Yes and no. The IRC says that marital status is determinedterms of one man and one woman.
Although I'm not a constitutional scholar, I'll stake outNor is any other state required to honor a same-sex marriage
from another state, because of the federal "Defense of
Marriage" act that declares that no state is required to
give "full faith and credit" to any such marriage.
I read that one (Rhode Island?) has said it will.However, another state *may* honor the MA same-sex marriage
if it wants, and there have been reports on the news that
some other states might.

Remember Sassy, that IRS has access to Social SecurityMaybe. There's a big discussion of this elsewhere in this
group. I think that federal law defines marriage as being
between a man and a woman, which would prohibit joint filing
of returns by same-sex couples. But I don't think that the
IRS has any way of knowing a taxpayer's sex, outside of an
audit, so I bet a lot of people will get away with it.
