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 — 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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
MONTHLY CLUB DUES TO THE DETROIT ATHLETIC CLUB ARE PAID FOR CEO & PARTNER, NICK KARMANOS. THE AMOUNT IS TREATED AS A NONTAXABLE BENEFIT AS THE MEMBERSHIP IS USED FOR DONOR MEETINGS AND EVENTS. ANY PERSONAL USE OF THE MEMBERSHIP REIMBURSEMENT IS REIMBURSED BY NICK KARMANOS TO DCF.
PART I, LINE 1B
THERE IS NOT A FORMAL WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING THE PAYMENT OF THE CLUB DUES PAID BY DCF FOR NICK KARMANOS. HOWEVER, KARMANOS RECEIVES EMAIL APPROVAL FROM BOARD CHAIR, K.C. CRAIN, FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE DUES.

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.
