You should write
if (Marital_status == "m" || Marital_status == "M")
Your variant of code try to convert address of "M" to bool (and this is always true).
Edit: same should be done with "S".

i still have the same problem.
If an user types "m" the application reports single" and vice versa.
Maybe this is your error?
Or maybe I don't understand your question. Can you show your input and desired output?
It looks like you have the program to send out data for single tax if they select married and vice versa.
now i am trying to add a while loop so the program will only exit if you put 0 or a lower number.
while(num > 0)
{
...
...
}
