Based on that, I highly doubt your bishop would be too suspicious. I'm sure he has a wide range of income levels in the ward.

Tex is sweating bullets right now.

No.

Positve on this one? I was under the impression they did. My FIL pays his tithing in kind and he says the Church sends back a summary for the ward records, anyway, so he doesnt know why he bothers doing it.

Absolutely positive. The church sends a summary to him, not to the ward. It's the same reason why, when you move, you have to contact your former ward's clerks to get your tithing statement for donations made in that ward.

One clarification: if you make a Fast Offering donation to SLC and you want it to go to the ward, you specify that in your donation and they send the money back, but not with your name. The funds appear in the ward's FO budget, but with no donor name attached.

I've spoken with Church HQ more than once on the topic. Call them yourself if you doubt me.

Why would you do it that way?

Because of this.

OK. What is your real name so I can verify that they talked to you? Or do you talk to them under the moniker of "Tex?" Do I just ask for someone who has spoken with Tex?

Henry Eyring. Just ask for the guy that spoke with Henry Eyring.

Wow, this seems to describe Tex perfectly. Scary. But also educational on a go-forward basis.
