I've gotten my answer from local ward members, lds.net members and the Spirit. Basicly the consensus it that 10% of your INCREASE is what is to be tithed. My tithing and fast offerings should be paid in full, for 2009, by February of 2009. I like to pay in advance. I've heard wonderful testmonies regarding tithing. It really does work. Out of all this there is only one downside. I have not had to file in taxes since the 1999 working year. My money towards the church wil never be counted or used as a deductable. The eternal blessings are more important. Thanks for your input.
