    You can't have code between the int main() and the first brace. All that code should be after the brace. Also, watch typos, (like missing underscores when typing variable names).

    You're also missing a semicolon here:
    Code:
    cout<<"Anual Income = $" <<anual_income<<endl
    dwk

    No, that statement continues on the next line, so no semicolon is needed, although that's probably not the clearest way to do write it anyway.

    Oops.

    This
    Code:
    	if (anual_income<=12000)
    	tax_due=a;
    
    	else if ((anual_income>12000) && (anual_income<=25000))
    	tax_due=(anual_income-12000)*b;
    
    	else if (anual_income>25000)
    	tax due=((anual_income-25000)*c)+d;
    has several redundant expressions, marked in red. (That's what else statements do, you know. They only execute if the if was false.)
