The IRS Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax, is the annual federal information return filed by charitable organizations that are exempt from income tax. The amounts in these statements are presented in accordance with IRS regulations.

WETA engages in several activities that are unrelated to its charitable purpose, generally involving the sale of small amounts of excess capacity. WETA pays income tax on any earnings derived from these activities with Form 990-T, the Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return.

WETA operates on a July 1 - June 30 fiscal year. WETA's financial statements are audited annually by a certified public accounting firm. Financial statements include a Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Activities, and Statement of Cash Flows, and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements.

The FCC EEO Report lists all WETA full-time vacancies filled during the reporting period and the employment outreach initiatives implemented by the station to serve our communities. WETA’s EEO Reports are available through the FCC’s TV Station Profiles & Public Inspection Files portal.
