www.irs.gov i need to know about federal excise tax?

Answer 1

Hello, JB! If by "federal excise tax" you mean the Telephone Excise Tax Refund, anyone who paid excise tax on long-distance phone service (whether landline, wireless, or VoIP) for the period after Feb. 28, 2003, and before Aug. 1, 2006 is entitled to a refund of actual tax paid or a standard refund of up to $60. The first link below gives full details on who qualifies and how much they can claim.

If you truly want general information on federal excise taxes, IRS Publication 510 explains them in details. Check out the second link below. Good luck! :-)

Answer 2

See http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=164032,00.html

If you are eligible for the credit and file a tax return, you claim it by writing the amount on the line for telephone excise tax credit in the PAYMENTS section of your 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ.

If you are not filing a tax return, you'd fill out a form 1040EZ-
T to claim your return. Do NOT fill out this form if you also filed a tax return - it will be rejected.

If you already filed and forgot to claim the credit, fill out a 1040X amended return to claim it. Use line 15 to show the credit amount.
