Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“N/a - the board does not have committees.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“Chairman of board, chief of staff, and senior manager of finance and operations all review the 990.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“All new employees and board members are asked to sign a statement indicating they are familiar with the policy. President and chief of staff personally monitor activities of employees to assure compliance. In addition, the president and/or chief of staff hold weekly staff meetings with each department where they are able to scrutinize for any violation of the policy.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Before making recommendations to the board, the chief of staff obtains 990s from all washington-dc based similar organizations. Compensation is compared with other organizations. In addition, metrics such as press appearances, quotes, public effectiveness metrics (such as political magazine rankings) are taken into account before a recommendation is made. These metrics are discussed with the board before the board approves any compensation adjustment decisions for the president. These policies will be applied to future decisions the board makes regarding key employees as defined by the 990. Before 2008, americans for tax reform had no "key employees" other than the president.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Upon request, americans for tax reform will provide copies of these documents. In addition, the organization makes its form 990 available on guidestar.”

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Atr is exempt from payment of taxes under section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code (irc). Income from non-exempt functions, including a certain royalty agreement, is subject to income taxes to the extent that revenue exceeds related costs. For the years ended decemeber 31, 2013 and 2012, there was no federal or state income tax provision recorded as there was no significant unrelated business income. Management has evaluated the organization's tax positions and has concluded that the organization has taken no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.”
