IRS Change for Filing Federal Individual Returns for Same-Sex Couples: ALABAMA'S #1 Income Tax Preparation Company keeping you informed

The IRS announced on August 29, 2013 that all legal same-sex married couples will be treated as married for Federal tax purposes (including income and gift and estate taxes) as of September 16, 2013.

The ruling contained in IRS Revenue Ruling 2013-17 implements the Federal tax aspects of the June 26, 2013 Supreme Court decision invalidating a key provision of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.

The new rule applies to legally married same sex couples regardless of whether they reside in a State that recognizes same-sex marriage or in a State that does not recognize the validity of same-sex marriages.

It does not apply to registered domestic partnerships, civil unions, or similar formal relationships recognized under state law.
