    Default Need help with input/output error

    I am writing a program that needs me to input the assessed value of a home and then the output should be stored in a file. The program deals with property tax. I'm getting the error

    Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException
    at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:840)
    at java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1461)
    at java.util.Scanner.nextDouble(Scanner.java:2387)
    at Problem4.main(Problem4.java:33)

    Here is my full code


    // Stefan Springhetti
    // Problem4
    // 2/1/2001
     
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
     
    public class Problem4 {
     
    			public static void main(String[] args)
    											throws FileNotFoundException
    			{
    			String inputStr;
    			double assessedValue; 
    			double taxableAmount;
    			double taxRate;
    			double propertyTax;
     
     
    			taxableAmount = .92 * assessedValue;
    			taxRate = 1.05;
    			propertyTax = 1.05 * 92;
     
    			Scanner inFile =
    				new Scanner(new FileReader("tax.dat"));
     
    			PrintWriter outFile = new PrintWriter("output.dat");
     
    			inputStr = JOptionPane.showInputDialog
    									("Enter the assessed value");
    			assessedValue = Double.parseDouble(inputStr);
     
     
    			outFile.printf("Assesed Value: $" + String.format("%.2f", assessedValue) + "\n"
    			+ "Taxable Amount: $" +  String.format("%.2f", taxableAmount)+ "\n"
    			+ "Tax Rate: $" + String.format("%.2f", taxRate) + "\n" 
    			+ "Property Tax: $" + String.format("%.2f", propertyTax));
     
     
    			outFile.close(); 
     
    			}
    }
