This pull request adds the ability to simulate a Clinton income tax reform provision: the inclusion of partnership and S-corporation pass-through income in the base of the Net Investment Income Tax. A recent TPC report on page 4 describes this reform provision as follows:
This pull request does not alter tax-calculating logic under current-law policy, but does add the ability to simulate this reform provision. Using this pull request produces a static income tax revenue increase for 2018 that is consistent with the corresponding TPC estimate, which is combined together with the estimated effects of several changes in capital-gains-realizations rules. So, "consistent" means that the Tax-Calculator estimate for 2018 is less than the combined TPC estimate for 2018. Details are below for those interested.
