The couple’s earnings and assets were to be detailed in personal financial disclosure forms that Mrs. Clinton and other presidential candidates were required to file with federal election officials no later than Friday.

The filings cover the period since January 2014.

Mrs. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, earned more than $25 million from speaking engagements, the official said. The official insisted on anonymity to discuss the filing before it was disclosed publicly.

Mrs. Clinton’s earnings from her memoir of her time as secretary of state, “Hard Choices,” exceeded $5 million, the official said; the financial-disclosure forms do not require a precise figure.
