If you do a Merchantile Shop and they pay you "Gift Card Only" and in that, you purchased your dinner, how does that wash, in the tax dept?
Dinner $14.00 (you paid)
Gift Card Reimbursement $40 Gift Card (they give you $40 GC for dinner, no matter how much you spend).
So, is the reported amount, minus the cost for dinner?
Or, do they report to IRS, all what they send you ?
Or, is all this a wash? Like when you buy a burger at 5 Guys and they reimburse you the burger?
