Membership Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is my membership tax deductible?

USJETAA is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, EIN 47-4042132. Donations and memberships are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

No goods or services of substantial return value were provided in exchange for your membership and all membership levels receive the same benefits as the free Basic membership level. USJETAA membership dues and donations may be tax deductible and may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. IRS revenue ruling 68-432 states that memberships substantially exceeding the value of any benefits or privileges offered are deductible as a charitable contribution.

Under Internal Revenue Service guidelines the estimated value of the benefits received is not substantial; therefore the full amount of your payment should be a deductible contribution. Under this ruling, if there are several classes of memberships available, and each class of membership receives the same benefits, the additional cost of the more expensive membership should qualify as a charitable contribution.

The information provided above is for your convenience only and should not replace the advice of your tax professional. USJETAA does not provide formal tax advice for individuals regarding their personal tax situation. A knowledgeable tax attorney or accountant should be able to further advise regarding the deductibility of fees, dues, or contributions, particularly for the donor’s own tax reporting requirements.

2. Can my membership contribution be matched by my company?

Many employers also provide corporate matching programs for donations to your favorite nonprofits; membership dollars also can be matched via these programs. Does your company match donations? Find out here!

3. Do I get a donation receipt for memberships?

If you become a member via the USJETAA website/member portal, you will receive a donation receipt via email once your membership dues have been processed.

4. How are memberships processed?

5. Why can’t I change my membership level?

If you are a Bronze or Silver member the payment default is annually recurring payments. If you payments are recurring you will need to first stop recurring payments from your Wild Apricot member profile page and then you can change your level. To stop recurring payments, click the “Invoices and Payments” tab in your profile then click “stop recurring payments” link beside the membership renewal transaction. You will be asked to confirm the request. One that is complete, you may change to another membership level.
