if(temp <= 38000)
{
tax = 0.195 * 38000;
}
if(temp>38000 && temp<= 60000)
{
tax=(0.195*38000)+(0.33*22000);

What's taxableIncome? please use code tags!
To solve second error

taxLBL.Text = Convert.ToDouble(taxLBL.Text).ToString();

As Ramy said, Where did you define taxableIncome

okay thanks i have edited my codes and i have another problem
Error: taxableIncome = Convert.ToDouble(userValueTB); -Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.TextBox' to type 'System.IConvertible'.

To solve it and I assume taxableIncome is TextBox or Label

taxableIncome.Text = Convert.ToDouble(userValueTB.Text).ToString();

As Ramy said, Where did you define taxableIncome
