US Announce That All Legal Same-Sex Marriages Will Be Recognized For Federal Tax Purposes

VastmindVastmind Memphis, TN Veteran
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) today ruled that same-sex couples, legally married in jurisdictions that recognize their marriages, will be treated as married for federal tax purposes. The ruling applies regardless of whether the couple lives in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage or a jurisdiction that does not recognize same-sex marriage.

    Some couples will end up paying more! They'll say thank you federal government, damn you IRS!!!

    In all seriousness, it's about time. Common sense.
