I have heard of some Mormons having to provide the church with their tax paper work to show they tithed properly. This is done through the threat of excommunication. Not sure how prevalent it is.
Yeah, that’s my understanding as well. I had a friend in the 90s who was a proud ex-communicant of the Mormon church, and according to him that was the practice then as well. You gave them whatever they asked for (pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns, etc) and they calculated your tithe for you.
