Case contract

solve(estate, gifts, dsue): stipulated unified transfer tax in whole dollars. T is the progressive schedule 18% to 10000 rising to 40% above 1000000. The exclusion is 13610000 + dsue; the unified credit is T(exclusion). Tentative tax = T(estate + gifts). Gift credit = max(0, T(gifts) - unified credit). Tax = max(0, tentative - gift credit - unified credit), returned in integer cents.

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.
