Else If question

jkretzer (34)
My code is computing taxes. The user inputs how they are filing and their taxable income. I am trying to display "Error: Invalid income" if the income entered is less than 0. Can someone please take a look at this and help me? Thanks

	}


When this outputs it reads something like this...


Error: Invalid income Tax is 0


How do I get this to read stictley Error:Invalid income

Don't display the results near the end of your code where you have cout << "Tax is "...
You can use the if stament here too.
