Bill Summary
A BILL To permit legally married same-sex couples to amend their filing status for tax returns outside the statute of limitations.
AI Summary
This bill, the Refund Equality Act of 2021, aims to allow legally married same-sex couples to amend their tax filing status outside the normal statute of limitations. Specifically, it permits individuals who were previously treated as unmarried for tax purposes, despite being legally married, to file joint tax returns for those years. The bill extends the time period for these couples to claim refunds or make other changes related to their marital status on their tax returns, ensuring they can receive the same tax benefits as heterosexual married couples.
