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, Part I, Line 1a First-class or charter travel
DAV-PAID AIRFARE IS TYPICALLY FOR COACH-CLASS TRAVEL.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions

IN THE CASE OF THE DAV TRAVELER REQUIRING AID AND ASSISTANCE, DAV WILL BEAR THE FULL EXPENSE OF THE COMPANION AND IT IS NOT CONSIDERED TAXABLE INCOME. IN 2024, NO COMPANION TRAVEL WAS PROVIDED FOR INDIVIDUALS LISTED ON FORM 990 PART VII.
