Make ACA marketplace enrollment create filing obligation#7782
Conversation
Receiving APTC requires tax return reconciliation, so takes_up_aca_if_eligible=True should imply is_filer=True. Previously, non-mandatory filers with would_file=False got aca_ptc=0 even when enrolled on the marketplace. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

This is the counterpart to #7753, which proposes gating
aca_ptconis_filer. That approach has the causation backwards — ACA enrollment creates the filing obligation, not the other way around. This PR ensures ACA enrollees are always filers, making the gate in #7753 unnecessary.Test plan
