how to report non-profit memberships

Jan 27, 2012 21 Replies

How does that work when a membership covers multiple people?

For example, say an individual membership was $70 while a "dual" membership was $120.

If spouses each bought a $75 individual membership they wouldn't have to make any reduction, but if they bought a single $120 membership that covered both of them, they would?

This is a really arbitrary number. How is it justified by the statute? I think the section is IRC 170. I noticed the following strange line in there

BEGIN QUOTE

(E) Regulations The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this paragraph, including regulations that may provide that some or all of the requirements of this paragraph do not apply in appropriate cases.

END QUOTE

Ie, looks like they're saying the regulations can violate the statute if appropriate?
