Associated Press story posted on sfgate.com:

"The California Legislature has passed a resolution asking that same-sex spouses and domestic partners be taxed the same as heterosexual married couples.

"The resolution, AJR29, asks the Internal Revenue Service to issue a ruling requiring individuals in marriages with same-sex spouses or in domestic partnerships to each report half of their community income on federal tax returns.

"Currently, California law requires same-sex couples and domestic partners to do so, but the IRS does not.

"The Senate-endorsed resolution passed the Assembly on a 52-9 vote Monday."
