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
Within the policy limits, Edgar Sandoval was reimbursed for housing allowance and technology, Margaret Schuler was reimbursed for housing allowance and education, Christopher Glynn was reimbursed for housing allowance and technology, Daisy Szabo was reimbursed for education and life insurance, John Shunk was reimbursed for financial planning, and Priscilla Tuan was reimbursed for education, health club membership dues, technology and dependent travel. All benefits were added to the employee's taxable income. Edgar Sandoval's wife accompanied him on trips during the year for bona fide business purposes. Because her travel was for business purposes, it was not included in taxable income.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-Fixed Payments
The organization made nonfixed payments in the form of discretionary bonuses to certain staff based on performance, market conditions, and other factors. Discretionary bonus amounts are included in the board-approved budget.

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.
