Membership Dues

How does auto-renew work?

With our auto-renew system, we'll charge your credit card to renew your CTCPA membership annually in June. We'll remind you about the upcoming payment via email. You can opt out at any time via your personal dashboard on the CTCPA website or by contacting the membership team at membership@ctcpas.org or by calling 860-258-4800 and press 2.

We reserve the right to terminate membership for the non-payment of membership dues. You are responsible for updating your payment information in the event your card is declined or expired; you will be notified via email, but you can update your information at any time at Manage Saved Cards - Connecticut Society of CPAs or by contacting the membership team: membership@ctcpas.org or 860-258-4800, press 2.

What are the billing classes and dues amounts?

Billing classes are based upon your status on March 31 of the dues year. If your circumstances have changed, please dial 860-258-4800 and press 2 for the membership department or email membership@ctcpas.org.

If you have any questions, please dial 860-258-4800 and press 2 for the membership department or email membership@ctcpas.org.

Are membership dues deductible?

For 2024-2025, 97% of dues payments are deductible for most members as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Contributions to the scholarship fund are tax deductible.
