Which businesses got part of Tennessee's $1.5 billion tax refund

Zoom in: The state is not disclosing exactly how much each company received. Instead, the results are grouped into brackets: refunds of $750 or less, refunds ranging from $750-$10,000, and refunds of more than $10,000.

• More than 58,000 entities are included on the refund list. Many companies have multiple entries, reflecting various subsidiaries that got refunds.
• Companies listed in the highest refund bracket included FedEx (which had 12 separate entries), Amazon, Dollar General and Gov. Bill Lee's family business the Lee Company.

Flashback: Supporters of the tax cut, including Lee, argued the design of Tennessee's franchise tax on businesses violated the U.S. Constitution. They said a cadre of Tennessee businesses could sue the state unless lawmakers approved a change that slashed collections.

• Opponents said Republican leaders were acting too quickly to appease businesses before considering less costly options.
