Utah's legislature formally urges Congress to remove what are called "marriage penalties" from federal tax laws and assistance programs — situations where two people who marry end up paying more in taxes or receiving fewer government benefits than they would if they remained unmarried. The resolution calls on Congress to adjust income caps and benefit levels so married couples aren't financially disadvantaged, make income thresholds scale proportionally with household size, and phase out the "head of household" tax filing status while adjusting other credits like the child tax credit to protect single parents from losing ground.
