I'm on a cheap plan from Cingular, paying $50 a month or so on my cell phone. I completed IRS Form 8913 in less than an hour, and the total is over $60. (The form allows you to calculate interest for the money the IRS owes you). So if you are a cell-phone customer, have your phone records, and you have an hour to kill, you can easily make $60 or $70 rather than the standard $30.</p>
