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

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Form 990, Part VII, Lines 4 and 5
All employees are employed by Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, Inc. However, the cost of salaries and fringe benefits are allocated by the amount of time spent working for either entity through an arrangement with Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions Forum (CRES Forum), an unrelated organization exempt under section 501(c)(3). CRES Forum reimburses Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions, Inc. for its share of these expenses.
