100% tithe receiving pastors and the IRS - DANGEROUS
From what I have studied and know a little about tax law, pastors who believe that they should receive ALL the tithes from their churches are in a dangerous situation. If they indeed, receive ALL of the tithes, no matter how much or how little it was or what it was spent on, they are liable for the taxes due on the entire amount.

If those who believe they should receive all the tithes want to be consistent, honest and forthright, they should file their taxes with the entire amount as income. Failure to do so will be considered tax evasion and fraud.

So, feeling lucky today...punk?

How much of a chance are you willing to take?

BTW, to keep some of you out of jail, this poll is private!

If you can't get an "amen" ... get an "ouch".

What are they supposed to pay tax on otherwise (if the scenario is different from what you stated in the opening post)?

I don't know anything about preacher taxes.
