Update DC CTC parameters per DC Code § 47-1806.17 effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025: - Credit amount: $420 -> $1,000 (uprated with CPI, rounded to $5) - Age threshold: under 6 -> under 18 - Child cap: 3 -> no cap (infinite) - Income thresholds lowered: - Single/HOH/Widow: $160,000 -> $55,000 - Joint: $240,000 -> $70,000 - Separate: $120,000 -> $35,000 - Phase-out rate: $20 -> $50 per $1,000 increment Fixes PolicyEngine#7244 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The old DC CTC was repealed before taking effect. Remove all 2025 parameter values and update the refundable credits list to add dc_ctc starting 2026 instead of 2025. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
