Question

The United States federal personal income tax is calculated based on filing status and taxable income. There are four filing statuses: single filers, married filing jointly, married filing separately, and head of household. The tax rates vary every year. Table 1 shows the rates for 2009. If you are, say, single with a taxable income of $10,000, the first $8,350 is taxed at 10% and the other $1,650 is taxed at 15%. So, your tax is $1,082.5.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS IN JAVA!!

Your program should prompt the user to enter the filing status and taxable income and compute the tax. Enter A for single filers, B for married filing jointly, C for married filing separately, and D for head of household Here are sample runs of the program Sample I Enter the filing status: A Enter the taxable income: 100000 Tax is 21720.0 Sample 2 Enter the filing status: B Enter the taxable income:300339 Tax is 76932.87 Sample 3 Enter the filing status: C Enter the taxable income: 123500 Tax is 29665.5 Sample 4 Enter the filing status: D Enter the taxable income: 4545402 Tax is 1565250.7
