Research direction

Start with the linked TAXSIM output at http://taxsim.nber.org/out2psl/1159 and identify the reported taxable-income disagreement between PE and TA. Trace the corresponding emulator calculation and verify the result against the reference output; done means the two taxable-income values agree.
