Part of the 'avoiding taxes' equation here was giving the government (or setting aside) ~$600 million dollars to pay for oil spill related problems.
So I mean she did avoid paying income tax, but only by giving up $600 million dollars to the government (which flowed back to her personal taxes to offset any income).
