What is it?
The Telephone Tax Refund is a one-time payment available to you on your 2006
federal income tax return. It is available to anyone who paid long-distance
taxes on landline, cell phone, or internet phone service.
What do I get?
You can get cash back from the government as part of your yearly tax return. The
IRS will refund you any taxes you paid on long-distance service between
February 28, 2003 and August 1, 2006. Another option is to claim the standard
refund amount, which is for taxpayers who don’t have all of their old phone
bills. It is worth $30 for taxpayers claiming one exemption, $40 for two, $50
for three, and $60 for taxpayers claiming four or more exemptions.
The Telephone Tax Refund is fully refundable, which means that you can
get more money back from the government than you actually paid in taxes
throughout the year. For example, let's say you qualify for a credit of $60;
even if you owe less than $60 in taxes, you can still get the full $60 refunded
to you.
