Calibrate OBBBA deduction aggregates to JCX-45-25 static tax-expenditure lines #586

Description

@MaxGhenis

JCX-45-25 (December 2025 tax-expenditure report, post-OBBBA) publishes static, each-alone FY lines for four of the five OBBBA individual provisions — Table 1, individuals column (mapping verified on the employer-FICA-tips credit row and by row-sum checks):

Provision FY2026 ($B) FY2027 ($B) Downstream repeal score on Build P ($B) Diff vs FY2026
Deduction for overtime pay 21.9 22.4 22.2 +1.5%
Enhanced deduction for seniors 22.4 22.7 18.5 −17%
Deduction for tips 6.9 7.2 1.8 −73%
Deduction for interest on personal vehicle loans 6.2 8.6 1.1 −83%
Non-itemizer charitable — (folded into charitable TE) 3.9

Proposal: add these as calibration targets (or validation-surface benchmarks) in the jct.tax_expenditures source family — same schema as #519's five entries. Notes from the decomposition:

These four lines would complete static-frame coverage of the OBBBA individual provisions alongside the #519 ALD/CDCC refs. Source: https://www.jct.gov/getattachment/8c830c45-1680-4f7e-a649-2a0106f6b6e3/x-45-25.pdf
