Part VII requires reporting of two types of compensation: 1) reportable compensation (amounts reportable on a person's Form W-2 (box 5) or Form 1099 (box 7)) and 2) other compensation.
The 990 is a public document that you can search for on the websites for the Secretary of State or the Attorney General where the organization is incorporated. In addition, 990s are available from a variety of open source and subscription sources. You may also request them from an organization or from the IRS.
An exempt organization must make available for public inspection its annual information return (e.g., Form 990, Form 990-EZ). Returns must be available for a three-year period beginning with the due date of the return (including any extension of time for filing) or, if later, the date it is actually filed.
Unrealized losses and gains have no immediate tax consequences because they are just paper profits or paper losses. Investors only have to report gains or losses when they divest capital assets, and then they must reconcile the profit or loss on Schedule D of their Form 1040 in the same tax year they sold the asset.
Securities that are available for sale are also recorded on a company's balance sheet as an asset at fair value. However, the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in comprehensive income on the balance sheet.
Unrealized gain or loss on investments may be grouped with “investment income” on the financial statements. Form 990 does not take into account unrealized gain or loss in arriving at total revenue, thus it is a reconciling item on Schedule D.
On the 990, investment revenue is reported in Part XVIII, and investment expenses are reported in Part IX. Investment unrealized gains/losses are reported on your financial statements. For tax purposes, the investment return is not recognized until it is realized- that is until the investment is sold.
Highest Compensated Independent Contractor means any independent contractor engaged by the Organization, whose total compensation would require the contractor to be listed in Part II of Schedule A of IRS Form 990, or in response to an equivalent question on any successor exempt organization annual return.
Schedule R, Part V, Form 990, requires reporting of transactions between the filing organization and its related organizations.
