Tax and Estate Implications of Same-Sex Marriage in Pa.

On May 20, in Whitewood v. Wolf, No. 1:13--1861 (M.D. Pa. May 20, 2014), U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III of the Middle District of Pennsylvania struck down Pennsylvania's ban on same-sex marriage, ruling that it violates both the due process and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution. The next day, Gov. Tom Corbett announced that he would not appeal the ruling, making Pennsylvania the 19th state to legalize same-sex marriage. This ruling effectively provides same-sex married Pennsylvanians with the same state law marital rights, benefits and obligations as any other married couple in Pennsylvania. In this article, we will summarize some of the rights, benefits and obligations in the income tax and estate planning arena that married same-sex couples who are Pennsylvania residents will now need to mindful of as they arrange their financial affairs.
