Case contract

solve(nii, magi, status): stipulated 3.8% surtax on the lesser of net investment income and MAGI above the status threshold (single 200000, mfj 250000, mfs 125000), where neither amount counts below zero. Amounts are whole dollars; return the surtax in integer cents rounded half-up.

Why this case matters

Tax computations hinge on which slice, threshold, ordering and rounding rule applies at each step; a misplaced boundary silently misstates liabilities.
