Fixes #6872

DTrim99 and others added 2 commits December 8, 2025 11:31
The supplemental tax calculation was using thresholds[-1] to detect
high AGI cases, but since 2022 that threshold is infinity (due to NY
moving to one less bracket). This meant the flat 10.9% rate was never
triggered for AGI > $25M.

Added explicit high_agi_threshold parameter ($25M) and updated the
supplemental tax logic to use it instead of thresholds[-1].

Issue Found and Fixed

After comparing our calculation with TaxAct/TaxSim results, we discovered our NY tax calculation was ~$150K too low for filers with AGI above $25 million.

The Problem

For NY AGI > $25M, Worksheet 11 in the IT-201 instructions requires:

Tax = Taxable Income × 10.9% (a flat rate on ALL income)

The supplemental tax code was designed to detect this case using:

agi_limit = single.thresholds[-1]  # Last bracket threshold
# ...
return where(ny_agi > agi_limit, supplemental_tax_high_agi, ...)

However, starting in 2022, NY moved to one less bracket and the parameter file was updated:

- threshold:
    2021-01-01: 25_000_000
    2022-01-01: .inf  # ← Last threshold is now infinity!

Since thresholds[-1] = ∞, the condition ny_agi > agi_limit was never true, so the flat 10.9% recapture was never triggered.

The Fix

  1. Added explicit high_agi_threshold parameter set to $25,000,000
  2. Updated ny_supplemental_tax.py to use this parameter instead of thresholds[-1]

Results

Before After TaxAct
$3,494,121 $3,644,120 $3,644,120

Now matches TaxAct exactly (within rounding).

Use +100 instead of +1 when looking up marginal rates at the high AGI
threshold to avoid float32 precision issues that caused incorrect
comparisons at exactly $25,000,000.

Why do we need a separate function for this? Can we not just do it in the formula? I assume we wont reuse this?

Why not +1 to account for the threshold. Not sure why we need a $100 buffer

📋 PR Review - NY Supplemental Tax Fix for High AGI (>5M)

✅ Summary: APPROVE

This PR correctly fixes a critical bug in the NY supplemental tax calculation for high-income filers (AGI > $25 million).


🔍 The Issue

For NY AGI > $25M, the tax should be calculated as:

Tax = Taxable Income × 10.9% (flat rate on ALL income)

The previous code used thresholds[-1] to detect this threshold, but starting in 2022, the parameter file changed:

- threshold:
    2021-01-01: 25_000_000
    2022-01-01: .inf  # ← Last threshold is now infinity!

Since thresholds[-1] = ∞, the condition ny_agi > agi_limit was never true, so the flat 10.9% recapture was never triggered.


✅ The Fix

Added a helper function get_last_finite_threshold() that returns the last non-infinity threshold:

def get_last_finite_threshold(scale):
    thresholds = scale.thresholds
    if np.isinf(thresholds[-1]):
        return thresholds[-2]  # Returns $25M
    return thresholds[-1]

🟢 Validation Results

Check Result Notes
CI Status ✅ Passing All 10 checks pass
TaxAct Validation ✅ Matches $3,644,120 (exactly matches TaxAct)
Before/After ✅ Fixed $3,494,121 → $3,644,120 ($150K difference corrected)
Test Coverage ✅ Good Integration test + 2024 unit test added
Hard-coded values ✅ None Uses parameter thresholds dynamically

✅ Test Cases Added

  1. Integration test (integration.yaml): Single filer with $33.4M AGI → $3,644,120 tax
  2. Unit test (ny_supplemental_tax.yaml): 2024 single filer with AGI > $25M verifying the flat 10.9% calculation

🟡 Minor Suggestions (Optional)

  1. Changelog wording: Change "filters" to "filers":

    - Add NY tax calculation for filers with AGI above $25 million integration test.
  2. Reference: Consider adding the IT-201 worksheet reference (Worksheet 11) to the variable docstring.


🚀 Ready to Merge

All CI checks pass and the fix correctly restores the $25M threshold behavior for 2022+ tax years.
