There are seperate wiretapping laws for both federal and state governments. At the Federal level there is the "one-party consent" law which requires the consent to tape the conversation by at least one of the parties involved.

In most states, it is legal to record phone conversations. Some states have laws that require both parties to agree to the recording of the conversation in order for it to be legal. In most cases, conversations recorded without an individual's knowledge are not admissable in court unless the recordings were authorized beforehand by the court.
