I seem to recall that until NC conformed to federal (around
1990), the tax on local phone service was deductible on the
state return.

Used to get same question about the Alabama gross receipts
tax on electric bills posted as separate item on Alabama
Power bills, which like this one is a tax on the utility and
not on the consumer.

When all else fails, read em the part in publication 17
which says "you" must be reponsible for the tax and "you"
must pay it. Then ask to see their checks to the local
municipality.

I was reading a local message board today and someone posted
that the taxes your local municipality assesses through cell
phone service or landline service for 911 service is a tax
deductible item. Anyone else familiar with this? I've been
doing taxes since 1995 and this is a new one for me. Since
it was a local message board, I have this very unsettling
feeling that we will be getting a lot of questions from
clients about it. We know that many of them read, and post,
to this local message board.
