The phone Co will not give you a credit. You must take your
credit on your tax return. It will be the 'federal excise
tax' on your long distance for 41 previous months....

In the 1040A instructions Book fm the IRS, It's stated "You
cannot request the credit or refund if you have already
received a credit or refund fm your service Provider" This
sounds like some people might have already received the
credit fm their provider. Am I wrong? I need a little help
on why it's written that way. I just learned about the
credit and want to make sure I am eligible.
