Someone correct me if I'm wrong, BUT shouldn't that have been non-taxable since no actual sale / exchange of services/goods happened? I figured I'd ask here before attempting to deal with Walmart's disservice desk.
BTW, Walmart is specifically excluded this quarter, so you will not get 5x on Freedom.
