Issue Position: End the Marriage Penalty
In 2006, I was one of the leaders of the team that successfully ended the marriage penalties that were remaining in Arizona tax laws. The current federal income tax code imposes a penalty on working married couples. In 2001, Congress passed marriage tax penalty relief phased in over several years. All of the changes are set to expire at the end of 2010 hitting married couples with a marriage penalty tax increase in 2011. It is imperative that Congress pass legislation to make this phase-out of the marriage penalty permanent.
