Example:
$ ./tax 100000
You entered 100000
agi = 100000.00
0) tax = 1675.00 (0.10), taxable income = 100000.00
1) tax = 7687.50 (0.15), taxable income = 100000.00
end of tax; bracket=0.25, tax = 8000.00
2) taxable income = 100000.00 => tax = 17362.50
Final tax amount = 17362.50 (17.36%)
The income we enter is the AGI (Adjusted Gross Income), which is our total gross income minus all the deductions.
