Need info on corporations that don't pay their taxes
Looking for names of corporations and any numbers available. I've found plenty of general info relating to which sectors owe how much, but I would like specific examples. Esp. data on Halliburton.

The report on DoD contractors from the GAO and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations doesn't name names (of course.)

Can you point me in the right direction?


Many thanks.

3. Thanks, but that's not quite what I'm looking for...
There are hundreds of huge corporations who actually owe money to the IRS, don't pay, and the IRS doesn't enforce the law and make them pay. This is different from offshore shelters and loopholes.

2. Verizon LA Times article
Verizon's Deferred Tax Liabilities Too High?

Some wonder whether reported earnings have been too rosy and whether future profit might be damped.

By James S. Granelli, Times Staff Writer


As the nation's biggest telephone company, Verizon Communications Inc. has wrestled with growing competition from cable operators, a slowdown in its conventional land-line business, costly network upgrades and a weakened stock price.

Now, some Wall Street analysts are questioning the rapidly rising amount of money Verizon could owe Uncle Sam.

5. These are the investigations/prosecutions by the IRS Fraud
Unit.

...but you'd need to FOIA request details of all the company names I fear.
