FAQs: Sources of Compensation
1. I was paid exactly $5,000 for teaching one class at a local community college. I have not taught any other classes or received any other payments. Do I have to list the college in Part 4?
You do not have to report the college in Part 4 because your compensation did not exceed $5,000.
However, you would report your position in Part 1. You also may need to report this income in Part 2 if you received the income during the Part 2 reporting period.
2. I am paid $3,000 per year for my services as board director for Allied Business Computing, Inc. I receive no other compensation from the company. Do I report the company in Part 4?
No. Even though you may have received more than $5,000 across the entire reporting period, you do not have to report this source in Part 4 because you received only $3,000 per year, which is less than the threshold of more than $5,000 in any one calendar year.
However, you would report your position in Part 1. You also may need to report this income in Part 2 if you received the income during the Part 2 reporting period.
3. I provided consulting services to the United States Government. Do I report the United States in Part 4?
No.
4. Do I report my sources of honoraria in Part 4?
