+PolicyEngine-US separately supports `partnership_self_employment_net_earnings`
+for partnership income subject to self-employment tax from Schedule K-1 Box 14.
+TAXSIM-35 has no separate input for that allocation, so policyengine-taxsim
+does not populate `partnership_self_employment_net_earnings`. Use `psemp` and
+`ssemp` for TAXSIM self-employment income, and use `scorp` and `pbusinc` for
+TAXSIM's S-corp and QBID fields.
