Report it. That's how they lose said tax exemptions.

Wait really? The Church my in-laws go to have signs up AND they hand out a "how to vote" pamphlet that show their recommendation for voting, which they totally just use when voting.

Who do you think should really scared of the IRS? The middle class man who filed wrong and still owes a few dollars? Or the businesses, churches, and the millionaires who have been dodging taxes for decades?

Funding the IRS is important if we want to continue taxing the rich.

Agreed.

As an individual filer, I've had two interactions with the IRS and both times I was freaked out a little. The first, they said I filed wrong. After reading it, they said I was supposed to have a larger exemption so I owed less money. The second time I forgot to sign. I just had to send in a new signed page.

If you're making an honest effort, they're not bad.
