This pull request resolves part of issue #1770 by adding an advanced recipe to the Cookbook of Tested Recipes for Python Programming with Tax-Calculator. The new recipes illustrates the technique for comparing two reforms without any analysis of current-law policy. It also, shows how to read reform files directly from the Tax-Calculator website using the approach discussed by @MaxGhenis in issue #1644.
The new recipe shows how to analyze the income-tax changes caused by moving from the TCJA bill as originally passed by the House (
TCJA_House_Amended.json
) to the TCJA conference committee bill (TCJA_Reconciliation.json
).
