Are you in favor of the IRS allowing same-sex couples in committed relationships to file joint tax returns?

notwithstanding what it is called (marriage, civil union, domestic partnership or whatever), do you think that same sex couples should be allowed to file joint taxes?Are you in favor of the IRS allowing same-sex couples in committed relationships to file joint tax returns?
Sure,,,I'm in favor of gays having all the same rights, and benefits, of any married couple, just don't call it marriage.





Because it is the use of that word that upsets the religious.





So compromise.Are you in favor of the IRS allowing same-sex couples in committed relationships to file joint tax returns?
Sex of the individuals aside- I think that two people who are committed to each other (long term relationships) should be allowed to file joint taxes. I have been with my boyfriend for over four years now. We live together and share all bills, etc, but we do not want to get married. I think people who decide to have a relationship such as ours should be able to file together, because the only thing separating us from another couple is a marriage certificate.
As long as it is the same for any other 'couple' that are living together, fair is fair... heterosexual and bisexual alike. Sure... why shouldn't it be. If both parties are committed together, share the same banking, and have been living together for ___ period of time... then why not? Again, it should be the same for heterosexual couples? Usually, the elderly do not get married, that are living together, because they each are collecting off of their deceased spouses' benefits...


This state of Marriage is BS. A piece of paper should not be the requisite to deem two people as a couple or not a couple. Single people that are living together, making a home for themselves, should be allowed to file jointly, OR, make it the same tax break for singles as it is for married, and eliminate this BS as it should be!
Absolutely. In fact, I am for people that have lived together for financial reasons for more then 3 years, regardless if they pounce each other in the bedroom to have the same rights insurance and tax wise. Times are hard, and the alternative is for more welfare circumstances.
IRS has no control over that. It is a state's issue.





Anyone is free to get married. You just cannot marry an animal, or a child, or your relative, or someone of the same sex.
yes they are human beings and they work like you and me i think they should not be shuned because of their sexual preferenace. you are nuts to say no tothis. i mean hey remember you are human or did it escape you?
Sounds good to me.


As long as they pay taxes and don't frighten the horses I don't care WHAT couples of the same gender do.
NO! But I am in favor of opposite sex being able to file joint. So many older people can't get married because they will lose money. That is one of the reasons people just live together. What a shame.
No.





The law does not allow it. If you want to change the law, go for it.
Why not? Their tax dollars spend the same way.
why doesn't the IRS marry itself and file its own joint tax return
not in favor but if their a couple, we have no choice
Yes.
No.
yes.
Yes, and why not?
