That is a good fucking question. An *excellent* question. Good luck finding fats like that for public companies. Because among all the reporting requirements for publicly held companies, listing "amount of federal income tax paid" is not one of them. It could be, the standards setting decision makers (I don't know who that is, sorry) could make that a requirement like all the other metrics that are required reporting. Certainly such a figure exists, but it is not reported.

Good luck finding that value.
