PR Review: Hawaii 2025 Income Tax Update ✅

Overview

This PR adds 2025 references to 35 Hawaii income tax parameter files and includes 7 comprehensive integration tests for the 2025 tax year.

✅ Verification Summary

Tax Bracket Values (HB 2404):
The 2025 bracket thresholds were previously implemented in the parameter files. I verified them against official Hawaii sources:

Filing Status 1.4% Bracket Top Bracket (11%)
Single/Separate $0-$9,600 Over $325,000
Joint/Surviving $0-$19,200 Over $650,000
Head of Household $0-$14,400 Over $487,500

All values match official sources. ✓

Test Calculations Verified:
I spot-checked the integration test calculations:

  • Single $8,000 income: $8,000 × 1.4% = $112 ✓
  • Single $15,000 income: $9,600 × 1.4% + $4,800 × 3.2% + $600 × 5.5% = $321 ✓
  • Joint $25,000 income: $19,200 × 1.4% + $5,800 × 3.2% = $454.40 ✓

CI Status: All tests passing (only codecov/project threshold warning) ✓

🟢 Positives

  1. Comprehensive test coverage - 7 new integration tests covering all filing statuses
  2. Well-documented tests - Each test includes detailed calculation breakdowns
  3. Consistent references - 2025 form references added uniformly across all parameter files
  4. Official sources used - References to Hawaii N-11 Instructions and Schedule X forms

🟡 Minor Suggestions (Optional)

  1. Reference URL consistency: Some references use /current/ paths (which will always point to latest year) while others use year-specific paths. Consider using year-specific paths (e.g., /2025/n11ins.pdf) for better long-term accuracy.

  2. Changelog bump: The changelog shows patch bump. Given this includes new 2025 test coverage, minor might be more appropriate, but patch is acceptable for reference-only updates.

Recommendation

Approve - This is a clean update that adds 2025 references and comprehensive test coverage. All values verified against official Hawaii Department of Taxation sources.
