Fixes #2843 bug by including both the self-employment tax (
setax
) and the additional Medicare tax (ptax_amc
) inothertaxes
, and therefore, in theiitax
variable (rather than including them both in thepayrolltax
variable).Note that the potentially-confusing variable name for the additional Medicare tax (
ptax_amc
) has been retained in order to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.Most of the test changes in this PR involve changing expected
iitax
andpayrolltax
values to correspond to the values generated by the new version of Tax-Calculator in this PR. However,test_itax_compare
in thetaxcalc/tests/test_compare.py
module, is different in this respect. Its expected values are published IRS/SOI income tax statistics for 2015. Before the changes in this PR, the aggregateiitax
generated by the model using thepuf.csv
input data was 1406.456 billion dollars, which was about 3.5 percent below the IRS/SOI amount of 1457.891 billion dollars. Using the changes in this PR, the model now generates 1462.385 billion dollars, which is about 0.3% above the IRS/SOI amount of 1457.891 billion dollars.
