Currently we levy self-employment taxes on s_corp_self_employment_income:

SEI_SOURCES = [
"self_employment_income",
"farm_income",
"s_corp_self_employment_income",
]

This is incorrect - S-corp distributions are not subject to SE tax. The variable is also not used elsewhere in the code, and its description suggesting it's included in partnership_s_corp_income is wrong, as that variable has no formula and comes straight from the PUF.

Changes needed:

  1. Remove s_corp_self_employment_income variable
  2. Update taxable_self_employment_income formula to use only:
    • Schedule C income (self_employment_income)
    • Schedule F income (farm_income)
    • Partnership portion of distributions (to be added, see related issue in policyengine-us-data)
