Read what I wrote, buz! "seems to have...."
I fully realize that he hasn't been convicted of anything. I'll wait and see.
I did read what you said. You figured he was likely in enough trouble that his lecturing would cease and you said he seems to have forgotten a million plus income. Gross receipts are a far cry from gross income and gross income is usually over double net income. Gross receipts include cost of goods sold, etc. Check again. I believe the link alluded to gross receipts, not gross income or net income. Some businesses have huge gross receipts and end up with a net loss.
I understand that gross isn't the same as net, too - but I would imagine that you actually file a return each year, don't you, buz? A church is tax-exempt, but the minister isn't - my dad filed a return each and every year. That's the law in this country.

I repeat.........Kent Hovind maintains that the tax laws are not Constitutional and all I can say is that he states this openly in public and is hiding nothing. He's been doing this for years and still charged with no crimes. I understand that these people who operate this way do so lawfully, though the feds don't like it and are doing everything they can think of to find a valid charge to arrest them. I understand also that you better be pretty smart on your tax laws and your legal rights or
don't try this at home.
Sole proprietors such as myself file yearly. I've filed every year for over 50 years and do my own books and accounting.
