Marriage Bonus, Marriages Penalty - Taxation
-
Just came across a pretty comprehensive analysis of the effects of marriage on taxes. It's dated 2018, so it's not skewed by any of the COVOD era temporary measure, and would not account for any changes introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
