If your intent on going after the universal programs this way, could you just lower the tax brackets for 1 year?

Not specific, just round numbers for ease;
Instead of 0% under $20K, do 0% under $17K.
Instead of 10% $20-$50k, do 10% $17-$47K
Instead of 15% $50-$100k, do 15% $47-$97K
......

Same effect, but simpler than adding a line to tax returns, and reminding people to claim it.
