Joyce Meyer has indicated she'll comply, but others may not, and they are using the First Amendment for their defense.

NRB president and CEO Frank Wright wrote a letter this week to Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, who is leading the investigation, saying this issue is for the Internal Revenue Service, not Congress.
CBN News spoke with Wright about this case on Newswatch.
