I think gay marriage is just about the silliest thing I’ve ever hard.
wondering though, if it’s left up to the states, how will that affect federal tax laws?
will the feds recognize those people in states that allow gay “marriage” to get the tax benefits if there are any. don’t know I’m not married, just nosy :)
Great point—another reason to view tax reform as the solution to many potential problems.
gay “marriage” to get the tax benefits...”
Interesting questions you raise. Wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of people think that you must save money by filing jointly. Not always true.
But it’s not only tax benefits - we’ve seen a lot of patients come through lately who are covered under someone else’s insurance plan. We always ask what their relationship to the insured is and they generally state “partner”. Separating insurance from the employer and letting each person get their own portable policy would seem to solve that issue, however. Doubt if we ever see any changes to the income tax issue, at least in my remaining lifetime.
