Imputed income domestic partner

You are welcome and above, I should have said NOT itemizing....;)   @Jlcalore

What if you neglect to tell your employer that you’re married, and they issue a w2 with the imputed income, would you have any recourse when filing taxes?

No, as the Employer processes your payroll based off of what you filled out on your W4 and gave to them. This form is specific to you only and your choice as to how to fill it out. It is purely to "hope" that your employer is withholding enough on your behalf. If you omitted something and were "over-withheld", then the IRS has more of your money during the course of the year (including the required minimum withheld. Single taxpayers typically have far more withheld than MFJ or DPs. You're fine!
