Tax Equality for Married Couples: Retroactive Filing and Gender Neutrality.

This Act ensures full tax equality for all legally married couples, regardless of gender. The key change allows same-sex couples who were legally married before 2013 to file amended joint tax returns for those past years, potentially resulting in tax refunds. Furthermore, the entire tax code is updated to use gender-neutral language, standardizing treatment across the board for all married individuals.
Key points
Allows same-sex couples to retroactively file joint tax returns for years before September 2013, even if the standard statute of limitations has expired, potentially leading to tax refunds.
Amends hundreds of tax provisions to replace gender-specific terms like "husband and wife" with neutral language like "married couple," ensuring equal treatment under the tax code for all legal marriages.
