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

  • 1a · First-class or charter travel
  • 1a · Tax indemnification and gross-up payments
  • 1a · Personal services (maid, chauffeur, chef)
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Independent compensation consultant
  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1A:
THE ASSOCIATION PAID FOR FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL FOR THE PRESIDENT/CEO AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES. THE FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL WAS FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES, AND ACCORDINGLY, THE COST OF THE FIRST-CLASS TRAVEL WAS NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. ALL CTIA EMPLOYEES RECEIVE STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE. ADDITIONALLY, ALL SENIOR EXECUTIVES RECEIVE ADDITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE IN EXCESS OF THE STANDARD AMOUNT. THIS ADDITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE IS CONSIDERED TAXABLE INCOME TO THE EMPLOYEE. IN ORDER TO OFFSET THE TAX IMPACT ON THIS ADDITIONAL BENEFIT, CTIA USES THE "GROSS UP" METHOD TO COVER THE TAXES FOR THE EMPLOYEES. ANNUALLY, THE ASSOCIATION PROVIDES THE PRESIDENT/CEO AN EXECUTIVE PERQUISITE. THESE PERQUISITES INCLUDE AN ALLOWANCE WHICH CAN BE USED FOR PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP, INVESTMENT, TAX AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES. THE ASSOC'N INCLUDES THESE PERQUISITES IN THE EMPLOYEE'S TAXABLE WAGES (W-2).
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B:
THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATED IN A SUPPLEMENTAL NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN FROM CTIA. THE CONTRIBUTIONS ACCRUED TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL NON-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN ARE INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (C) AS PART OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION. MEREDITH A. BAKER - $500,000

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.
