Paraphrased Text: Microsoft recently revealed that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has requested a substantial amount of unpaid taxes from the tech giant. The IRS is seeking $28.9 billion, excluding penalties and interest, for the years 2004 to 2013. In response, Microsoft argues that it followed IRS regulations and insists it properly allocated profits among various countries and jurisdictions during that period. Additionally, the company claims that the IRS failed to consider $10 billion in tax payments made under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Microsoft has paid over $67 billion in taxes to the U.S. government since 2004. The resolution of this dispute may take several years, according to the company's estimation.
