These and other issues are part of an intense battle by the church's litigation machine to overturn what remains of a $30 million verdict won in 1986 by former church member Larry Wollersheim.

ADVANCED SCIENTOLOGY, a solitary study, should be deductible, they argued. The Scientology Church has long fought the IRS over charitable deduction of fees members pay to the sect. In 1989, the Supreme Court said fixed fees for so-called auditing were paid for services — and weren't deductible as disinterested gifts. Still, Brian G. and Margaret A. Szabo of Palo Alto. Calif., felt $10,854 of the $14,977 they paid the church in 1976 should be deductible above the $471 the IRS allowed. ...

Among its many adversaries, the Church of Scientology's longest-running feud has been with the Internal Revenue Service. So far, neither combatant has blinked. Over the past three decades, the IRS has revoked the tax-exempt status of various Scientology organizations, accusing them of operating in a commercial manner and of financially benefiting private individuals. From the late 1960s through mid-1970s, IRS agents classified Scientology as a "tax resister" and "subversive," a characterization later deemed improper by a judge. In 1984, the IRS's ...
