WSMA dues include a $25 allocation that can be designated for the Washington Medical Political Action Committee (WAMPAC), WSMA's nonpartisan political action committee, or the WSMA Foundation for Health Care Improvement, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation which supports improvements in the quality and delivery of health care services for all Washingtonians. When paying your dues, please select WAMPAC or WSMA Foundation to indicate where you'd like your allocation directed. If you're prohibited from giving to a PAC or a 501(c)(3) for any reason, your allocation can go directly to the WSMA. Should you allocate $25 to the WSMA Foundation, it is 100% tax deductible.

NOTE: In most cases, a portion of the medical association dues may be deductible for tax purposes as professional or business expenses. The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 states that association dues used for lobbying activities are not deductible as a business expense. As a result, a portion of your WSMA dues cannot be deducted as a business expense for federal income tax purposes. See below for current non-deductible lobbying percentage rates. No portion of any dues paid to WAMPAC can be deducted as a business expense on your federal income tax return.

2025 non-deductible lobbying percentage rate is 10%.
2024 non-deductible lobbying percentage rate is 20%.
2023 non-deductible lobbying percentage rate is 15%.
2022 non-deductible lobbying percentage rate is 30%.
