Yesterday, legislators in my home state passed a resolution asking that same-sex spouses and domestic partners receive the same tax equality as married taxpayers.
According to the Associate Press, the resolution asks the Internal Revenue Service to issue a ruling requiring individuals in a same-sex marriage or domestic partnership to each report half of their community income on federal tax returns.
Currently, California law requires same-sex couples and domestic partners to do so, but the IRS does not.
The Senate-endorsed resolution passed the Assembly on a 52-9 vote Monday.
