I did 2 chats with Walmart. During the second one I was told "I am sorry to inform you that this card is for ebooks, so the card will have taxes."

I pointed out I could also use a Google Play gift card or the ITunes card to buy ebooks and I wouldn't be charged tax to buy those cards so that didn't make any sense.

He said he would leave feedback, but could not guarantee me they will remove the taxes.

So I filed a request/complaint with the state's taxpayer advocate office.
