Tax Deductibility Information
2018/2019 Membership Purchases:
For tax deductibility, the IRS allows the member and the organization to disregard certain membership benefits that the member receives in return for an annual payment of $75 or less to a qualified organization. These disregarded benefits include rights or privileges that the member can use frequently while they are a member such as free or discounted admission. For annual payments over $75, the member may deduct as a charitable contribution only the excess of the membership payment over the estimated fair market value of the goods or services received above the benefits included in the basic membership. The estimated non-deductible amount per year for tax purposes for each membership level is: Individual Plus $23, Individual Unlimited $51, Family Basic $7, Family Plus $47, Family Unlimited $106, and Sustaining Unlimited $135. Please consult your tax adviser for additional information regarding tax deductibility.
Fees and benefits are subject to change.
