From the author: This study uses the 1989 Internal Revenue Service Statistics of Income public use file to produce measures of frequency and magnitude for several "marriage taxes." These measures are generated, separately, for itemizer and nonitemizer taxpayers, while holding taxpayer-specific marginal tax rates constant. Separate measures are also provided by taxpayer adjusted gross income class. Distinguishing between marriage tax penalties (MTPs) and those taxes/credits associated with qualifying dependency exemptions, findings suggest that studies failing to make this distinction may overstate the magnitude and frequency of MTPs.
