Thanks to the recent Supreme Court ruling that overturned a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the IRS will allow same-sex spouses to file joint tax returns as a married couple.
This ruling will enable same-sex couples to move freely from state to state without worrying about losing the right to file federal taxes jointly as a married couple. The ruling will apply to same-sex couples even if those couples move to a state that doesn’t allow same-sex couples to be married and will include income and gift and estate taxes. It does not apply to domestic partnerships or civil unions.
