    For the warning messages you can either use the non-standard function Microsoft recommends scanf_
    s in this case or #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE . Please see this link Security enhancements.

    For the error:

    Code:
    void calcTaxes(double totalIncome, double taxPaid, int numOfDpndnts, double* taxableIncome, double* totalTax, double* taxDue)
    {
        //Statements
        taxableIncome = totalIncome - (numOfDpndnts * DEDN_PER_DPNDNT); // Line 89
    
    Your variable taxableIncome is a pointer to a double and you are trying to assign a double to it. You must add the * in front of taxableIncome.

    Also I get a warning on line 75.

    And line 75 is:
    Code:
       scanf("%lf", numOfDpndnts);
    
    And numOfDpndnts is an int* not a floating point number. So the format specifier should be "%d".

    This warning should also be found by your compiler, but I guess Microsoft is more concerned about "Significant enhancements" that they forget about the real problems.
