For the purpose of income tax reporting, our National Division has advised our Division that according to the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor, your payroll check receipt is acceptable proof for tax deductions. In the interest of cost savings, our Division, through membership motion at the monthly Division meeting, has deemed this to be an acceptable practice in regards to dues receipts. The complete dues breakdown on a weekly and monthly basis can be found in the current Division Newsletter. Any questions or concerns, please contact me on my cell phone at 215-630-8050.

Fraternally
