How was the standard refund amount for individual taxpayers calculated?
The standard refund amount for individual taxpayers is based on actual telephone usage data; the amount applicable to a family or households reflects the telephone tax paid by similarly sized families or households. Using this amount is the easiest way for individual taxpayers to claim their refunds and to avoid gathering 41 months of past phone bills. For additional information regarding Federal Excise Telephone Tax refunds go to the IRS website.
