I’m not totally sure of your situation. I think your tithes and offering should go to the church you call home... above and beyond offering that you feel to give to the other church...

Ok, gross or net?

Very interesting question.

If you are employed, your "gross" doesn't include the payroll tax, and the company contribution to the healthcare premium, which both could total thousands. I don't know of anybody that takes that into account for their tithe.

What if I'm an independent contractor and I have to pay my own health insurance entirely and my payroll tax? What would be my "gross"? Would I be paying more tithe even though may effective "increase" is equivalent to that of an employee?

So to be fair to the independent contractor, you should include your payroll tax and the company health premium contribution to your "gross". Your company may be paying $1000 to your family health premium, and another $500 a month in payroll taxes. So you may owe $150 more a month in tithing. And please, since the tithing doctrine is quoted from the law (Mal 3:8, right?), don't forget to apply the rest of the law for delayed tithes.

The ENTIRE tithe doctrine taught by the modern Christian church is gross!

But, that’s a whole different thread.

Isn't everyone back in their church buildings?

Don't they want to reopen their church buildings so their armed guards have some work?

I would say so.
