Closes #7290
Summary
Missouri income tax now correctly handles capital loss deductions for joint filers where one spouse has no income.
Changes
mo_adjusted_gross_incometo allocate above-the-line deductions proportionally by gross income rather than equally between spousesRoot Cause
The previous implementation split above-the-line deductions equally between spouses. When one spouse had no income, their share of the deduction was "lost" because they couldn't use it (the
max_(0, fed_agi)would clip it). This caused MO AGI to be higher than federal AGI for joint filers with capital losses and unequal income.Test
