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

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
SPOUSES ARE ALLOWED TO ACCOMPANY ALL OF THE CREDIT UNION'S EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS WHEN SUCH PERSONS TRAVEL TO CONFERENCES OR TRAINING. THE SPOUSES' ATTENDANCE WAS NOT FOR A BONA FIDE BUSINESS PURPOSE. THIS BENEFIT IS TREATED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION TO THE SPOUSE, AND THE CREDIT UNION ISSUES A 1099-MISC TO THE SPOUSE IF THE BENEFIT EXCEEDS APPLICABLE IRS REPORTING THRESHOLDS.
PART I, LINE 3
COMPENSATION FOR THE CREDIT UNION'S CEO IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. TO DETERMINE THE CEO'S SALARY, THE BOARD CONSIDERS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, PUBLISHED PEER SALARY GUIDE/DATA AND THE CREDIT UNION'S FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. THE CEO SETS ALL OTHER MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEE SALARIES BASED ON SIMILAR GUIDELINES.
PART I, LINE 4B
THE CREDIT UNION ESTABLISHED ALABAMA TEACHERS CREDIT UNION 457(B) AND (F) PLANS. THE 457(B) PLAN WAS INTENTED TO BE AN ELIGIBLE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN UNDER SECTION 457(B) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE 457(F) PLAN WAS INTENDED TO BE INELIGIBLE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457(F) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THESE PLANS WERE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CREDIT UNION AND THE CREDIT UNION'S PRESIDENT/CEO ("PLAN PARTICIPANT"). SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLANS, THE CREDIT UNION SET ASIDE FUNDS ("EMPLOYER FUND") TO BE INVESTED AT THE DIRECTION OF THE PLAN PARTICIPANT. ON SPECIFIED MEASUREMENT DATES OF THE EMPLOYER FUND, TO THE EXTENT THE EMPLOYER FUND HAD EARNINGS, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE CONTRIBUTION FOR THE PLAN PARTICIPANT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE ALABAMA TEACHERS CREDIT UNION 457(F)/(B) PLANS. BOTH PLANS WERE TERMINATED EFFECTIVE MAY 29, 2023, AND THE AMOUNTS DUE TO THE CREDIT UNION'S PRESIDENT/CEO WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION UPON THE PLAN PARTICIPANT'S SEVERANCE OF EMPLOYMENT.

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.
