Hi All:

Last year, Treasury announced it would stop collecting the tax on long-distance service and would refund taxes billed from Feb. 28, 2003, to Aug. 1, 2006.

Hybrid Tax Credit Not Family Friendly

:Banane45: :Banane45:

Our accountant called yesterday -- we’re getting the whole Honda tax credit back in refund--and more. Happy day!
