As a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, AAHPM is not affected by the laws on dues non-deductibility. AAHPM’s expenses for lobbying activity do not meet the required threshold such that any portion of member dues would not be deductible. Of course, if you have further questions on this, we always advise that a member check with their own tax advisor.
