On May 5, 2010 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approved the National Association of Legal Fee Analysis (NALFA) as a 501(c)(6) federal tax-exempt organization. According to the IRS, NALFA meets all the qualifications of a 501(c)(6) business league under the Internal Revenue Code.
A business league, under the Internal Revenue Code, is organized around a common business interest, which the organization typically promotes. Business leagues also seek to improve a line of business in a particular field. NALFA meets all these provisions.
As a 501(c)(6) organization, NALFA is exempt from federal income taxes. More importantly, as a result of NALFA’s 501(c)(6) federal tax-exempt status, membership dues and contributions to our CLE programs may be tax deductible as a business expense.
