What is the name of your state? MA
Instead of taking the standard amount offered by the Gov. I am planning on adding up all the Fed. excise tax stated on my bills. Then I noticed that Nextel/Sprint had charged me an additional "Federal - Univ Serv Assessment, Federal - Programs Cost Recovery, and Federal - TRS Charge". At the bottom of the bill it states - "Fees Nextel elects to collect to recover its costs of funding and complying with gov. mandates and initiatives."
Does anyone know if we can claim these extra charges made by the phone company?
Because if the company claims this back from the Gov. wouldn't they be paid twice ?!?!
It may not seem like a lot to most people, but my phone bills are like $200/mnth so it'll definitely add up if i can claim this.
Thanks!
