It's technically owned by the IRS, and the people.

That's not what a tax write-off is. The IRS didn't give them any money. They just acknowledged that WB spent $30 million on something that was business related. Literally every dollar that a business spends on itself to continue running is a "tax write-off". The 165 million that Interstellar cost was also written-off against their taxes to reduce their tax burden. Businesses are taxed on their profits, not their revenue.
