Hard to figure exactly what the taxes would be on only one line since I have two, but if I'm reading the e-bill correctly here's what I'm paying:
Basic local service $11.75
Caller ID name & number $9.65
Unlisted number $2.31
Federal subscriber line charge $10.42 (I think this is 2x $5.21)
Garbage/federal/state/local taxes $11.46
So it looks like a stripped down line should run:
Basic local service $11.75
Federal SL charge $5.21
Taxes ~$6 - $7
Total $23-24
There are no taxes assessed on the DSL fee. (YET!)
