Health Insurance Benefits For Domestic Partners
Donald asks…
Should straight couples who choose not to marry receive domestic partnership benefits?
California doesn’t allow Gay couples to marry, but there is an allowance for domestic partner employee benefits. This allows domestic partners to be covered under eachother’s health insurance etc.
Gay couples don’t have a choice but to use these benefits, but if a straight couple that legally can get married chooses not to -
should they get the same domestic partnership benefits?
Chris Station answers:
It is California State Law that unmarried couples who are over eighteen years of age , single or previously legally divorced, and are in an intended long term relationship with common assets and liabilities are entitled to the same benefits offered to married couples and gay couples. This information is readily available on the Internet; see Ca.gov..

U will have to address that with your insurance carrier.
Some carriers recognize a domestic partnership, most dont yet.
Im in the same boat.
Linda asks…
How does getting married in Dec. to my domestic partner(on my insurance) effect imputed income on my 06 W2?
I have imputed income added to my W-2 for 2006, for her health benefits. We got married in December I was wondering if this was similar to having a Baby in December where as you can get the full deduction as if you had the baby Jan 1. Can I ask my employer to re-issue me a W-2 less the imputed income?
Chris Station answers:
You need to file your income tax return with the married filing jointly status, and leave the imputed income as-is. If the health benefits deduction is after-tax, you can claim this as an itemized deduction–if you itemize.
