Are my annual dues as a member of my local Kiwanis club deductible?

[stanleywillbanks]

I receive no tangible benefit for dues paid to my local Kiwanis Club and they are used exclusively by the club for charitable projects.

As a Kiwanian,   I know that the annual Dues are paid into an administrative account to pay the annual fees per member and cover other administrative costs.

Only if your club has is a 501(c)(3) and has a separate account for the community activities can the contributions to that account be considered a donation to a charity and you should get a receipt for that donation.
