John:

We discussed this several days (weeks?) ago. AMD can use the tax benefit to offset taxes paid from the past two years, and/or up to 20 years into the future. They paid about $250M in income taxes in 2000, so I believe they could either refile the 2000 return and get a cash refund, or use the benefit in the future to offset taxes paid. Looks like AMD has about $1B in cash and short-term investments, along with $1.1B in total current liabilities. So it looks like they might need that cash refund. The detail I don't know about is whether AMD has to wait until the full-year results are in to file an amended return for 2000, or whether they could do it now. Qgambit helped on this before - do you know?
