&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Same-Sex Marriages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;For tax reasons, persons of the same sex are considered married if they were lawfully married in a state or foreign country whose laws authorize the marriage of two individuals of the same sex. Since the Supreme Court ruling of 2015 legalized same-sex marriage in every state, married individuals who are members of the same sex must follow the same guidelines as other married couples when filing a tax return.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;However, individuals who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar relationship that is not considered a marriage under state (or foreign) law are not considered married for federal tax purposes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
Matrimonios del mismo sexo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Por razones fiscales, las personas del mismo sexo son consideradas casadas si estuvieran legalmente casadas en un estado o país extranjero cuyas leyes autoricen el matrimonio de dos personas del mismo sexo. Desde el fallo de la Corte Suprema de 2015 legalizó el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo en todos los estados, las personas casadas que son miembros del mismo sexo deben seguir las mismas pautas que otras parejas casadas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sin embargo, las personas que han firmado una asociación doméstica registrada, unión civil u otra relación similar que no se considera un matrimonio bajo la ley estatal (o extranjera) no se consideran casadas para propósitos de impuestos federales.&lt;/div&gt;

Some credits may be carried to other tax years.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Deductions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Reducción de la deuda tributaria permitida para diversos fines a los contribuyentes que reúnan los requisitos.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Algunos créditos son reembolsables; Es decir, el IRS enviará al contribuyente un reembolso por cualquier cantidad que exceda de la obligación tributaria. Algunos créditos no son reembolsables; Es decir, sólo pueden reducir la obligación tributaria a cero. Algunos créditos pueden ser transferidos a otros años fiscales.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Deducciones&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Cantidades que se pueden restar de los ingresos que de lo contrario son gravables.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
