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.

Not even a successful petition drive can tear asunder the Maryland high court's decision requiring the state to recognize as valid the marriages of same-sex couples who lawfully wed in other states. The Court of Appeals, in its landmark ruling Friday, said recognition is required by the legal doctrine of comity -- under which one state accepts the legal judgments of another -- because same-sex marriage is neither "repugnant" to the state's public policy nor expressly prohibited by state law. The court's ruling came as a Maryland state law permitting same-sex marriages is slated to go into effect Jan. 1. But that law, the Civil Marriage Protection Act, will likely be put before Maryland voters this fall, as opponents of the measure have mounted a petition drive to get the 55,736 signatu...

SALT LAKE CITY -- A Utah Supreme Court ruling issued Friday could open a door to recognition of gay marriage, polygamy and underage marriage in Utah, an attorney says. Denver Snuffer believes the ruling about a divorce decree will have wide-ranging and unintended implications for the concept of marriage. But his opponent, attorney Rosemond Blakelock, whose client won under the ruling, says such a belief is poppycock.
