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

  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Written employment contract

  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues

  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 7
Bonuses are given for exceptional performance. Sometimes they are set out at the beginning of the year in a reconfirmation letter which describes the criteria for achieving the bonus as well as the potential amount. They may also be given during the year or at annual performance review time. In either situation, consideration is given to budget limitations, the person's position, title and compensation, historical trends and market best practices.

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.
