I am writing a program for an income tax calculator and the project has a class and a tester class. It is suppose to calculate the income tax of the amount I enter but it is not working out so well. I would appreciate any help because I am definitely stuck on this.

For a start change

    TaxReturn theCalculator = new TaxReturn(income);
    System.out.println("The amount of tax is: " + taxReturn.getTax());

to

    TaxReturn theCalculator = new TaxReturn(income);
    System.out.println("The amount of tax is: " + theCalculator .getTax());

Also your Constructor throws an Exception, but does not declare that it is going to.

so change to

public TaxReturn(double income) throw IllegalArgumentException { ....
