January Market Statistics
For Your Taxes: Nondeductible Dues
The Tax Reform Act of 1993, as amended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, made the portion of dues paid to organizations spent to lobby State and Federal governments nondeductible for income taxes, and requires that it be disclosed to members.

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) computes 34% or $51.00 (of the $150.00 per member) to be nondeductible for the member’s income tax due to NAR’s lobbying efforts on behalf of its members. Note that the entire $45.00 Consumer Advertising Campaign special assessment qualifies as fully deductible. In addition, contributions (including member dues) to NAR are not tax deductible as charitable contributions. However, they may be tax deductible under other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

Kentucky REALTORS® (KYR) computes 7.93% or $11.50 (of the $145.00 per member) to be nondeductible for the member’s income tax due to KYR’s lobbying efforts on behalf of its members.

The Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS® (GLAR) computes 8.29% or $14.68 (of the $177.00 per member) to be nondeductible for the member’s income tax due to GLAR’s lobbying efforts on behalf of its members. Note that the entire $275.00 for MSI dues and $480 for CIE dues are fully deductible.
