Tax-Calculator CalcFunctions#

Tax-Calculator CalcFunctions

taxcalc.calcfunctions#

Tax-Calculator functions that calculate payroll and individual income taxes.

These functions are imported into the Calculator class.

Note: the parameter_indexing_CPI_offset policy parameter is the only policy parameter that does not appear here; it is used in the policy.py file to possibly adjust the price inflation rate used to index policy parameters (as would be done in a reform that introduces chained-CPI indexing).

taxcalc.calcfunctions.EITCamount(basic_frac, phasein_rate, earnings, max_amount, phaseout_start, agi, phaseout_rate)[source]#

Returns EITC amount given specified parameters. English parameter names are used in this function because the EITC formula is not available on IRS forms or in IRS instructions; the extensive IRS EITC look-up table does not reveal the formula.

Parameters:

  • phasein_rate (float) – Earned income credit phasein rate

  • earnings (float) – Earned income for filing unit

  • max_amount (float) – Maximum earned income credit

  • agi (float) – Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)

  • phaseout_rate (float) – Earned income credit phaseout rate

Returns:

eitc – Earned Income Credit
