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

Answered yes

  • 1a · Tax indemnification and gross-up payments
  • 1a · Health or social club dues or initiation fees
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

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

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
HEALTH CLUB DUES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES OF DEA AND WERE PAID PER COMPANY POLICY. THE ANNUAL HOLIDAY CASH GIFT TO EMPLOYEES (EXCLUDING EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT) WAS GROSSED-UP TO COVER APPLICABLE TAXES.
PART I, LINE 4B
SCHEDULE J LINE 1(I) COLUMN B (III) INCLUDES A REQUIRED DISTRIBUTION OF $35,446 OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION FROM THE NRECA PENSION RESTORATION PLAN THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPORTED ON PRIOR 990'S. THIS IS THE SAME AMOUNT THAT IS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE J LINE 1(I) COLUMN F.
SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C
THE ESTIMATED CURRENT YEAR INCREASE IN THE ACTUARIAL VALUE OF THE DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN IS INCLUDED IN OTHER COMPENSATION FOR EMPLOYEES LISTED IN PART II OF SCHEDULE J. THESE AMOUNTS DO NOT REPRESENT ANY CURRENT YEAR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN. THEY ARE ESTIMATES OF THE INCREASE IN THE ACTUARIAL VALUE OF THE PLANS PROVIDED BY THE NRECA.

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.
