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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions
All spousal travel expenses paid by the organization must be approved by the President who determines whether the expense was for a necessary business purpose. The CFO must approve the spousal travel expenses for the President. Expenses incurred that are not determined to be necessary business expenses are taxable to the individual and included in their taxable compensation. Dana Rasic, President & Director, and Nathan Merrill, CFO, VP, Treasurer & Director received spousal travel benefits during the year.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments
The organization and related entities pay discretionary bonuses to their officers, directors, and key employees from time to time. The frequency and amount of the bonuses are determined by the Administrative Committee, CEO, or other management, and based on factors such as overall job performance, substantial extra projects, etc. The organizations do not have any employment contracts which obligate the payment of bonuses in the future.
