Online Dues Payment Now Available

Once again, TSCPA is offering a fast and easy way for you to renew your membership: online dues payments.

Paying your dues through the TSCPA Web site is a convenient, secure way to continue your society membership. While online, you will receive immediate confirmation of your dues payment and have the opportunity to print a copy for your files. Firm administrators will have the opportunity to pay dues for multiple members within their firm online as well.

To access your account online, you will need your member ID number. This number can be found on the mailing label of your copy of the Tennessee CPA Journal (all member IDs are made up of numerals only and not the letter in front).

TSCPA dues are due on April 30 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. However, dues for this period are not considered delinquent until May 31. In an attempt to save postage and mailing expense, TSCPA provides the online payment option to members through the month of April. A paper invoice will be mailed to members who have not remitted dues by April 30.
