Research direction
Start with the TAXSIM comparison at http://taxsim.nber.org/out2psl/1185 and identify the PolicyEngine and TAXSIM results for the child tax credit and EIC. Trace the relevant Python tax-calculation entry points, then reproduce the discrepancy and verify that both credits agree while the existing pre-credit tax agreement remains unchanged.
