These regulations make the revisions that must be made to the regulations under section 6033 and section 6043 of the Code to implement the Form 990 redesign. For example, the regulation that currently gives organizations a choice of using either the calendar year or the organizationÂs annual accounting period as the basis for reporting compensation of officers, directors, trustees and certain employees and contractors is revised to require calendar year reporting. Revisions are also made to allow for new threshold amounts for reporting compensation and to expand the scope of organizations subject to information reporting requirements upon a substantial contraction.
