Teddy:
Unless you are in a heterosexual marriage *or* you live in a state that has already achieved marriage equality you already *do* pay taxes on the amount your employer contributes to your partner's health insurance coverage. Interestingly, the day after the SCOTUS rulings in June, my HR person came to me and asked if my honey and I were planning on going to Washington to get married (we live in Oregon). The reason is is that the minute they *could* change the withholding for spousal coverage for same-sex couples they did. They can't for Oregon since DP does not equate to marriage but once we are legally married we will no longer have to pay taxes on the amount my employer contributes to my wife's coverage. If you are heterosexually married, of course, you already don't pay taxes on the amount your employer contributes to spousal health insurance coverage. Cheers Aj Quote:

And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett) |
