This PR correctly implements:

  • Property Tax Credit max increase to $1,425
  • KCCATC max per child increase to $1,200
  • KCCATC income limits ($180,100 for most statuses, $90,000 for Married Filing Separately)
  • DC EITC 100% match (already implemented, reference added)
  • 2025 D-40 Booklet references for all DC income tax parameters

Audit Follow-up: Schedule H AGI Thresholds

The audit identified a potential gap in the Property Tax Credit (Schedule H) implementation:

Issue Found

The 2025 D-40 Booklet states on page 5 ("New for 2025"):

Schedule H federal Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) eligibility threshold has increased to $66,000 for claimants under age 70, and $90,000 for claimants age 70 or older.

However, the following files do not have explicit 2025 values:

File 2024 Value 2025 PDF Value Status
fraction_nonelderly.yaml $63,900 $66,000 ⚠️ No 2025 entry
fraction_elderly.yaml $87,100 $90,000 ⚠️ No 2025 entry

Note on Uprating

Both files use gov.irs.uprating with downward rounding to the nearest $100. If the uprating calculates to the correct values ($66,000 and $90,000), no action is needed.

However, if the uprated values differ from the official PDF amounts, explicit 2025 entries should be added:

  • fraction_nonelderly.yaml: 2025-01-01: 66_000
  • fraction_elderly.yaml: 2025-01-01: 90_000

🤖 Audit performed by Claude Code

- fraction_nonelderly: $66,000 (under age 70)
- fraction_elderly: $90,000 (age 70+)

Update: Schedule H AGI Thresholds Added

Based on the audit finding, I've added explicit 2025 values for the Schedule H AGI eligibility thresholds:

Parameter 2024 Value 2025 Value Source
\ 63,900 66,000* D-40 Booklet p.5
\ 87,100 90,000 D-40 Booklet p.5

All DC PTC tests pass (9/9).

Reference Page Corrections Needed ⚠️

The 2025 D-40 Booklet has a significantly different page layout than prior years. Pages 28–39 are now multilingual ReliaCard disclosures (12 new pages), shifting all subsequent content forward. 14 of 18 #page= references point to the wrong page in the 2025 booklet.

File Current #page= Correct #page= Current page shows Should show
rates.yaml 17 20 Part-year deduction calcs Calculation I / Tax Rate Schedule
cdcc/match.yaml 34 21 ReliaCard (Chinese) Line 21 instructions ("multiply by .32")
eitc/with_children/match.yaml 34 22 ReliaCard (Chinese) Line 27d ("multiply x 1.00")

ptc/rent_ratio.yaml 47 57 D-40 form page 3 Schedule H instructions (20% rent)
self_employment_loss/threshold.yaml 62 64 D-8609 Housing Tax Credit Schedule I Calc A ($12,000)
joint_separately_option.yaml 44 50 D-40 form page 1 Calculation J on Schedule S p.2

4 references are correct: phase_out/rate.yaml (#page=20), phase_out/start.yaml (#page=20), disabled_exclusion/amount.yaml (#page=63), disabled_exclusion/income_limit.yaml (#page=63).


Observation (pre-existing, not from this PR)

The EITC without children phase-out start relies on uprating from the 2024 value ($22,566). The 2025 D-40 Booklet shows $23,288 (p.26, Section C, Line 5). If the uprating formula doesn't produce exactly $23,288, an explicit 2025 entry may be needed.


🤖 Audited with Claude Code

The 2025 D-40 Booklet has a different page layout than prior years due to
12 pages of multilingual ReliaCard disclosures (pp. 28-39), shifting all
subsequent content. Corrects 14 #page= references to point to the actual
content pages, and adds the explicit 2025 EITC without children phase-out
start value ($23,288) from p.26, Section C, Line 5.
