The Marriage Tax Debate Gains Steam in Congress
The marriage tax burdens couples filing jointly, costing thousands compared with separate filings. Angela and David Boyter of Maryland highlight the issue after multiple divorces for tax breaks. Bills by Senators Mathias and Gravet and Representative Fisher aim to loosen or remove the penalty, with Treasury estimates ranging from billions in potential revenue changes.
