Lawmakers got a deal on rent, pastors charge

A group of Columbus pastors is asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate whether certain members of Congress owe taxes and penalties on cut-rate rent from a Washington boarding house that has a tax exemption as a church.

If the members did pay below-market rental rates to the C Street Center and did not report it as income, "then the members may have significant unreported income-tax liabilities," the pastors say in a complaint filed yesterday with the IRS.
