Microsoft makes its home in Redmond, Washington. It has 40,224 employees and 79 physical sites here. Since 1997, Microsoft has dodged $782 million in taxes by recording its software licensing revenue in Nevada.

If this practice is proven to be illegal, the company could owe as much as $1.24 billion with interest and penalties.
