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)

PART I, LINE 4B
RMEF ADDED A 457(F) PLAN FOR CASEY CLINE. IN 2022, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INITIATED AND COMPLETED A NEW CONTRACT FOR R. KYLE WEAVER. AS PART OF THE NEW CONTRACT, WEAVER'S 457(F) PLAN WAS CLOSED OUT AND THE REMAINING BALANCE OF $90,357 FROM 2021 AND 2020 CONTRIBUTIONS WAS PAID OUT AND INCLUDED IN 2022 BASE COMPENSATION. RMEF NO LONGER FUNDS A 457(F) PLAN FOR R. KYLE WEAVER. THE ORGANIZATION CONTRIBUTED $10,000 TO CASEY CLINE'S 457(F).
