Tuition Information for Gospel
Assembly Christian Academy The document below is an invoice that was provided to Mr. & Mrs.
Robert Mason and lists the "monthly tuition charge" for their son
James. Lloyd L. Goodwin, from the school's inception, stated that the charge
was not tuition and that the monies provided to the school should be
claimed as a charitable donation on the parents' tax returns, so that the
parents could get more on their tax returns and give that money to the church
as well. Yet, Goodwin and Gospel Assembly set a specific amount that was to
be paid for each student attending the school. The offering envelope below
clearly indicates that any monies submitted through the "envelope
system" would be listed as tax-deductible. Parents paid their tuition
through the envelope system. Clearly, the Internal Revenue Service would be
fascinated to learn that tuition paid to private, parochial schools is
tax-deductible. Obviously, the Internal Revenue Service needs to update the
tax code. We hope this webpage will alert the IRS of the facts of this
situation. |
