The financial records are being sought by the committee's ranking member, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa. Grassley last month requested that Dollar and five other televangelists provide him detailed reports on how they spend billions of dollars in church donations.
Dollar and his World Changers Church have refused to comply, and said he's hired a lawyer, CNN reported Friday.
"If he sticks to his guns," Grassley said, "this will be the first non-profit that I know of that hasn't cooperated with us over the last five or six years."
Dollar, who lives in a $2.5 million mansion in Georgia and drives a church-bought Rolls Royce, has said the church owns some of his luxury items and he paid for the rest, CNN reported.
In addition to Dollar, Grassley targeted faith healer Benny Hinn and televangelist and author Joyce Meyer; Randy and Paula White of Without Walls International Church in Tampa, Fla.; Kenneth and Gloria Copeland of Kenneth Copeland Ministries, in Newark, Texas; and Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Georgia.
