The
national organization of AAUW is primarily a tax-exempt organization under IRC
501(c)(3). A small part of the
organization is a social welfare organization that engages in lobbying. Therefore, your total Association dues
payment of $49 is allocated between the two entities, with $46 tax deductible
and $3 not eligible for tax deductible.
Example:
On May 15, 2009, you pay your total dues of $78 for the AAUW fiscal year
of July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. Of
your total payment, $46 is tax deductible for federal income tax purposes as a
contribution allocated to the charitable entity of the national AAUW
organization. You are a calendar year
tax filer. Therefore, you may include
$46 among your charitable tax deductions for calendar year 2009.
Your
cancelled check is your receipt. Some
members may decide to pay the tax deductible portion of $46 in a separate
check. Others will be comfortable
keeping this information sheet in their personal tax files for a record of how
much of the total dues check is tax deductible.
Below
is a breakdown of your total dues payment.
Your state dues ($10), branch dues ($19), networking fee ($2, if
applicable) and the remainder of your AAUW dues ($3) are not tax
deductible as charitable contributions.
In some limited situations, the remainder of your dues may be deductible
as an ordinary and necessary business expenses if you are employed. If you think this may apply to you, please consult your tax adviser.
