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 — 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)

Part I, Line 1a
First class or charter travel: The Institute's travel policy generally does not permit first class or charter travel. There are a small number of exceptions for approved medical accomodations or other business required special circumstances. Tax indemnification and gross-up payments: SwRI provided additional cash compensation (reported on the W-2 and Schedule J) to partially offset the economic impact of a grandfathered taxable benefit to one officer. This represents .26% of total officer compensation. Health or social club dues/fees: SwRI reimburses the membership cost for one officer at a social club. The personal portion is included in compensation and any charges related to personal use are paid by the officer.

Amounts paid during calendar year 2022 are shown on Sch. J, Part II, Col. (B)(ii).
