The California legislature approved a resolution on Monday urging the IRS to tax married same-sex spouses and domestic partners the same as heterosexual married couples, the AP reports:
"The resolution, AJR29, 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."
