Mennonite Family Faces IRS Over Tax Form Refusal
Jacob and Barbara Lapp of Assodaga New York risk their 375 acre dairy and produce farm by refusing to file tax and employee forms since 1990. They prioritize integrity over compliance, saying they would rather go to jail than fabricate information. The Lapps, once Amish linked, run a small, barter based operation with three generations involved and struggle with IRS record demands. The case heads to U S District Court in Buffalo after a 1995-1991-1995 book audit request.
