Some more good news on the Gay Marriage front from the IRS....

I get this newsletter from this Accounting Today and every day and this was the headline...

Treasury and IRS Recognize Same-Sex Marriages for Tax Purposes


here is the good news.....

Generally, the statute of limitations for filing a tax refund claim is three years from the date the return was filed or two years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. As a result, refund claims can still be filed for tax years 2010, 2011, and 2012. Some taxpayers may have special circumstances (such as signing an agreement with the IRS to keep the statute of limitations open) that permit them to file refund claims for tax years 2009 and earlier.

1. How very cool!

Having the ability to file for those years gone by will bring good results for folks in same-sex marriages.

I am really glad to see this.
