Are AIHA Dues Tax Deductible?
AIHA is a 501(c)(6) and as such, dues are not deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes, but may be partially deductible as a business expense. AIHA estimates that 3% of your dues are not deductible because of AIHA lobbying activities on behalf of its members.
The AIH
Foundation (AIHF) and the AIHA
Guideline Foundation are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. Contributions to either may be tax deductible.
Please consult your tax advisor.
