Does my domestic partner need to be recognized in my state?

Yes.

The first step is confirming your domestic partner meets both your state's domestic partnership recognition requirements and the IRS qualifying relative definition before adding them to your coverage through Thatch.

State requirements vary—some require formal registration, while others recognize domestic partnerships based on factors like cohabitation and financial interdependence. Check your state's specific rules or consult a tax advisor.
