The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 eliminated the individual income tax deduction for lobbying expenses paid or incurred as a part of membership dues on or after December 31, 1993. This change affects only those members who itemize deductions and meet the 2% requirement for additional miscellaneous deductions. For 2016-2017 those members will not be able to deduct as union dues the 15% of WEA dues attributable to lobbying. This is a total of $76.65. This amount is effective for income tax year 2017, i.e. your tax return due April 15, 2018.
