    No other U.S.-based company has created more jobs than Amazon over the last decade, and we now have more than 500,000 employees across 40 states in the U.S. See more on our job creation, tax profile, and community work. https://blog.aboutamazon.com/ ...

    Today, @Amazon revealed its 2019 tax payments: $1 billion in Federal tax, plus $4B in state and payroll taxes. That makes its tax rate 6%. That's absurdly low, but also not zero, as some Presidential candidates assert. https://www.geekwire.com/...

    Amazon is sharing more detail than ever before on its federal tax obligation. It's the latest sign of the company's changing PR strategy since it has become a political target. https://www.geekwire.com/...
