WASHINGTON D.C. - Saying that it will violate the Federal Law known as the "Defense of Marriage Act" (or DOMA), the Internal Revenue Service is declining recognition of same sex marriages on all federal income tax issues.
In a letter released yesterday the IRS confirmed that due to the law signed in 1996 by President Bill Clinton which states that "no state shall be forced to recognize" any union other than a man and a woman, they would not be able to allow same-sex unions to recieved "married" status on their returns or in the eyes of the federal department.
They even went as far as to say that even if a state recognizes such unions - that "recognition serves no effect for purposes under federal law".
