The following link would give you all of the information you would ever need to know.

You could have found that yourself if you were not so "frickin" lazy and disrespectful to your Mother!

And the range is from $30-$60 depending on the number of exemptions you have.

basically it's a tax that they imposed in 1898 on phone lines with long distance that was supposed to pay for the Spanish-American war but for some reason, they never took it out so now they are offering a refund. If you paid that tax on a phone line (cellphones included) between 2003 and 2006, you will get a refund between $30-$50 depending on the number of persons you are claiming onn your return.

For 2006 returns, there was a one time refund for a overpaid "Telephone Excise Tax" on your income tax return.

As long as you had a phone with long distance, you were eligible for a small ($30,$40, or $50) refund.

Many people who did thier own returns missed it on the forms.
