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 1A
- CHARTER TRAVEL IS USED BY ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES' BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF (AND OCCASIONALLY ACCOMPANYING SPOUSES/COMPANIONS) WHEN IT IS DEEMED THE MOST EFFICIENT METHOD OF TRAVEL TO DISTANT AREAS WITHIN THE STATE OR TO SURROUNDING STATES FOR PURPOSES RELATED TO ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S BUSINESS. SEPARATE TRAVEL (NON-CHARTER) FOR COMPANIONS IS REIMBURSED BY THE EMPLOYEE IF SUCH TRAVEL IS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; THUS, SUCH TRAVEL IS NOT CONSIDERED TAXABLE COMPENSATION TO THE EMPLOYEE. EIGHT OFFICERS/EMPLOYEES AND ONE BOARD MEMBER USED CHARTER TRAVEL DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR. BECAUSE THE CHARTER TRAVEL WAS USED FOR ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S BUSINESS PURPOSES, IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED AS TAXABLE WAGES.
- PART I, LINE 3

- FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINES 5-7
- THE INCENTIVE PLANS FOR ALL ENTITIES CHANGED WITH THE 2013 TAX RETURNS, AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC RULES AND CALCULATIONS FOR BONUSES. NONE ARE CONTINGENT ON REVENUES OR NET EARNINGS OF THE ORGANIZATIONS (ANY), AND SINCE THEY ARE CALCULATED BASED ON A SPECIFIC FORMULA, THEY ARE NOT "NON-FIXED". THE QUESTIONS 5, 6, AND 7 IN PART I TO SCHEDULE J ARE ALL CORRECTLY ANSWERED "NO".
- FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A, LINE 5:
