Taxpayers may be entitled to a refund of three years of Federal Excise Tax (FET) payments plus interest (going back to March 1st, 2003). The refund is obtained directly from the IRS, not from Cingular. Taxpayers will be able to apply for the refund on their 2006 tax forms, to be filed in 2007. The Federal Excise Tax was billed at 3% and was applied to the monthly recurring charges, airtime, and toll charges. It did not apply to other charges such as data (Media Net/mMode, text messaging, MMS). You can find FET amounts in the Government Fees and Taxes section of your monthly bills. Cingular discontinued billing for the FET on all billing statements issued after June 6th, 2006. The IRS has a simplified method approved for all individual tax payers. Find out more at www.irs.gov. Copies of invoices from any carrier are not required when using the standard IRS refund. The standard refund amount varies between $30 and $60, based on the total number of exemptions claimed on the 2006 tax return. http://supportcingular.atgnow.com/cng/documentDisplay.do?page=http%3A%2F%2Fsupportcingular.atgnow.com%2Fcng%2Ftutorials%2FKB76417.html&result=0&responseid=0ad7759197425ba4%3A1381e7%3A1118efa6e85%3A3ee4&groupid=1&contextid=23134%3A0.0&clusterName=CingularCluster&doctype=1000&excerpt=What+is+the+Federal+Excise+Tax+%28FET%29+Refund%3F+QUESTION%3A+What+is+the+Federal+Excise+Tax+%28FET%29+Refund%3F+How+can+I+get+the+Federal+Excise+Tax+%28FET%29+Refund%3F+ANSWER%3A+Taxpayers+may+be+entitled+to+a+refund+of+three+years+of+Federal+Excise+Tax+%28FET%29+payments+plus+in#http%253A%252F%252Fsupportcingular.atgnow.com%252Fcng%252Ftutorials%252FKB76417.html
