DUES ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE

It has come to our attention that some members are not sure whether membership dues  are tax deductible.

This is to confirm that the IRS allows tax credit for dues that are paid to charity organizations if members get no personal benefit or anything of value for paying dues. SFAA members get no personal benefit from paying dues, and their dues are used for the established purpose of the organization.

For reference, see IRS Publication 526 (2016) Charitable Contributions at the following:
