read very well. I specifically said that they are a US company, with US headquarters (not Ireland), that moved IP to Ireland and pay inflated royalties to use their own IP....that's a sham that congress should have fixed years ago, and the gop certainly should have fixed it in their major overhaul.
-50/100% write-offs of FA
- tax deduction for stock options (that hit GAAP equity)
- research credit CF
Those are likely the reason for amazon's 0% US corporate income tax rate.
If you think the reason is NOLs, then you're dumber than sh it, because the NOLs would have been generated from the above items (BOOK/TAX differences.) Show me a year when Amazon has actually LOST $.
