## Summary

**Would ensure equal tax treatment for legally married same-sex couples** by converting gendered spouse language across the tax code and by treating married couples as a single unit where the bill calls for unified treatment. It would also provide limited extra time to amend certain pre-2013 returns tied to Revenue Ruling 2013-17. - Legally married same-sex couples: Would be placed on equal footing for joint returns, credits, deductions, community-income rules, and other tax provisions covered by the bill. - Taxpayers affected by Revenue Ruling 2013-17: Would get an extended period to file amended returns or claim refunds for specified pre-2013 years, but only for changes related to retroactive recognition of marital status. - Tax administration and estates: Would systematically replace masculine and spouse-specific terms with gender-neutral and individual-centered wording across many Internal Revenue Code sections and related cross-references, and would align donor/donee and estate language for consistency.
