Description

Working through the web of references from the state to the IRS & cross-checking `openfisca-us` and `taxcalc` variables is super time-consuming, I've come up with an informal system based on lines in the tax form, which I think should be the primary unit to organizing those reference. Would make it possible to generate graphs like the below.

My personal taxonomy is something like
state: md
form: 502
line: 27
`md502_27`
