On the originally filed return the value of a volunteer in-kind contribution was inadvertently reported as compensation. The individual in question did not receive wages salary or other taxable compensation from the organization. The amount reflected represented the estimated fair market value of services voluntarily provided to the organization and should have been treated as an in-kind contribution rather than compensation. Upon review the organization determined that this amount was misclassified. The amended return removes the in-kind volunteer services from the compensation section and properly reflects that no compensation was paid to the individual. This amendment does not affect the organizations total revenue expenses net assets or overall financial position. The correction is solely related to the classification of volunteer in-kind services.
