Norse Co, a calendar-year taxpayer, received a check for $180,000 in payment for services rendered as a commissioned sales agent near the end of 2017. In 2018, the customer discovered that the commission was incorrectly computed on the sale, and Norse Inc. refunded $30,000 of the $180,000 to the customer.
