$30 from Uncle Sam
In case you missed it, the US Government has decided to stop charging a special excise tax on long distance phone calls that has existed since the Spanish American War. (Apparently, that war has now been paid for.) Anyway, what this means is that pretty much everyone who has had a phone can get a $30 refund on their taxes (up to $60 if multiple exemptions). So, make sure you look for this special line on your tax return when you complete it this year.

That's awesome. Especially since I'm probably going to recruit you to do my taxes for me anyway... pretty please!
Thanks for that! You are awesome!
Uncle Sam is only coughing up the dough because the courts said they've been illegally collecting the tax for the last few decades. Unfortunately for us, we can only request refunds going back three years under the Internal Revenue Code. For more information, check out http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-06-50.pdf
