Last week the Supreme Court made marriage equality legal for the whole country, a decision I applaud. If you are a regular reader of my blogs, you know that I am very tax adverse. This landmark decision has now made tax filing more complicated.
If you got married but do not live in a state that recognizes same sex couples, you can file a joint federal tax return. As for your State tax return, you must still continue to file two separate tax returns. Your accountant will be happy.
It is all about baby steps – tax reform does not come easily.
