The Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, Inc. is a tax-exempt 501(c)(6) organization that engages in lobbying activities and, therefore, is required to notify its members about the percentage of dues that are used for lobbying activities. For income-tax purposes the portion of your Massachusetts dues applicable to lobbying activities is not allowed as a deduction as ordinary and necessary business expenses. For the year 2024, 27.93% of your chapter dues (private attorneys $265 or $74.01) are allocable to lobbying activities, and are not deductible.
