I was just sifting my way through BARF (never thought I'd say that in a sentence--at last not since my college partying days) and was analyzing the charitable contribution "exception" to means-teset violations. I seem to recall that such contributions were limited to 15% of the debtor's gross income, but I cannot find that anywhere in the Code, currently or in BARF. Was this in the Internal Revenue Code or something? Anyone know where (or if) that came from and if it still applies? Seems to me that under BARF a debtor could theoretically give all his income to his church and not be subject to failing the means test.

Never mind...I found it myself. It was 548(a)(2).
