I thought this tax was removed/repealed several years ago.

So I wonder how much we can get back, and how far back we can reach for it...

The refund will apply to the 3 percent excise tax billed to them on long-distance service since Feb. 28, 2003 and will include interest. Consumers will be able to claim it on their 2006 tax returns, which they will file in 2007.

"Tax refunds happen all the time, but perhaps not on this scale. Every taxpayer that buys landline long-distance has a potential refund claim against IRS," said Sykes. "The problem for ordinary phone subscribers is that they can only reach back three years, and their claim is probably something like $16. Who's going to sit down with their old phone bills and fill out IRS forms for $16?"

He said that corporate customers with larger phone bills stood to gain the most from a refund.

Any time a tax is cut, it's a good thing. It doesn't matter how big or small it is...:thumbsup:

We could turn this tax refund which was unexpected and somewhat small into a donation to the orangemane message board. Let us see 502 viewers today times 16 bucks is $8,032 towards the message board. And it really didn't cost us anything out of per say our pockets.

tax cuts are always good.
