According to IRS tax code, registered domestic partners may not file a federal return using a married filing separately or jointly filing status. Registered domestic partners are not married under state law. Therefore, these taxpayers are not married for federal tax purposes.
There is no stipulation about filing simultaneously unless I missed something in the code.
