    Refund getRefund = new getRefund(salaryIncome, interestIncome, itemizedDeductions, exemptions, taxWithheld);

    jtfRefund.setText(refund.getRefund());

    I get an error for these two lines that reads: getRefund cannot be resolved and refund cannot be resolved.
    Also I am not getting any results to display inside the Refund label box.

    I get an error for these two lines that reads: getRefund cannot be resolved and refund cannot be resolved.
    Where are those variables defined? The compiler can not find a definition for them that is in scope where they are being used.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
