| Oct 2, 2014 at 8:02 | comment | added | Tim Post Staff | Kinda seeing this as a separate feature now, since there are just so many. Matching tax* isn't hard, but there are so many one-off tags to match. What we might be able to do, and I have to look into it, is have a per-site configurable paragraph under the tag input field on the questions/ask page. This is the place to say "If your question goes beyond general fiscal advice that could equally apply to anyone regardless of location, you should consider indicating your location in your question if you'd like to receive a timely answer" or something to that effect. Lemme think on it a spell. | |

| Oct 1, 2014 at 3:17 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | I'd add "student-loan", "education-savings", "mortgage", "pmi", "healthcare", "hsa", "health-spending-account", "flexible-spending-account", "bankruptcy", "foreclosure", "vat", "gst", "withholding", "consumer-protection", "government", "regulation", "estate-planning", "will", and "trust" to the list. | |

| Sep 26, 2014 at 15:13 | comment | added | Alex B | Anyone else have any suggestions for other tags that frequently need locality and would benefit from a prompt? | |
| Sep 26, 2014 at 15:12 | comment | added | Alex B | Thanks! My suggestion for tags is anything that matches "*tax*" (26 tags currently), legal, foreign-exchange, travel, "*insurance" (8 tags currently). | |
