Summary

  • Based on the US Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, the value of health insurance benefits provided to an employee's same-sex spouse is not subject to state income tax withholding. The value of such benefits provided to an employee's same-sex civil union partner or domestic partner is taxable in the state. See Same-Sex Couple Health Insurance Benefits.
