Description
The current implementation implies that all of the person level inputs are income related but we also pass through inputs such as mortgage interest and rent payments.
We should use more general variable names for clarity

Research direction
Start with variable_mappings.yaml and search the repository for both existing variable names. Update the mappings and any references so the broader person-level and tax-unit terminology is consistent. Done means the old names no longer appear where these mappings are consumed.
