The tax you are paying is your state's 6.625% tax on a $919.99 purchase.
$919.99 - 6.625% = $60.9493375 which looks like is being rounded up to $61 tax. Call EVGA and demand your nickel in compensation
You aren't paying tax on just the $276.38 if that's your confusion. You are being charged tax on the $919.99 MSRP of the new product. EVGA considers item bought through step up as new purchases and thus are taxed as so. EVGA isn't keeping your $61, that gets paid to your state.
I'm not sure why you think you'd have to pay $61 again in tax to ship your card back to them. You pay the $276.38 and then ship them back your card and that's it. Mind you, that you will be responsible for covering shipping the card back to them of course, but you won't have to pay taxes on your card again.
