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

- 1a · Housing allowance or residence for personal use

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- PART I, LINE 1A
- CERTAIN EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THE HEAD OF SCHOOL, ARE REQUIRED TO LIVE ON CAMPUS AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT. THE SCHOOL REPORTS THE VALUE OF THE HOUSING AS NONTAXABLE BENEFITS IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (D). THE HEAD OF SCHOOL HOSTS EVENTS AT THE RESIDENCE. A CLEANING SERVICE IS USED TO CLEAN THE PUBLIC AREAS OF THE HOME, NOT THE PERSONAL SPACE. THEREFORE, THIS IS NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE INCOME.
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.
Grants on this return
No itemized grants to organizations on this return.
