Hello everyone,
I have a question. Actually, I am filing 1040 for the year 2006. I had phone during the period Feb. 28, 2003, and Aug. 1, 2006. That was a family plan & bill was paid by my Brother in law & I used to pay partial bill to him. I want to know whether I am eligible for this credit or not. I am not going to be claimed as a dependent on anyone else's tax return.

The person in whose name the service was provided can get the refund.
Perhaps you could split it. It's really not that much ($30-50).

You especially plenty might desire to take the widely used deduction. they gained't permit you e-report in case you're taking better than that. i don't think of you will run into a lot of a difficulty not having your costs because of fact the government is getting over huge time in this one. Like yet another answer suggested, many families had better than one telephone form for it. I regarded at one in all my cellular telephone costs from 2003 and the excise tax became $a million.fifty two. on a similar time, I had a house telephone. they're refunding 40 months of costs and the optimal is $60.00 besides the fact that in case you had a cellular and a house telephone or 2 cellular telephones in case you have been married. WTF?!?!?!?!?!? So, It probably does not count, merely take the deduction because you do not might desire to have the certainly costs to get the widely used.

Answer # 2 is correct unless you have all the bills and want to fill out the form with the actual amount. The amount is based on exemptions/deductions (ie 1=$30, 2=$40,etc.).

Are you using Turbo Tax? It showed up automatically for me. Honestly, I think it's pretty much offered to anyone who paid for long distance service during that period. It was a settlement from the phone companies.
You might want to chat with a CPA just to be sure.

I believe the phone had to be in your name to officially qualify. If you claim the standard amount, I doubt the IRS will bother to check.
