Did you leave money on the table when your company filed its federal taxes last year? Chances are you did. Turns out, of the nearly 14 million companies that were expected to qualify for the rebate of paid phone taxes, fewer than 1 million companies actually claimed it.

In these cash-strapped times, the little bit of extra work might be worth it. And fortunately, there’s still time to file an amended return. Get the details here.
