ABOLISH DOMA & EXTEND SAME TAX BENEFITS AND SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO SAME SEX MARRIED COUPLES ON FEDERAL LEVEL.
Why is this important?
As a legally married gay male in NY State while I can file a joint State tax return, I cannot carry that over to my Federal tax return. In addition I must claim his portion of medical insurance covered under my employer as income. Furthermore, if he dies I am not entitled to his SSDI as he is presently battling lung camcer and upon his death I will have to pay estate taxes on his half of our house. EQUALITY FOR ALL or NO TAXES AT ALL!
