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
The Foundation provides gross-up payments for mortgage forgiveness, long-term disability insurance, and life insurance. These payments are included as taxable wages during the year. All permanent full-time employees of the Foundation are eligible for the gross-up payments.
Part I, Line 4b
CHMC Otolaryngologic Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation) established two Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, effective as of December 1, 2007, to reward licensed physician employees with a benefit based on service. The sources of contributions for these plans are from employer discretionary amounts, if any, severance benefits, and elective deferrals. The amounts are vested on the occurrence of any of the following events: five years of employment; attainment of normal retirement date; death; disability; or change in control.
Part I, Line 7
Bonus compensation amounts are determined by the Chief of the Department of Otolaryngology, all board members, and Finance Committee members. They need to consider data such as performance for physician cost centers, their financial reports, research activities, hospital program for Patient Safety & Quality participation, and teaching activities.

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.
