Anybody have an extra $3 million they could spare??
 

Many NH residents not claiming one-time tax refund


PORTSMOUTH (AP) - The IRS says it looks like many New Hampshire residents are overlooking a chance to boost their tax refunds this year.

New Hampshire has the third-lowest percentage in the nation of taxpayers including a federal telephone excise tax refund. The refund is worth $30-$60.

The IRS says nearly 99,000 returns filed in New Hampshire did not claim the telephone refund, meaning about $3 million in refunds was not credited.

The government stopped collecting the tax last year after several courts ruled the tax was being applied incorrectly.

TaxCut automatically dropped it in for me. I got mine.:D

This made up a large percentage of my $98 return this year. Woo-hoo!!
And then I applied that to my $370 March oil bill. Double woo-hoo!! Rolling in the dough, going up-town with all these tax breaks. Passing out the cigars. Patting myself on the back. Test-driving the Jag. Trying on the Rolex. And all those other rich-guy activities I've heard about for so long...

The reason for the tax in the first place
 

My tax accountant told me that the tax $$$ are being returned because the tax was originally levied to pay for the Spanish-American war and that it suddenly occurred to someone that the war must have been paid for by now.
