| Part VII General | | Explanation:| In 2024 the organization entered into a split-dollar life insurance arrangement with a key employee. This arrangement is structured as a loan regime under Treasury Regulation 1.7872-15 wherein the organization provides a loan to the employee to fund a life insurance policy. The employee owns the policy and is responsible for repaying the loan including accrued interest in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Under IRS guidelines such split-dollar arrangements are considered supplemental nonqualified retirement plans and are reportable on Schedule J. However for the 2024 tax year no economic benefit or compensation has been recognized by the employee as there have been no distributions or insurance payouts. The organization will continue to assess and report any compensation implications in future tax years as applicable. |
