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

  • 1a · Housing allowance or residence for personal use

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a
The board of trustees approves the president's spouse salary and travel to assist in hospitality services. In addition, as a condition of employment and for convenience of the Seminary, the president is required to maintain housing at Rose Hill, the school owned home for the president. This condition is required so that the president and his wife can use the house for hospitality events involving Seminary guests. In addition, Rose Hill is used on occasion to house overnight guests of the Seminary. In exchange for this relationship, the use of Rose Hill as a residence is provided as a non-taxable fringe benefit for as long as this arrangement meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service
