This event is an opportunity for attorneys, accountants and the general public to hear a discussion and ask questions about the tax considerations of same-sex spouses since the Supreme Court’s decision in U.S. v. Windsor, which overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), thus permitting legally married same-sex spouses to be treated as married for federal tax purposes. The Town Hall meeting will explore many pertinent issues, including:
- What are the tax benefits and burdens of filing as married?
- Should same-sex spouses amend prior filings to file as married?
- What estate and gift tax planning opportunities are now available to same-sex spouses?
- What benefits are now available to same-sex spouses with respect to health coverage, fringe benefits and retirement plans and what actions should employers take with respect to these plans?
