My output:
Income = $228000
Deductions = $3450
Taxable Income = $224550
Tax Group = P
Correct Output:
Income = $228000.0
Deductions = $3450.0
Taxable income = $224550.0
Tax group = Q
I believe the issue is in this method. I pass the char taxGroup as an argument in the taxGroup method but it is not being updated by the for-loop. I think it may have something to do with the variable being declared in the main method?? Thanks in advance for any help.
As you can see from the output my income, deductions, and taxable income are all correct. The only thing that is wrong is the Tax group.
