Brilliant service, quick suggestion - the database that matches IP-to-City that you're using to auto-fill "Your Location" on the "taxesintro" page and others is inaccurate.

Got my city wrong by ~15 miles.

Interesting because it was IDENTICALLY inaccurate to a project I was working on a few weeks ago, we upgraded to http://www.maxmind.com/app/city and that got it dialed in, imagine it would for you too (or if you're using their DB already, pay for the upgrade - we do once a quarter).



Wow, thanks for that. Will definitely look into it.


I filled out the mortgage estimation tool and in three separate cases it suggested trying to find a house with a negative value.


thanks for the note. can you email us at info at smartasset dot com with the inputs you used?
