Summary

  • Adds Pennsylvania's standard Property Tax/Rent Rebate eligibility and 2025 PA-1000 income-based rebate table: $1,000 / $770 / $460 / $380 through the $48,110 income limit.
  • Models PA-1000 rebate income instead of plain federal AGI, including half-counted Social Security, reported SSI, and railroad benefits, and adding available tax-exempt interest and retirement income.
  • Caps homeowner rebates by property tax paid and renter rebates by 20% of eligible rent paid, with the combined owner/renter amount still capped by the standard rebate table.
  • Models senior/spouse, widow(er), and disabled-adult eligibility, including a widowed filer marker outside federal surviving-spouse filing status.

Closes #8181.

Limitations

  • This PR models the standard rebate table and leaves supplemental rebates for follow-up.
  • This PR does not model PA-1000 schedule adjustments for partial-year/decedent claims, remarried widow(er)s, public-assistance rent reductions, business use of the residence, shared ownership/leases, annualized-income alternatives, or tax-exempt landlord/PILOT renter restrictions.
  • PA-1000-only income sources that are not represented by available model inputs remain out of scope.
