Probably so, says a researcher for . the Center for the Study of the Fami ly and the State at Duke University. Inequities in tax laws, based on ' outmoded social concepts, penalize female wage earners who get married, making it profitable for them to co habit, he says. And the situation will probably get more acute because of changing work patterns. "The number of women in the labor force has doubled in the past 20 years," says Zaida I. Giraldo, historian and postdoctoral fellow at Duke. 'The figures of 1978 show that 50 per cent of all women are in the labor force, that they now make r up 42 per cent of all U.S. workers. "As women's wages rise, it will cost them more to maintain a marriage with a man earning an equivalent salary than simply to cohabit with him." In keeeping with the mood of the country toward tax reform, Dr. Giraldo has written a Family Impact Statement, "Tax Policy and the Dual Income Family: The Marriage Tax and Other Inequities," outlining the effects, development and possible reform of the marriage tax. The study has been published as a working paper by Duke's Institute of Policy Sciences and Public Affairs. "The most obvious tax inequity striking working wives is that the federal government demands a higher Income tax payment from a dual- income married couple than it does from two single persons earning the same combined income," she writes. This rate structure gap, which penalizes working women and their families, affects millions of Ameri cans with a marriage tax ranging from a few dollars to thousands of dollars per family every year, she says. For example, if the wife of a man earning $20,000 earned $7,000 on her own, the couple would have to pay about 30 per cent of her income in federal income taxes-double the rate she would pay if taxed as an indivi dual. '' Also, under present tax law, a tax payer holding two jobs may deduct the cost of traveling to and from that second job and all meals eaten away from while perfonning the job. But if it is the spouse who 'holds down the se cond job, these same expenses are not deductible. Dr. Giraldo says most of the inequi ties of tax structre can be traced back to the fact that the federal government is still relying on the "outmoded" per ' ception that all famileis have only one breadwinner. "In effect," she says, "Jhe federal government is interfering . with family life by making certain choices less, costly than others. By allowing tax de ductions to families where one earner holds two jobs and denying this' same relief to families where both adult members work, the federal govern ment imposes itself further on family life. "What difference does it make who holds the second job in the family?" A copy of Dr. Giraldo's paper was sent to Rep. Charles Mathias (R-Md.) who has reintroduced to the House of Representatives a bill allowing each family the option of choosing to file at the singles rate and thereby elimi nating the marraige tax. How does Dr. Giraldo feel about this solution? "I'm glad to see that the question of marriage tax is alive again, but I feel that his apporach has its limitations. Americns tend to budget together when they are married. I'm not sure that families can be adequately supported by a single-return tax structure. "Families would lose substantial benefits and even less enthusiastic would be the IRS, which would have to process perhaps as many as 20 million extra tax returns every year," she said. Instead, Dr. Giraldo proposes a "Variable Tax Credit," which would bring taxes down to the level the couple would pay if they had remained single, while perserving the benefits and unity of a joint return. 'The important thing now is that the issue is alive in Congress," says Dr. Giraldo. "The possibility that over 40 million persons could be penalized by the marriage tax represents a sleep ing giant that could and should rise up a"nd demand tax relief."
