Yeah, that's the thing about the internet, one can believe all sorts of things. That doesn't make it true.
It's an honor system. To records are checked. You are given a printout at the end of the year of all your donations, both tithes and offerings. (most offerings consist of giving to the poor, in a separate fund from tithing). You are then asked if you have paid a full tithe. Yes or no. That's it.

That’s a lot more accountability than any churches I have ever known.
I didn’t hear about pay stubs on the internet, but from ex-Mormons. But that was many years ago. I may have remembered somewhat skewed or been misinformed. That’s why I stated up front that I was open to correction if anyone knew any better.
Yes they ask if you have paid up your tithe or not...so it would appear LDS requires how much you give in order to determine if you’ve paid. With this comes records, as you stated. But then if they do not pay up is it not true they loose the privildge of attending worship in the Temple?..as well as other possible penalities.
