Research direction

Start by comparing the TAXSIM output at http://taxsim.nber.org/out2psl/1156 with the Virginia rebate guidance in the linked city announcement. No repository file, test, or entry point is identified, so first locate the Virginia 2023 rebate calculation and its tests; done means the $400 rebate is assigned to 2023 rather than the 2022 eligibility year.
