In Re Aaron Eriksson

Whether the Commissioner of Internal Revenue has a clear and indisputable ministerial duty, enforceable by writ of mandamus, to administer the federal tax laws in a manner that does not violate Petitioner’s rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment (and the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments) by conditioning the deductibility of charitable contributions and the tax-exempt status of churches upon mandatory disclosure and reporting re­ quirements that directly conflict with Petitioner’s sin­ cerely held religious belief and Christ’s command to give alms in secret (Matthew 6:1—4).
