Then, it sets the value of `_a6` based on some logical conditions and the values `_a3` and `_a5`. Immediately after this though, there is the line:\r\n\r\n```\r\n_a6 = inc_in\r\n```\r\n\r\nThe computed results (`inc_out`) only involve `_a6` and other values from outside the function, so none of the work for variables `_a1` - `_a5` is used. I commented out that code and got the same answer. Am I missing something?\r\n\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/OpenSourcePolicyCenter/Tax-Calculator/blob/master/translation.py#L1738-L1740\r\n\r\n"}}
