As part of our general campaign to end the Marriage Penalty in the Home Buyer Tax Credit, we were interviewed last week by a reporter from the National Journal about the issue. He wrote up an extensive piece about the issue, which unfortunately was unfortunately behind a subscriber wall when it initially came out. But it’s live now, and you can read it here:
In fact, we’ve seen a bit of a spike in the traffic on the site this week, and a spike in the Questions section from people asking about the Marriage Penalty, so we think that a lot of people are just discovering the problem.
The funny part about it is that the reporter only discovered the issue when he was getting ready to file his taxes, and realized that he was not able to claim the credit because of the marriage penalty. I guess what we need now is for someone related to an important Senator to discover the same thing….
