If filing taxes Married Filing Seperately, Can both people get the long distance tax credit?

Answer 1

If you had two separate phones you can, such as if you lived separately. But not if you only had one phone, shared between you

Answer 2

If you EACH have a phone (two phone bills) that gets long distance service then you can both take the credit $30 each. You may be further ahead if you file married filing jointly. If one of you has past tax problems read about Injured spouse on page 15 of publication 17.
