Since many states use the same 'basic' tax system, surely simplest to do
this from the mainline:

StateTaxes(StateCode)

and then in the StateTaxes procedure, simply have separate procedures (or,
gasp, subroutines) for the 'exception' states, otherwise do standard
processing, e.g.:

select;
  when StateCode = 'NY';
    StateTaxesNY();
  when StateCode = 'CT';
    StateTaxesCT();
  when StateCode = 'CA';
    StateTaxesCA();
  other
    ...processing for all 'standard' states goes here...
endsl;
