are contributions to political action committees tax deductible

Contributions to political action committees or advocacy organizations aren't tax deductions either. Nor is money given to 527 groups that seek to influence the outcome of an election; in fact, the 527 refers to the section of the tax code that governs such groups and indicates they aren't charitable organizations.
