- rule
- Resolve from the first IRS SOI Publication 1304 Table 3.3 print for tax year 2027: All returns, total row; Refundable child tax credit or additional child tax credit; Number of returns. Multiply the published whole-return count by 0.000001 and retain six decimal places in millions. Later revisions are irrelevant. The registered IRS release window is 2029-01-01 through 2029-12-31, with 2029-12-31 retained as the registered resolutionDate because no exact IRS publication-calendar day is registered. Evaluate the condition on 2027-12-31; if the condition fails, mark this conditional cell unresolved rather than resolving it from the tax-year print.
