I believe the answer is no! Equal recognition still does not apply for federal tax purposes.
And welcome Rachelle, hope you enjoy it here!

@RachelleRenee12,
If both people work and make decent money, marriage in general causes you to pay more taxes. It's called the marriage penalty. That would apply to any marriage. If one person stays home then you get a benefit.
Two single working people do, yes. One working person with a stay at home spouse pays less than those two independently though since the stay at home spouse confers all his benefits to his partner.
Stumble It!
