In 1993, the U.S. Congress enacted the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act that contained provisions affecting trade associations. The Act provided that taxpayers will no longer be able to deduct from their federal income taxes any portion of the association dues attributable to that association's "lobbying activities" as an ordinary and necessary cost of doing business.
For 2016, NAHB estimates that the non-deductible portion of national dues - the portion that is applicable to lobbying is 15%. Thus, for a member who pays their NAHB dues of $182 in 2016, 15% or $27.30 will not be eligible for deduction as a business expense.
For 2016, TAB estimates that the non-deductible portion of national dues - the portion that is applicable to lobbying, is 72%. With dues of $120, the amount not deductible as a business expense will be $86.40. For an affiliate member who pays their TAB dues of $27.00, in 2016 72% or $19.44 of their dues is not deductible as a business expense.
Therefore, the total amount of 2016 state and national dues for a member that is not deductible as a business expense is $113.70, and for an affiliate member the amount is $19.44.
