The IRS Will Recognize Your Gay Marriage Now

1. As states debate among themselves whether or not to recognize same-sex nuptials, the IRS made clear today they believe in equality. For the first time ever, all legally married same-sex couples, no matter where you live, will receive federal tax benefits from the IRS. And Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew couldn't be more pleased. "Today's ruling provides certainty and clear, coherent tax filing guidance for all legally married same-sex couples nationwide. It provides access to benefits, responsibilities and protections under federal tax law that all Americans deserve," he said. "This ruling also assures legally married same-sex couples that they can move freely throughout the country knowing that their federal filing status will not change."
