No, you cannot file as married on your taxes without a civil marriage license. For tax purposes, the IRS requires a legal marriage recognized by the state. A religious ceremony alone does not confer legal marital status unless it is accompanied by a civil marriage license. You should consult with a tax professional for specific guidance based on your situation.

The license must be signed by the official who performs the marriage and the license must be returned to the clerk's department that issued it. If there is no marriage license there is no marriage.

Can you get marriage license in Kansas and get married in Arizona?

You have to get married in the same state in which you obtained your marriage license. But you can apply for an Arizona marriage license if that is the state in which you have decided to get married. Just because you got a marriage license in one state doesn't mean you can't change your mind and apply to get married in a different state. But when you do get married, you have to have a marriage license in the state in which you get married. The marriage license is not recorded as a "done deal" until after the wedding, so it shouldn't be a problem.
