Membership dues may be deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense, but are not deductible as a charitable contribution. However, the Association does estimate that twelve percent (12%) of your basic dues are used for lobbying expenses as defined by Section 13222 of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993, and are therefore nondeductible as a business expense.
