Thanks for that URL Link gary! It does indeed look like taking out the line breaks will work but gosh - that certainly makes for messy code. I wonder if there are any other options where you don't end up with confusing, run on code?

Check the "Whitespace Control" section of this article. It's another way to handle line breaks while maintaining readable code.

Here is an example of the Jinja2 code that I used based off your recommendation that resolved my white space issue:
{%- if a.tax_id != a.$prev.tax_id -%}
tax id changed from {{ a.$prev.tax_id }} to {{ a.tax_id }}
{% endif %}
adding the - sign after the % and before the % on every if statement resolved my issue.
@Mike @Gary - You both are great. I appreciate y'all for helping me resolve this headache of an issue
