Special One Time Tax Credit On 2006 Tax Return

Yes, this is true and it comes right from the IRS website!
(Thanks Carol (WOW) for pointing that out.)
"The Telephone Excise Tax Refund (TETR) is a one-time payment available on your 2006 federal income tax return. It is designed to refund previously collected long distance telephone taxes. Individuals, businesses and tax-exempt organizations are eligible to request it. This refund will be the most wide-reaching in IRS history - more than 159 million filers may request it."
