Tax Deductible Portion of TMS Membership Dues
The amount of dues deductible for tax purposes is limited to the excess of the amount contributed over the value of goods and services provided. In general, Individual Membership dues are no longer deductible. However, if you would like to deduct a portion of your dues because you did not receive a benefit, we will leave that to you to determine the amount.
