Deductions & credits

I updated my answer to read, However, you can deduct only the amount that is more than the value of the benefits you receive. For additional information, see 2016 Publication 526 - IRS.gov, page 4. Publication 526 has not been updated for tax year 2017.

You can't deduct dues, fees, or assessments paid to country clubs and other social organizations. They aren't qualified organizations.
