Same sex couples and the tax code

I recently posted a blog on the differences between a same sex divorce in Connecticut and a “traditional divorce.” These differences result because same sex marriage is not recognized at the federal level. This includes federal tax treatment.

Connecticut, which has legalized same sex marriage, allows same sex couples to file joint state returns. However, it has been estimated that same sex couples pay approximately $6,000 more per year in federal taxes since they cannot file joint federal returns.

Here is a post detailing a few of the other ways that same sex couples get hit hard at tax time:
