Anyone who paid the long-distance telephone tax will get the refund on their 2006 federal income tax return. The telephone tax refund is a one-time payment available on your 2006 federal income tax return. It’s available to anyone (individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations) who paid long-distance taxes on landline, cell phone or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service. The IRS is offering a standard refund amount of between $30 and $60, so you don’t need to gather old phone bills. Taxpayers who choose the standard amount will only need to fill out one line on their tax returns.
