“The executive director is charged with the timely and accurate preparation and filing of the annual form 990. An independent cpa firm prepares a draft of the form 990. The management company reviews the form 990. The executive director reviews and signs the final form 990, which is then filed. A copy of the form 990 that was filed is provided to the board of directors at the board meeting subsequent to the filing of the form 990.”

“At the annual meeting of the board members, all are asked to review and sign a new policy statement and advise the board if any conflicts exist.”

“Housing and community services, inc. (hcs), a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, maintains control of the organization by its power to appoint the majority of the members of the board. The executive director of hcs also serves as the uncompensated executive director (ed) of the organization. The hcs board of directors establishes a compensation committee annually to review compensation for the ed. None of the ed compensation is paid by the organization. Wedge management, inc. (wmi) is a related taxable corporation that provides property management and accounting services to the organization. The ed of the organization is also the ceo of wmi. Together hcs, wmi, and three other hcs associates pay the compensation and benefits (c&b) for the ed.”

“Officers and directors' compensation reported in column e was the compensation paid to the top officials of the related management agent required to be reported as if the organization had directly paid the compensation, although it had not. Officers and directors' other compensation reported in column f was the benefits compensation paid to the top officials of the related management agent. A portion of the other compensation was paid by the organization {see schedule j). Another portion was paid by related organizations and was required to be reported as if the organization had directly paid the compensation, although it had not.”

“The organization had no employees during the period and does not expect to pay wages in the future. The organization was not required to file a form w-3, because it leased all operating personnel from a professional employment organization (peo). The organization reported employee leasing costs in form 990, part ix, lines 5 and 7 to 10, as applicable, as if the leased employees were directly paid employees of the organization.”
