Case contract

Input {gross, taxes, pre_levy_ded, post_levy_ded, status, dependents, freq}. Annual exempt = standard amount (single 14,600, mfj 29,200, hoh 21,900 dollars) + 5,050.00 per dependent (the taxpayer is not a dependent); per-period exempt = annual/periods half-up (weekly 52, biweekly 26, semimonthly 24, monthly 12). Take-home counts only deductions in place before the levy. Levy = max(0, take-home - exempt). Return [exempt, levy].

Why this case matters

A wage levy takes everything above an exempt amount, so the exempt computation and take-home definition decide the whole paycheck.
