What is it you want to transfer to a function?
You already have getData as a function (albeit not a particularly useful example of one).

If you are unsure, try thinking of how you want the program to work in logical chunks (ignore the code at this point).
EG
1) Check if Married or Single
2) Enter Salary, Pension & Children as applicable to marital status.
3) Calculate Taxes
Which would indicate 3 functions as a starting point.
Entering the Salary, Pension & Childern could then be split into separate functions called as required to avoid duplication, etc.

Once you know what you want you cna try coding it, and ask if you are stuck on a particular problem.
