Researchers found that Black married couples are more likely to face marriage tax penalties and less likely to receive marriage bonuses than married white couples — despite U.S. tax code being 'race-blind.'
Additionally, a Black couple's income is likely to be the same to one another whereas a white couple has more income disparity. Both of those factors contribute to the likelihood of more"marriage penalties."
When focusing on households with adjusted gross income between $50,000 and $100,000, Black couples who faced penalties paid, on average, $1,394 compared to $1,241 for the white couples with penalties. And when it came to bonuses, Black couples received $1,402 versus $1,576 for white couples.
