[quote=Anonymous]Someone should do a longitudinal analysis of the marriage penalty versus marriage benefits. If you stay married until one of you dies after retirement, you can college the other person's SS if it was higher. This can be considerable. Also, there are no inheritance taxes on estates to spouses, it's called a pass-through. I realize this is down the road and at the gate it hurt but maybe overall marriage is a plus in terms of taxes and benefits. (Even if you divorce, a spouse who does not remarry can college the deceased spouse's social security if it's higher, provided the marriage was at least 10 years.) So is the marriage penalty really a penalty, or a fee against future benefits? You owe the government because neither of you met with a financial adviser and asked how the marriage would impact your taxes. [/quote]
