | $30,000 |
| Meta | 2026-Q2 | 1 | no applicable records | $30,000 |
| Microsoft | 2026-Q1 | 6 | $2,390,000 | $270,000 |
| Microsoft | 2026-Q2 | 7 | $2,690,000 | $300,000 |

| Pfizer | 2026-Q2 | 3 | $1,880,000 | $210,000 |
Self-reported organization expenses are never added to outside-registrant income. A filing may also cover matters outside this normalized issue, so its organization-level amount is contextual and is not allocated to a code, description, bill, or outcome.
Representative original descriptions
One deterministic example is selected for each included code by organization name and filing ID. The text is preserved from the filing and is illustrative, not a ranking.

Context only
Reviewed bill context
A bill appears only when original matched filing language explicitly names it or an existing approved contextual-link record supplies the basis. A mention does not show support, opposition, coordination, effect, or causation.

Interpretation
What this page cannot show

- Whether reported activity caused an appropriation, tax provision, or funding outcome.
- Government-issues activity that lacks a TAX or BUD code, or activity outside the collection.
- Code matches, descriptions, timing, organizations, reported amounts, and bill references do not establish influence, coordination, motive, wrongdoing, or causation.
