NOTE ABOUT TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF MEMBER DUES
Dues paid to ABA are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. However, ABA membership dues may be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses, but the deductibility is subject to restrictions imposed as a result of association lobbying activities. Through the activities of ABA advocacy staff, as well as through ABA’s financial support of certain organizations such as Media Coalition, ABA engages in lobbying activities annually. In years past, ABA has notified members that some small sliver of dues has not been tax-deductible as a result of our lobbying activities, and from time to time, we must change this level of deductibility. For the 2019 tax year, ABA estimates that the non-deductible portion of dues — i.e. the portion allocable to lobbying — will be 5.2%.
