All fees and dues are nonrefundable. Dues payments to the Association may be deducted as an ordinary and necessary business expense to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. We are required by Section 6033(e) of the Internal Revenue Code to inform you that 2% of the current dues payment is not deductible because it is attributable to lobbying activities. Dues include $60 for a subscription to The Record and $25 for the Forty-Fourth Street Notes.
