Calculation Components and Component Groups on Calculation Cards for the US

When viewing a card through the Calculation Cards task, the Calculation Card Overview section shows a hierarchy of calculation components within component groups.

Each component relates to an element, such as an income tax deduction. Adding a calculation component to the card creates an entry for the related element.

A calculation component could have one or more references that define its context, such as the employee's place of residence or tax filing status.
