Life Legally Single™ launches the Freedom Tax Calculator, a new tool revealing the "Singles Tax" faced by single filers, alongside a $1,111 Singles Tax Refund campaign running through April 15.
THE SINGLES TAX IS REAL — AND IT MAY COST AMERICANS BILLIONS
NEW YORK, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The U.S. tax code was largely written in the 1950s for a society structured around married households. Decades later, many of those assumptions remain embedded in federal tax policy and economic systems. In many cases, single filers can pay more in federal taxes than married couples filing jointly with similar combined income — a structural imbalance often described as the "Singles Tax."
More than 130 million Americans are unmarried, representing nearly half of the adult population. Beyond tax filing differences, single households frequently face higher per-person costs for housing, insurance, and other everyday expenses that couples often share. Until now, most singles have never seen their personal "Singles Tax" number.
The Freedom Tax Calculator™ estimates the combined financial impact of tax disparities and higher cost-of-living expenses that can affect unmarried households.

Life Legally Single expects tens of thousands of Americans to calculate their Freedom Tax before the April 15 filing deadline.
"At Life Legally Single™, we believe the freedom of self-partnership should never come with a financial disadvantage," said Jennifer Williams, founder of Life Legally Single. We built the Freedom Tax Calculator to help people see the hidden Singles Tax faced by unmarried Americans — and this tax season we're giving $1,111 back to one single American."
THE $1,111 SINGLES TAX REFUND
To celebrate the launch of the Freedom Tax Calculator™ — and to turn individual data into a collective national signal — Life Legally Single has launched the $1,111 Singles Tax Refund, running now through April 15, 2026.
How it works:
- Individuals visit the Freedom Tax Calculator and calculate their personal Freedom Tax estimate
- Participants enter the Singles Tax Refund using their calculated number
- The 11,111th verified entrant will receive $1,111
- Participants are invited to share their results on social media, contributing to a live counter tracking the total Freedom Tax calculated by users nationwide
The result: individual financial awareness that becomes a broader economic conversation.
"We chose $1,111 and the 11,111th entrant intentionally," Williams said. "The number one represents independence, freedom, and the power of living life on your own terms."
As leading singlehood expert Dr. Bella DePaulo, author of Single at Heart, has written:
"One is a whole number."
MORE THAN A GIVEAWAY — A NATIONAL CONVERSATION
The Singles Tax Refund campaign is the first step in a broader effort to bring the legal and financial realities of single life into mainstream economic discussion.
Married couples in the United States receive more than 1,100 federal legal benefits and protections not available to single adults — including Social Security survivor benefits, spousal health insurance eligibility, hospital visitation rights, and inheritance protections.
"For too long, the American financial system has been designed for a two-income, married-filing-jointly world," Williams said. "But with over 130 million Americans now navigating life on their own, the 'Singles Tax' is no longer just a personal burden — it's a systemic oversight. We built the Freedom Tax Calculator and the UnWedded Wallet™ financial ecosystem to give singles the transparency and tools to build wealth and power on their own terms."
