# This program computes taxes for 2009
# based on user's salary and deductions. This information is
# entered by the user.
#
# To calculate the federal taxes the program
# uses the following formula: (salary - deductions) x 28%
#
# The state taxes are computed using this formula:
# (salary - deductions - 1000) x 5%
