Feature Request from TaxBrain Power User #126

Open crholb opened 4 years ago

crholb commented 4 years ago

I'm not a coder or anything, so I'm not sure if this is a big ask, but I would so appreciate the ability to add more marginal brackets than just eight, maybe as many as fifteen or twenty. --and further, it would be interesting to be able to modify economic parameters. I'm not sure what parametersTaxBrain uses, but it would be cool if you could modify parameters for GDP/inflation. Also, I'd like to express my gratitude for the additions that have been made to TaxBrain since I started using it two or three years ago. Great work!

Hey @crholb, thanks for opening this issue.

Implementing this would require changing the underlying Tax-Calculator model that TaxBrain interfaces with (you can learn more about that model here) so it would take some time to get done. I can talk with the Tax-Calc team about adding a feature like this, but I can't promise that it could happen anytime soon.

This is more doable because Tax-Calc already has these capabilities. I'm going to play around with how we can bring them to TaxBrain. Check back in a few weeks and I should be able to give you a more concrete timeline for getting it done.
