Recent changes in tax law are affecting all kinds of people
from all walks of life. Surprisingly, one group of people that they are
affecting is same-sex couples. While same-sex couples may not be able to get
married in every state in the United States just yet, married same-sex couples
are now allowed to file their income taxes jointly or as “married filing
separately,” even if they live somewhere where the marriage is not recognized
by the state.
While many people regard this recent change as a step in the
right direction for homosexual couples, the new law could potentially result in
increased taxes for same-sex couples. Couples who will likely face the highest
increase in taxes are couples in which both spouses are employed.
Whether you are affected by this new tax law or any other,
you should know that there is available tax help
in Naperville. You can get the tax help you need, regardless of your
situation, by contacting Susan S. Lewis, Ltd. of Naperville.
