The organization's compensation policy has not changed. Incentive compensation is accrued at year end based on the achievement of pre-established organizational goals, which include net earnings and other performance metrics. However, the compensation amount is determined as a fixed percentage of base salary and does not fluctuate based on the actual level of revenue or net earnings achieved. Under current IRS guidance, this compensation does not meet the definition of "contingent compensation" for purposes of Lines 5, and the revised response reflects accurate interpretation and compliance.
