Dealing with Instant Transfers from Walmart in Taxomate

How to reconcile Walmart Instant Transfers (early withdrawals) in your accounting software.

If you take an Instant Transfer (early withdrawal) from Walmart, the amount of that withdrawal is included in the Taxomate payout for the period.

For example, you might see a line in the payout with the transaction type Instant Transfer and the description "Funds paid out upon request" (Net Payable), with an invoice amount of -$3,500.00 USD. Taxomate's default account name for this line is "Walmart Instant Transfers."

Why direct matching does not happen

When the Instant Transfer funds reach your bank account, they do not automatically match a separate entry from Taxomate. Walmart usually includes these early withdrawal amounts as a line item in the same payout report that Taxomate processes. It does not issue a completely separate report for them.

Example: manual allocation to a Walmart Instant Transfer account

In some cases you may want to treat Instant Transfers as money moving in and out of a Walmart Instant Transfer account, instead of matching them directly to the payout entry.

Manual allocation steps:

  1. In your accounting software, find your "Walmart Instant Transfer" account.

  2. When an Instant Transfer deposit appears in your bank feed, allocate it to this account by hand.

Example:

  • Taxomate's payout entry shows an Instant Transfer of -$3,500 on the Walmart Instant Transfer line.

  • Walmart separately deposits +$3,500 into your bank account. You allocated it by hand to the Walmart Instant Transfer account.

Why this works:

The -$3,500 in the payout entry reduces your Walmart Instant Transfer balance, and the +$3,500 deposit increases it. These two amounts net to zero in the Walmart Instant Transfer account. Your books stay balanced, and sales, refunds, and fees are not affected. They are recorded as part of the next regular payout.
