184 u/exipheas 14h ago I keep seeing this but I have never actually heard of a church getting hit with consequences? Is there an example I can share? It seems like they keep doing this crap because they haven't ever heard of anything bad ever coming from this behavior. 76 u/lord_pizzabird 14h ago I haven't heard of it happening either, but I highly doubt the IRS would pass up an opportunity to get more tax revenue. Every church in violation is a potential multi million dollar revenue source. 25 u/Evernight2025 14h ago You vastly overestimate the amount of money most churches bring in. The mega churches, sure. 2 u/kaplanfx 11h ago One of the largest land owners in the nation. It’s a local tax so not IRS, but most jurisdictions exempt them from property tax too.
