I'm getting it in the output file but in "JOptionPane.showInputDialog" dialog
box it's not. Some advise how I can fix this???

import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;

...............................................

	outPut = name + "\n"
	 + String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f%n","Gross Amount: ","$",grossPay)	 
	+ String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f%n","Federal Income Tax: ","$",federalInTax)
	 + String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f%n","State Tax: ","$",stateTax)
	+ String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f%n","Social Security Tax: ","$",socialSecTax)
	 + String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f%n","Medicare/Medic Tax: ","$",
	 medicare)
	 + String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f%n","Pension Plan: ","$",pensionPlan)
	 + String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f%n","Health Insurance: ","$",healthInsurance)
	 + String.format("%-24s%s%8.2f","Net Pay: ","$",netPay);

	
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, outPut, "Employee Payment Info",
				JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

		 
		PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter("edit.txt");

		outFile.printf(outPut);

		outFile.close();

	}

It looks a bit wide to display properly in JOptionPane. It looks like about 250 characters which is a bit excessive - perhaps you use some other component (text area or table) and allow the user to scroll.
