The Office of Government Ethics certified the 2018 financial disclosures of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner on Wednesday, nearly a year after they were submitted.

Both amended the returns multiple times in recent months.

Ivanka amended hers a whopping six times over the past month, while Jared amended his a comparatively modest four times over the same time period.

The forms cover the pair’s financial disclosures for the year 2018.

They both submitted the filings in May 2018, but the Office of Government Ethics did not certify them until April 3, 2019.

The ethics office found at least one error in the filings. In a March 27 comment on both of the couple’s forms, an ethics official wrote that Kushner reported a transaction involving a legal entity that was, in fact, “a transaction of the underlying real estate.” That transaction occurred in 2017 and involved a company called Toledo Properties Owner LLC. The issue affected both the disclosures of Jared and Ivanka.

The couple’s financial disclosures have been a long-running saga replete with perpetual amendments and delays in certification.
