According to this article, the NRA has filed a return with the IRS admitting that Wayne LaPierre was compensated improperly between 2015 and 2019, and claiming that it's now all good because WLP has repaid $300,000. The NRA also says that they are investigating other senior people who may have received improper compensation.
To me, this all sounds like the NRA is still covering for Wayne LaPierre, and that the organization is going to throw other people under the bus to protect WLP. It's extremely difficult to believe that the board of directors would allow this charade to continue.

Three tax and accounting experts who reviewed the 2019 tax return for The Post said the disclosures show the organization and LaPierre trying to take responsibility and avoid further legal jeopardy.
“This is the type of cleanup I would expect to see after a history of gross violations of nonprofit law,” said Philip Hackney, an associate professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh who worked at the IRS for five years until 2011 providing legal oversight of tax-exempt organizations.
LaPierre personally signed the 2019 tax return; such a document is customarily signed by the organization’s treasurer. “He is putting himself on the line, under penalties of perjury, which is what you do if you are trying to get in someone’s good graces,” Hackney said.
