TAX INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS

OHBA has determined 34.8 percent of the $100 dues per year goes toward direct lobbying.  If you have further questions concerning this, you should contact your tax counsel.

Payment of dues, or other contributions, to the OHBA are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes.  They may, however, be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses to the extent not allocated toward lobbying expenditures.

For NAHB, they estimate that the non-deductible portion of national dues – the portion that is applicable to lobbying is 18 percent.
