Yes, your husband's union dues will show up as income.
By example:
If you are a regular union employee:
- You earn $30,000 a year.
- You pay $1,000 in union dues.
- You can't deduct the dues.
- Net income is $29,000.
Your husband is the union steward.
- He Ears $30,000 a year.
- $1,000 of Union dues is paid for him.
- Gross income is $31,000.
- He didn't actually get $1,000 in cash.
- Net income is the same, $30,000
He is still ahead by the $1,000.
He will have to pay tax on the $1,000, but so do you.
He will still come out ahead.
