I would imagine the majority of people tithing do not exceed their standard deduction and therefore don't include their donations on their tax return anyway.

I would imagine that the majority of financial support though comes from a minority, which probably make enough to exceed their standard deduction even without tithing (especially for the "country club" type churches). $12400 is not difficult hit exceed for a married couple with state and local income or sales taxes, property taxes, mortgage interest, student loan interest?, medical and dental expenses, and charitable contributions. Also, if churches have to pay property taxes I think many will ditch the building.
