There is an interactive timeline where you can learn about the tax and how it came to become part of American history in 1898. There are step-by-step instructions on how to get your full phone tax refund amount back as well (via the full-audit method). Businesses and non-profits can calculate their precise returns on the “Tell Your Boss” section of the web site. They can even download the forms, fill in the proper amounts, then print off the actual IRS 8913 form and file for a refund. Depending on phone usage, this could be tens of thousands of dollars. http://www.refundsforgood.org/business_refund.php All of this information is provided for free. Our hope is that some people, who are able to, will contribute their phone excise tax to one of the worthwhile non-profits on the portal. We have celebrity endorsements on the site such as Martin Sheen, Larry Hagman ("JR"), Ed Begley Jr. and Nate Corddry (from the Daily Show) -- along with 13 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates from the Dalai Lama to Bishop Tutu.

The refund, with interest, is almost 1.5 times your average monthly pre-tax long distance and wireless usage. If you're on a $79.99/month plan, you'll get back almost $120. And for cell phones, you don't necessarily need to have your bills handy. Check out www.PhoneTaxRefundCalculator.com and read the FAQ's for more insight. Don’t settle for just $30-$60.
