“Form 990 is prepared by an outside tax professional. The form is then reviewed by the organization's management, a member of the Board of Directors, and the COO. This group of individuals then discusses the contents of the return with the outside tax professional. After a full review, the final version of the tax return is provided to all members of the organization's voting body. A representative of management approves the final return which is then e-filed with the Department of the Treasury.”
“Members of the Board of Directors review all potential conflicts of interest at least annually. All personnel and board members are required to disclose (in writing) potential conflicts and any related party affiliations. Loans between the Organization and members of management and the board are strictly prohibited. The Organization seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts (in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures.”
“Members of the Board of Directors review the compensation of all top management personnel periodically in accordance with IRS rules and regulations. Efforts are made to secure compensation data from industry sources in order to determine competitiveness and appropriateness of salaries. Every effort is made to ensure that the process is thorough and transparent in accordance with IRS guidelines and the organization's policies and procedures. Final compensation adjustments are approved by the Board.”
“Compensation of other individuals (including high-level personnel and key employees) is reviewed periodically by members of management. Efforts are made to secure compensation data from industry sources in order to determine competitiveness and appropriateness of salaries and all related benefits. All decisions are then documented in personnel files.”
“All of the organization's governing documents, financial statements and other legal Filings are maintained in a secure environment and held available for inspection by Tax authorities and the general public. Tax returns are posted annually to www.guidestar.org (where they are available for viewing as electronic copies) and are also available by request from the organization's office in Sacramento, California.”

“Income Taxes CalMatters is organized as California nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the IRS as exempt from federal income taxes under IRC Section 501(a) as organizations described in IRC Section 501(c)(3), qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under IRC Sections 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and (viii), and has been determined not to be private foundations under IRC Sections 509(a)(1) and (3), respectively. CalMatters is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. We have determined that the entity is not subject to unrelated business income tax and have not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990-T) with the IRS. CalMatters has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that CalMatters continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status.”
