Yolanda Adams in trouble with the IRS

Houston gospel singer surrenders files to IRS

Houston gospel singer Yolanda Adams has turned her financial records over to Internal Revenue Service investigators, prompting the government to withdraw its request for a judge to intervene.

Earlier this year, the IRS issued a summons that required Adams, 46, to bring paperwork for the last six years to Houston's IRS office and explain her financial affairs.

When she failed to show up for the February appointment, the agency asked a judge to force the Grammy-winning entertainer to cooperate.

It is likely that U.S. District Judge David Hittner will rescind his order for Adams to appear in court later this month.

Court filings last month revealed that the IRS section that oversees small businesses and the self-employed was investigating Adams.

The IRS requested details about a pair of million-dollar mortgage loan applications and sought more information about the singer's endorsements and royalties as well as music companies and foundations with which she is affiliated.

In a one-page request filed Wednesday, the IRS asked for its enforcement request to be dismissed.

The filing did not mention the status of the agency's probe or explain why the IRS is taking a closer look at Adams' finances.

Adams hosts the Houston-based Yolanda Adams Morning Show with Brother Larry Jones, which is heard weekdays in major markets nationwide.

15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Matt 22:15-22 (KJV)
