This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to permit legally married same sex couples to amend their tax returns to file as married filing jointly for returns outside of the statute of limitations.
AI Summary
This bill, the Refund Equality Act of 2019, amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow legally married same-sex couples to amend their tax returns to file as married filing jointly, even if the returns are outside the normal statute of limitations. Specifically, the bill extends the time period for these couples to file joint returns and claim related tax credits or refunds, without the usual time restrictions. This change is intended to address the situation where same-sex couples were previously unable to file joint returns due to the lack of legal recognition of their marriages before 2013.
