- Filing status of unmarried taxpayers living as a couple.
The marital penalty, the tax disadvantage of filing as a married couple, provides an incentive for couples to consider the tax implications of joint filing. Under IRC section 7703, marital status is assessed as of the last day of the tax year, and state law controls on whether a marriage is valid for tax purposes. When local law allows common-law or same-sex marriage, taxpayers will not lose married status for tax purposes if the taxpayers move to another state that does not recognize such marriages. Adoption of a partner or claiming a partner as a dependent are also alternatives.
