AICPA Tax Membership Section

For CPAs with tax practices who want the tools, technologies and peer interaction that lead to enhanced service delivery.

Why join the Tax Section?

Over 23,000 CPAs have already joined the AICPA's popular Tax Section, taking advantage of the significant added value their membership provides, for a modest additional membership fee. The Section keeps members up-to-date on tax legislative and regulatory developments. Membership is open to all AICPA members and qualifying non-CPAs.

"The benefits of being a member of the AICPA's Tax Section bring an exponential return on my small annual investment.  I receive current tax information updates through the Tax E-Alerts, the monthly publication The Tax Adviser for a small additional fee, exclusive information on the AICPA Tax Center Website, and numerous other discounts and benefits.  Without hesitation, I recommend membership to all tax practitioners who are AICPA members."

What are the specific benefits of Tax Section membership?

As a Tax Section member, you will have access to targeted publications that keep you informed with concise reports, a $30 subscription to the popular The Tax Adviser magazine at a savings of $55 off the regular price for AICPA members, and extensive networking opportunities. By attending the Tax Section's semi-annual meetings, you will have the opportunity to discuss a broad range of current tax issues, policies and problems with tax leaders in the profession and in government. You will also receive discounts on annual tax references and select AICPA publications.

Which publications will I receive?

  • Tax Practice Guides and Checklists - more than 600 pages of checklists and tax guides to help you prepare and review tax forms, as well as write model engagement and transmittal letters. This $135 publication is FREE to Tax Section members.
  • Topical Tax Practice Guides - focuses on all the key issues that affect you, your clients and their businesses.

  • The Tax Section E-Alert - packed with information on technical and professional developments, tax news and information on our lobbying efforts with the government.

  • The Tax Adviser - a subscription to this immensely popular magazine for only $30 a year ($55 discount off the regular AICPA member rate).

What else does Tax Section Membership offer?

  • As a Tax Section member, you will have the ability to access premium content in the Tax Center at www.aicpa.org/tax.

  • Ten technical resource panels cover such areas as individuals, S Corporations, C corporations, partnerships and estate and gift taxes.

  • Our four committees include an executive committee and committees on tax practice improvement (technology, management and ethics), tax legislation and policy and relations with the IRS. You will be able to access agendas, minutes, comments on proposed legislation and regulations and other information on topics that are of interest to you. This access to the important tax developments of the profession will enhance your practice ability and could help you become more involved with the committees, potentially as a virtual or voting member.

The Tax Section makes you a part of a large group of your peers, allowing you to share concerns, information and business strategies with one another. The advantages of membership in this section are exceptional - providing a value far beyond the $145 membership fee.

"As a tax professional managing a tax practice in Wyoming I use my Tax Division membership as a key part of our firm's quality control effort.  It also allows me access and input to the events happening in Washington, D.C. that will affect my firm's clients.  It's the best value I know of." --Mr. T. Chris Muirhead at Porter, Muirhead, Cornia & Howard
