Core trick

Description
The purpose was to help people who are single, don't have kids, don't own a house file taxes simply. I've seen plugins help with many things I've yet to see anyone meaningfully help others file income taxes. The demo showcases how to do this for people who live in PA. In an ideal world with backing from Anthropic, I would build this to work for people in all states not just: PA, NY, CA and no-income tax states
