Doing taxes actually got more complicated for Greenbaum and Silverman once DOMA was overturned.

On the federal level, they can file their taxes jointly reducing their tax hit by $1,000. But because they live in Kansas, where same-sex marriage isn't recognized, they still have to file their states taxes separately. As a result, they had to pay their accountant an extra $350 for all of the extra work involved.

Here's where Greenbaum and Silverman were a year ago

Despite the state rules, being able to combine their finances and truly operate as a unit for the first time since marrying in 1999 makes it all worth it.

"[When DOMA was overturned], it was like getting married all over again! All of a sudden we were paying the mortgage and we were paying the water bill. Who gets excited about paying bills? We did! We [now] work more as a team instead of roommates," said Greenbaum.
