UnitTaxCredits

Field Name: UnitTaxCredits

Data Type: Numeric

We should review the description to make unit tax credits more broad to include future federal tax credits.

The CET will sum UnitTaxCredits values with other benefits in the TRC calculation to reflect the way IRA credits have factored into potential and goals research.
