Research direction

Compare the TAXSIM output at http://taxsim.nber.org/out2psl/1105 with Form 140, focusing on lines 49 and 50 and their refundability. Then trace the Arizona tax calculation in this repository and update the behavior so Dependent Tax Credit and Family Income Tax Credit match the documented form and reference output.
