Roland Stampley: No there is no such refund. Usually you get a lower tax rate though if you are married and filing a joint return. If you file as married filing separately, it usually costs you more. Under some circumstances your taxes can be higher married than single.
Chanda Wittwer: If you're in the US, then, no. There is no such thing as a first year of marriage tax refund. However, because you've probably been withholding at a single rate, but now you'll get kinder tax treatment, you could very well end up with a rebate when you file jointly for the first time. In fact, my husband and I continue to withhold at a single rate, since we're "DINK"s and end up getting beaten up every year if we don't.Hope that helps. :0)...Show more
Russel Gajate: congrats on your marriage but there is something called "marriage penalty." Congress (AKA pinheads) think that if you are married you should pay more.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_penalty
Christia! ne Cattano: No. If you married at any time during 2008, and remained married for the rest of that year, then you MUST file as either married filing jointly or married filing separately (your choice which one, but you must NOT file as single) and you receive the same refund as if you had married in an earlier year and had been married all year.If you did not marry until 2009, then you MUST file as whatever you were at the end of 2008 (probably single), even if it is different from your current status....Show more
