I had a link emailed to me this morning by a friend that I am pretty sure will interest most of you, especially you married home-owner types.
Here's the link. And here's an excerpt:
In a nutshell, rather than ask everyone to comb through their phone bills for that 41-month period to add up all the tax collected and then submit claims for those amounts, the IRS will offer taxpayers standard refunds of between $30 and $60 (the amount depends on the composition of the household) that they can apply for simply by entering the refund amount appropriate to them on a particular line on their 2006 tax returns. Those who wish to go it the long way by adding everything up to emerge with the precise figure owed them may do so, but in their case applying for the refund will require them to complete and file Form 8913 with their returns.
