| Is Church Tithing Allowed in Bankruptcy? |
The Bankruptcy Code does allow the debtors to claim an expense for charitable contributions, including tithing to a religious organization. This has the possible effect of allowing a debtor to qualify more easily for Chapter 7 under the means test, and will allow the debtor to pay less money in his or her Chapter 13.
Section 707(b)(2) of the bankruptcy code states that no one can object to the debtor having made or continuing to make tithing contributions to a church.
