Description
Feature request
Add a JCT-style distributional table to the economy-wide impact output, similar to the format the Joint Committee on Taxation uses in its distributional analyses (example: https://www.jct.gov/publications/2025/jcx-33-25/).
This is a distinct output format from the decile-level charts already in the report view — a compact table showing income group, number of returns/tax units, and average/aggregate change, matching the layout policy analysts expect from JCT-style publications.
Reference
See the JCT publication above for the target table format (income category rows, with columns for population share, average tax change, and percentage change in after-tax income).
Migrated from policyengine-app#2650.

Research direction
Start by locating the economy-wide impact output and the report view's existing decile-level charts. Compare their available data with the referenced JCT publication, then define the table's income rows and population, average-change, aggregate-change, and after-tax-income percentage columns. Done means the report includes a compact JCT-style distributional table matching the requested layout.
