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

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

EXPLANATION OF AMOUNT REPORTED IN PART II, COLUMN (C)
INCLUDED IN OTHER COMPENSATION IS THE ESTIMATED CURRENT YEAR INCREASE OR DECREASE IN THE ACTUARIAL VALUE OF THE DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN. THE CURRENT YEAR INCREASE OR DECREASE DOES NOT REPRESENT CURRENT YEAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN. RATHER, IT IS AN ESTIMATE OF THE INCREASE OR DECREASE IN THE ACTUARIAL VALUE OF THE PLAN AS CALCULATED BY THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR. THE CURRENT YEAR CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE FOR THOMAS HOFFMAN IS $38,755 WITH ACTUAL CURRENT YEAR EXPENSE OF $31,184. THE CURRENT YEAR CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE FOR JENNY STRYHN IS $25,408 WITH ACTUAL CURRENT YEAR EXPENSE OF $43,978. THE CURRENT YEAR CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE FOR ROBERT HOBERG IS $40,200 WITH ACTUAL CURRENT YEAR EXPENSE OF $20,038. THE CURRENT YEAR CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE FOR JONATHAN MESSNER IS $9,048 WITH ACTUAL CURRENT YEAR EXPENSE OF $28,386. THE CURRENT YEAR CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE FOR STEPHANIE WROBLESKI IS $8,280 WITH ACTUAL CURRENT EXPENSE OF $25,587.
