The subtotal of your items is: 26010.850000000002
The total amount of your items plus tax is: 27,571.50

My question here is, why does my subtotal have so many decimals when I never
went above 2 in my input?

Thanks in advance,
J

Brett Ritter has already answered your question, but a web search would have found the answer a lot faster, as this has been asked umpteen times on Python lists alone. Also note that if you'd have formatted the output in the same way that you did for the total you'd never have noticed.
