IRS Says Taxpayers Can Still Request Phone Refund

According to the IRS, thousands of taxpayers still have the opportunity to collect the one time phone tax refund. Nearly all phone customers, including cell phone customers, are eligible for the refund that over 92.1 million taxpayers, or 71.6% of all individual tax return filers, have already requested. The IRS is encouraging all taxpayers who haven’t filed their tax return yet or who obtained a tax-filing extension earlier this year to remember to include the tax credit when filing their returns. Taxpayers who don’t need to file a regular income-tax return can use Form 1040EZ-T, a special short form for requesting the refund.

IRS Urges Taxpayers To Check Returns

Last week the IRS released statistics on the tax returns that they have received this tax season, and many people are not claiming the phone tax refund. Out of the thirty million tax returns that were filed before February 16th nearly 10 million did not claim the refund. Even more shocking, nearly half of the returns were prepared by a tax preparation office. The IRS is now encouraging taxpayers to check their returns to make sure they are aware of the one time phone tax refund, even if a tax preparation company prepared it.
