When filling out your federal income tax return, there is no requirement to identify your race. Moreover, the US tax code does not contain specific racial group provisions. Yet just because the tax code is considered race blind does not mean it’s race neutral. A recent study by the Tax Policy Center, for example, found that Black couples on average face higher tax costs associated with marriage than White couples.
We show that these patterns arise because, controlling for income, Black spouses have more equal earnings than white spouses … and because Black couples are more likely to have dependents,” the authors of the report write. Differences in dollars and cents Researchers found that among couples hit with a marriage penalty, Black couples paid less in dollars but more as a share of their income than White couples .
This is absolutely and totally false. Numerically impossible. I thought CNN was attempting to moderate itself?
This is a very bizarre article. Is the author suggesting that the tax code should be adjusted to account for race?
Bullshit
Total BS…fake news as usual.
Guess the IRS should quit publishing tax rates according to race. Looks like the Biden administration would have taken care of that by now. Oh well.
Fake study
Yeah, ok. 🥴🙄
Sounds like fake race baiting reporting here ?
Nope, and the outright race-baiting here explains why you’re losing business.
First paragraph, and I tapped out. Race blind does mean race neutral
Democratic Party has been trying to segregate us by race since 1828. This new spin of anti-white bullshit is just their latest tactic. Trying to get black folks to help them segregate. How hard we have fought against segregation just to have these racist try new tricks.
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣
Do you put race on your tax forms? 🤔
Is that why over 70% of black kids don’t have dads in the home? Sad
F'ing gaslighting racist, sexist, ageist and woke CNN, you make my eyes hurt!
I hate that people hate CNN, but I can’t blame them.
that’s a lie, actually a big lie, when you file taxes nobody can see your skin color, and actually nobody cares. how you behave economically talking is your problem, stop your biased comment.
Bullish t
What now taxes are racist give me a break
I must be missing out on the whites only deduction
Who on average cheats for more $$?
I sincerely hope CNN goes under in the short future. Politics asides, yall are a disgrace. -ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE-
CnnIsTrash
This statement makes your headline a joke. Stop trying to drive hate.
Hmm, I missed that part on the tax form.
Indeed Unfair...
Malarkey
Wait. Stop. You using math. Math is racist. The tax policy center must be the racist party!
More race baiting from the Cartoon News Network.
From your own damn article: “If the financial facts of a Black married couple were identical to those of a White married couple, there would be no difference in their tax burdens,” Keep up the divisiveness CNN. Can’t imagine why people trust you less than ever.
I doubt it.....as long as there isn't a national weed tax or something I don't know about.
beautiful
A friend of mine's wife passed away and now pays a singles penalty
The diffs are negligible plus……Has nothing to do with race.
CNN desperate fir attention/ viewers
Whoever wrote this article needs to do a better comparison job than seemingly with misleading title associating the differences in tax penalty to being a white or black couple.
Everything is racist in Joe Biden’s Marxist America
This organization spews propaganda garbage.
Trying to make something racial in order to push an agenda. Piss off.
pandering
Another race-baiting article from CNN
BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT More racist propaganda by the race baiters...
If there is not box to check what race you are then how can you pull data validating this story?🤷🏾♂️ where’s this data coming from?
A more accurate headline: Married couples where one spouse makes less or doesn’t work and who have less dependents are likely to pay less tax
'Penalty' is technical jargon. Are you sure this article uses that jargon properly? Otherwise cnn may be spreading misinformation.
Typical CNN article. Ridiculous!
Race hustling.
CNN is 120% more likely to push false liberal narratives based on meaningless statistics... For instance.....Arkansas...a red state...has a high murder rate....however most of the murders occur in the Democrat controlled city of Little Rock...
My god this has nothing to do with race.
Well roughly 70% of black kids grow up in a single mother household.... so not sure how many are getting married. Again QUALITY article from CCN. 61M followers, can barely crack 100 likes. take a hint
So if 2 people are working, both have to pay taxes. How did this make it past everyone to get published?
Race baiting, and it’s only Monday.
Here we go again lol. The daily pandering
If those tax forms are race blind and they are…then this is completely BS.
Irresponsible headline. It’s triggering and not factual. Per the article, “If the financial facts of a Black married couple were identical to those of a White married couple, there would be no difference in their tax burdens.”
Biden is racist. I’m not surprised
This article literally says it has nothing to do with race. Why even write this?
does that go for hetero and homo? so we're all supposed to be in one box in one group, in one race
“just because the tax code is considered race blind does not mean it’s race neutral”
tax ums be racials
This is word manipulation to stoke racism for clicks.
'Black married couples are more likely to live in a two-earner household; each spouse is more likely to earn about the same amount as the other; and they are more likely to have dependents.' So Black women are more likely to earn as much as men? Sounds like a plus.
What the hell is a marriage penalty
