ISCT Assignment #3
Decisions
In this assignment you will write a VB .NET project, a tax calculation. These are described below. You are using nested
decision control statements. Professional format is necessary. Make sure to thoroughly test your program. Also,
remember to comment your code, give descriptive names for your controls and variables, and use proper indentation.
Reminders: good programming techniques are required.
Objectives: Decisions, Select Case Statement, If Statements, Currency format, Radio Buttons, Check Boxes, Group

If you have not already had a paying job, when you get your first paycheck, you will notice various taxes are
deducted. The money withheld each pay period is an estimate of what you will owe for the year. At the end of the year,
you will receive an IRP5 that is used to file your taxes with the IRS. This together with other income and deduction will
be used to calculate the exact amount of taxes you will pay the IRS. For this assignment, we are simplifying the process
to allow the user to enter the rand amount that will be taxed and the program should return the tax.
Create a program that calculates the 2010 income taxes for either a single filer or a married filer.

For this program, you MUST use both an IF statement and a SELECT CASE statement (suggestions, use the If statement to
determine if the user is married or single and a Case statement to determine the tax).
