I took out a lot of code, hence all of the variables you can't see, but for some reason, this part is the only one thats screwing up. When you enter zero, its supposed to "cout" a phrase that you don't have money, but when I run it, it tells me when I make 0 dollars a year, I owe 112875 dollars in taxes.

Does anyone see what's wrong with it, or can they run it for me. I have the while file if anyone needs it. But let me know.

Thanks!

//Final output of all tax information

worked for me using VC++ 2008 Express. What compiler and os did you use?

I'm using the same program.

Yours ran a cout when you entered zero? Well, then it's wrong somewhere else. I have four steps of this. Single, Married, Married and Separate and Head of Household. The first two run well and the second 2 fail with the zero test. Hmmmm...

Worked for me too. For the heck of it, maybe change:

double taxes = 0;

to

double taxes = 0.0;

Worked fine for me with the former, but the latter is probably better. Also see this for "void main ()".

Alright! Thanks, I got it to run. Thanks for the help!
