Heres the situation - for the first half of the year my (now wife) was covered under my employer's health care as a domestic partner (as we were not yet married.) During this time, they grossed up my pay and then taxed me approximately $2800 for her benefits, as they are taxable as a domestic partner. Now that we're married, can I take any sort of deduction for them as in the eyes of the IRS we've been married for the entire year?
Thanks for all input in advance, other than the obvious "shouldn't have gotten married" posts
