Numerical differences are noted in the {letter}{year}-taxdiffs-actual.csv files in this directory. ## 2017 +* No differences greater than $1 (though one obs with an marginal tax rate differences of 7.65 percent) ## 2018 +* No differences greater than $1. + ## 2019 * There is one record in the "a" file with a difference in the EITC amount of $196.22. This record is of a single, 19 year old filer. This person is below the age of 25 and therefore should receive $0 EITC, which is what Tax-Calculator reports. TAXSIM-35 does not recognize this age threshold and incorrectly assigns this person $196.22 in EITC.
