Make Marriage Great Again Act of 2025
HR 320, the "Make Marriage Great Again Act of 2025," eliminates the tax "marriage penalty" for married couples filing jointly. The bill modifies the federal income tax code by doubling the income thresholds for married couples' tax brackets (using the brackets that apply to single filers), effectively making the tax rates for married couples more favorable. This change directly affects married couples filing jointly whose combined income would have previously pushed them into a higher tax bracket than if they filed separately. The policy change applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, and removes specific provisions that previously created the penalty.
