NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Same-sex spouses are paying as much as $6,000 a year in extra taxes because the federal government doesn't recognize gay marriage, according to an analysis conducted for CNNMoney by tax specialists.

While marriage provides tax benefits for many heterosexual couples, same-sex families don't enjoy the same perks because they are not allowed to file their federal returns jointly.

This crap P*sses me off!!! I don't understand why states like UTAH ( Yes! UTAH!!) Have common law marriage to protect partys legally.. Yet, deny the same protection to same sex couples who actually want to commit to one another. Makes no sense!! Texas is another state I would never move too, Just saying!!
