Form And Line ReferenceDISCLOSURE Related to 2013 and 2014 FORMs 990FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationAfter filing the Forms 990 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 the Missouri Historical Society discovered that certain information related to the compensation of the President and the Managing Director of Administration and Operations was not reported properly. Related to the 2013 Form 990, the compensation of the Managing Director of Administration and Operations was reported as $178,509 when the amount in Box 5 of her W-2 for 2013 was $173,496 resulting in the compensation being over reported by $5,013. During 2014 the Missouri Historical Society reimbursed the newly hired President for certain expenses related to her move to St. Louis. Some of these amounts, totaling $9,622, were inadvertently not included as wages on her 2014 W-2. Upon discovering this situation, the Missouri Historical Society filed an amended Form W-2 with the IRS correcting this situation. In addition, the amount contributed by the Missouri Historical Society to the President's Section 457(b) plan were reported in both the base compensation and retirement compensation columns, resulting in an overstatement of the President's compensation in the amount of $8,272. If the correct W-2 for 2014 had been available when the 2014 return was prepared and the contribution to the 457(b) plan had been properly reflected, the total compensation reported for the President in the 2014 Form 990 would have been $1,350 higher. In Schedule J to the 2014 Form 990, contributions made by the Missouri Historical Society to the 401(a) plan on behalf of the Managing Director of Administration and Operations was included in the non-taxable benefits column rather that the retirement and other deferred compensation column. The total compensation of the Managing Director of Administration and Operations was reported correctly.ExplanationTxt
