I had a law school friend who had to deal with gift taxes when she tried to buy a house with her partner, because her union wasn't recognized by the federal government.
Someone I know had to deal with something similar because, even though his workplace recognized his relationship as legitimate, at the time NYC didn't so it caused some tax-based wonkiness because his workplace did still offer health insurance for him and his partner.
