My Mom recently told me about this one time tax refund available this year. Check it out!!!!

Several recent federal court decisions have held that the tax does not apply to long-distance service as it is billed today. The IRS is following these decisions and refunding the portion of the tax charged on long-distance calls. The IRS is also refunding taxes collected on telephone service under plans that do not differentiate between long distance and local calls including bundled service.

The telephone tax continues to apply to local-only service, and the IRS is not refunding taxes charged on local-only service.

The IRS will refund to you the taxes on long-distance or bundled service billed to you for the period after Feb. 28, 2003 and before Aug. 1, 2006. Taxpayers should request this refund when they file their 2006 tax returns.

I was doing a rough estimate of my refund the other day on turbotax.com I think and it prompted me to use that. I think it deducts $60 from your tax or adds $60 to your refund, but don't quote me on that!
