The ticket counter that processed the purchase was an Eagle location (Hobby airport) and they had no idea what they were doing… it took them about an hour to figure it out, but I was afraid of the voucher being lost in the mail for such a high amount. (almost $1000)

I thought these kinds of tickets were exempt from some taxes? The breakdown they gave me was:

Fare 227.90
US 17.10
ZP 16.00
XT 26.50
Total $287.50.

Is that correct?!

As there's an extant thread on the topic of voucher use and taxes associated with them, I'll merge your question into it.

Please check out the wiki post for some good information on this topic.
