Can You Write Off Marriage License?
Short answer: No: marriage license fees are personal.
Name-change documents aren't deductible either.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
