I'm about to file my US tax return for 2014. My partner and I became common-law on December 30, 2014. Am I required to file as 'married'? In the state where I last lived in the US, common-law marriages are not recognised (Arkansas), but obviously they are here in Ontario. I don't want to put the wrong thing! Also, IF I am considered 'married' in US tax standards, if I get him a taxpayer ID and we file jointly, will he only pay tax to the US if his owed tax exceeds the amount he pays Canada? I'm not completely clear on the tax laws.
