Basically the different factors, filing status, exemptions, etc that 
effect the tax table calculations do not change the algorithm, but 
generally affect the point at which different tax rates take effect. 

Modeling these algorithms will provide a much easier method for updating 
tax rate tables then relying on date entry for each table.
