How will the IRS provide the forms and other information needed by businesses?
Details on the telephone tax refund will be included in all 2006 tax return materials and on this Web site. If a business or tax-exempt organization does not have 41 months of documentation, what are its options? Businesses and tax-exempt organizations need their phone bills dated in April 2006 and September 2006 to figure their long-distance tax percentage for their refund requests. If a business or tax-exempt organization has its expenses broken out by month, all it has to do is add them together in the groups shown on Form 8913, Credit for Federal Telephone Excise Tax Paid. For example, it can add its March, April and May 2003 expenses together to obtain the total amount of telephone expenses it had for this time period. If it does not have its expenses by month, it can estimate the amount for each time period on the Form 8913 by using the average monthly phone expense for each year included in the 41-month refund period. For example, it divides its total telephone expense for 2003
