can a couple (man and woman) be married under new york common law and file a married filing joint tax return for federal income tax purposes? what would the couple need to substantiate a common law marriage for the tax year if so? ===========================================================Moderator: The State of New York is NOT a common law State.
The State of New York recognizes common law marriages if and only if they were created in a common law State. ===========================================================
