Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
Schedule J
Answered yes
- 1a · Travel for companions
- 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
- 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
- 3 · Compensation survey or study
- 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
- 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a
- Spouse travel was provided to board members. The spouse travel benefits were treated as taxable compensation if they exceeded $600.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 4
- The credit union has established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for select members of management under Section 457(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each participant who is offered the plan must be continuously employed for a certain number of years to earn the deferred compensation payment. Amounts accrued under the plan for 2024 were as follows: Shepard $92,967, Galassini $36,871
Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
