}

I'm getting a bunch of errors for the if statement section of the program. The error says " ')' expected ".

I know I'm a terrible programmer, but I really need some help here.


Here is the assignment:

Income brackets and tax rates

An individual's marginal income tax bracket depends upon their income and their tax-filing classification.There are six tax brackets for ordinary income (ranging from 10% to 35%) and four classifications: single, married filing jointly (or qualified widow or widower), married filing separately, and head of household.

Marginal Tax Rate
Single Married Filing Jointly or Qualified Widow(er) Married Filing Separately Head of Household
10%
$0 – $7,825 $0 – $15,650 $0 – $7,825 $0 – $11,200
15%
$7,826 – $31,850 $15,651 – $63,700 $7,826 – $31,850 $11,201 – $42,650
25%
$31,851 – $77,100 $63,701 – $128,500 $31,851 – $64,250 $42,651 – $110,100
28%
$77,101 – $160,850 $128,501 – $195,850 $64,251 – $97,925 $110,101 – $178,350
33%
$160,851 – $349,700 $195,851 – $349,700 $97,926 – $174,850 $178,351 – $349,700
35%
$349,701+ $349,701+ $174,851+ $349,701+

An individual pays tax at a given bracket only for each dollar within that bracket's range. For example, a single taxpayer who earned $10,000 in 2007 would be taxed 10% of each dollar earned from the 1st dollar to the 7,825th dollar (10% × $7,825 = $782.50), then 15% of each dollar earned from the 7,826th dollar to the 10,000th dollar (15% × $2,175 = $326.25), for a total of $1,108.75. Notice this amount ($1,108.75) is lower than if the individual had been taxed at 15% on the full $10,000 (for a tax of $1,500). This is because the individual's marginal rate (the percentage tax on the last dollar earned, here 15%) has no effect on the income taxed at a lower bracket (here the first $7,825 of income taxed at 10%). This ensures that every rise in a person's pre-tax salary results in an increase of their after-tax salary, contrary to the popular misconception that being bumped into a higher tax bracket reduces after-tax income.

Only 48 minutes left! Please! Anyone?

Show us the exact error messages(copy/paste, no paraphrasing) also, I understand you are in a time crunch but bumping and asking for immediate help tends to get the post less views and help.

[FlipPoker@gmail.com]

For starters, remove the commas in all of your amounts. That's a syntax error.

[EpyonCustom]

Thanks for the help guys. I removed the commas, which fixed one of the issues, but I don't have time to fix the other issues, so I just submitted the assignment.

This is a lesson to everyone out there...don't procrastinate!
