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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 1a · First-class or charter travel
  • 1a · Travel for companions
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I Line 1a
First-Class Travel ABA does not generally permit first class travel. However, it is contingent to fare price and situation when business class is not available. The class of service is dependent on the length of trip. In accordance with policy, use of airline loyalty program upgrades and miles should be used to obtain First Class whenever possible. Any first-class travel must be approved by the Director of Travel Services.
Part I Line 1a
Travel for companions National officers were offered spousal travel for general business trips during the year. Spousal travel was treated as taxable and reported on a 1099 at year end.

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.
