NH doesn’t appear to have any kind of “joint-filing” that would be beneficial to couples rather than single people. On the federal level, those marriages aren’t recognized, but if they were some studies have suggested that gay married couples would pay more in taxes as many of them would be subject to the “marriage penalty”.

The NH legislature has extended the taxpayer marriage subsidy to same-sex couples. This has nothing to do with their right to marry or to contract freely. Note, that I don't necessarily disagree with the legislature, but the 'this is a civil rights issue' meme needs to be stomped on wherever found.
