The federal income tax system treats married couples as if each spouse earned approximately one-half of the couple's combined income through a mechanism called "income splitting." For many one-earner and unequal-earner couples, income splitting produces a significant advantage, a "marriage bonus," by shifting income from higher to lower rate brackets.

Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn's idea to amend the Illinois Constitution will make it on only about half of the election ballots next week, even though it is only asking if a change in the Constitution is needed. County boards throughout the state were asked to approve putting an advisory question on Tuesday's ballot asking people if the state should create an "Irrevocable Education Trust Fund" by doubling the income tax on families reporting income of more than $250,000 a year and splitting the additional income to increase educational funding and provide property tax relief for homeowners.
