HR4163119th CongressWALLET

PRIDE Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Chu, Judy [D-CA-28]

Introduced

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.

Show full summary
  • 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.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Gender-neutral tax rules for married couples

If enacted, the tax code would use terms like “married couple” and “the individual’s spouse” instead of “husband” or “wife.” This would confirm that legally married same-sex couples are treated the same as other married couples for joint returns, credits, deductions, and community income rules covered. Where a rule treats spouses as one tax unit, that treatment would apply regardless of the spouses’ genders. This update changes wording and cross-references, not tax rates or new spending.

More time for pre-2013 joint returns

If enacted, some married same-sex couples could file a late joint return for years that ended before September 16, 2013. This would apply if Revenue Ruling 2013-17 first treated you as married and you had filed a non-joint return. The deadline to switch to a joint return would run until the normal filing date (including extensions) for the year that includes the enactment date. Refund claim periods for those years would be extended to that same date, and older refund caps tied to expired deadlines would not apply. This relief would only cover amendments or refunds tied to your change in marital status.
