Calculate income tax based on state

About

This is a simple application which allows you to use the function and calculate (roughly) what you income taxes should be. This is for other developers who want a function to quickly calculate state income tax based on their state and income. This information should be used for FUN only, I am not an accountant :).

How to use this?

As a Function you can: With the states_itax.py and tax_dict.py in your repository: import states_income_tax as si

si.calculate_itaxes(700, 'AL')

How the Data was Compiled.

I got the data from this project on https://taxfoundation.org/facts-and-figures-2020/ Then I converted the exel document to a CSV file. Then I developed and ran the pycsv.py file included in the document and took the printed result and set that as a dictionary stored in the tax_dict.py file.

How this works!

This dictionary (in tax_dict.py) allows the main function in states_income_tax/init.py to take your income and state and give you your estimated state income tax.

Testing

The testing is currently in tests/test_states.py. As time goes I am working on adding new tests in there.
