"IRS rule: 'Husband and wife' can mean a same-sex couple"
washingtonexaminer.com
"The IRS published a new rule Friday that said for tax purposes, it will interpret the term 'husband and wife' as any two people who are married to each other, even if they are a same-sex couple.
The IRS rule attempts to clarify marital terms in the wake of two major Supreme Court cases.
One of those cases was Obergefell v Hodges, the 2015 case that said same-sex couples have a right to get married under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. The other was Windsor v United States, which is the 2013 case that struck down a law that required the federal government to recognize only heterosexual marriages.
In an effort to stay consistent with those rulings, the IRS issued a draft rule late last year proposing that the term 'husband and wife' would mean any two people who are married to each other."
