Return Reference Explanation
Schedule C, Part III-B Lobbying Activities To stay on top of federal issues that affect dentistry and the public's oral health, the ADA maintains a staff of legislative and policy experts close to Capitol Hill. Proximity, experience and representation of the vast majority of dentists make the ADA uniquely effective in lobbying for the dental profession. Many other critical issues are decided by legislators and regulators at the state level. Although the ADA does not lobby at the state level, we do provide expertise and resources to help state dental societies create and effectively pursue their own policy agendas. At both the federal and state levels of government, we constantly monitor legislation and, when appropriate, engage in the debate, fighting for laws and regulations that matter to dentists and the patients they serve.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds The ADA's related organization, the American Dental Association Foundation, has endowment funds that support access to care and educational activities as well as charitable financial assistance. Net Assets related to the Foundation endowments are donor restricted funds, classified and reported based upon the donor-imposed restrictions or per court order.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote Deferred taxes are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are based upon enacted tax rates, which would apply during the period which taxes become payable or recoverable, and the adjustment of cumulative deferred taxes for any changes in the tax rate. The Association accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under ASC Topic 740, the Association must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2018, there was no liability related to uncertain tax positions for federal and state income taxes.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part V, Line 15 Section 4960 Tax Explanation Section 4960, Excise Tax on Excess Compensation, was enacted effective January 1, 2018 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As such, excess remuneration over $1M is subject to the Section 4960 Tax. The ADA paid over $1M in remuneration to former employee Dr. James W Graham in 2018, and is thus subject to the excise tax. Dr. Graham does not appear on the ADA Form 990 Part VII or Schedule J as he does not meet the requirements to be reportable as a former employee. To be considered reportable as a former employee on the Form 990, an individual must have been reportable on any of the prior five year's tax returns as a current officer, director, trustee, key employee, or highest compensated individual, which Dr. Graham was not. Dr. Graham's 2018 remuneration represents the payout of compensation that was originally deferred pursuant to pre-1986 income tax laws. As such it is treated as W-2 income for Dr. Graham and under Section 4960, ADA is subject to the excise tax on excess compensation over $1M.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b PROCESS TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES The Executive Director determines and reviews the compensation of Key Employees on an annual basis. Employees' salaries are made available to the Board of Trustees for examination upon request and any deliberations or decisions based on the review is documented in the board minutes. The Human Resources Department reviews comparability data on annual salary increases every 3 to 5 years and monitors a comprehensive compensation program.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documents The ADA Bylaws were reduced in size; however, the removal of the specified provisions from the bylaws did not remove those items from the ADA's governance structure. These items were simply moved out of the bylaws and into separate governance "manuals." These governance manuals were then referenced by the bylaws as the procedures to be followed by the ADA.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 6 Classes of members or stockholders All ADA members have the right to vote and elect representatives to the ADA House of Delegates ("HOD") through their local and/or state dental association in a national tripartite governance structure. The United States and its territories are divided into 17 districts. Each district elects a trustee to the board who serves a 5 year term. The ADA HOD is the primary legislative body of the ADA which meets annually and elects the officers of the Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing body The nature of the voting rights of members is described above fro Part VI, LIne 6. Elections are held on an annual basis for each level of governance.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 7b Decisions requiring approval by members or stockholders The "House of Delegates" is separate from the governing Board of Directors and must approve both the budget and any changes to the organization's BYlaws.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 8b Documentation of meetings held by committees of governing body There is no committee with broad authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body The Form 990 was reviewed by management prior to filing, Financial Information was compared to the organization's books and records. Responses to questions and additional information was reviewed for appropriateness. Additionally, the Form 990 was provided to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees as well as all members of the Board of Trustees prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy There is an annual review of the conflict of interest policy. Board members and employees at the director level and above are required to sign the conflict of interest disclosure from each year. In-house legal counsel collects and reviews responses and determines necessary action if any. Individuals who have a disclosed conflict recuse themselves from discussion, and do not vote if there is a direct conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees determines and reviews the compensation of the Executive Director, Officers and Members of the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. All employees' salaries are made available to the Board of Trustees upon request for examination and any deliberations or decisions based on the review is documented in the board minutes. The Human Resources Department obtains comparability data on annual salary increases every 3 to 5 years and monitors a comprehensive compensation program.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public The American Dental Association makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy or financial statements available upon request.
Form 990, Part VIII, Line 5 Royalties ADA entered into a journal publishing agreement to publish, promote, and distribute The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). The amount that the Publisher pays to ADA is primarily related to advertising revenue from the publication.
