This pull request corrects the calculation of income taxes after 2010 when the temporary credit for motor vehicle purchases lapsed. Tax-Calculator was incorrectly assuming this credit was still part of the tax law.

This logic correction has a tiny effect on simulated income tax liabilities: about a 0.03 percent rise in most years. And it has a rounding-error effect in a some years for a few of the comparison reforms.

The e15360 variable will be removed from the VALID_READ_VARS set when the next version of the puf.csv file is distributed.

This pull request resolves issue #741.

Merging #746 into master will not change coverage
