the 1.29 billion figure comes from the following sentence from their press release:
The majority of TAC expense is related to amounts ultimately paid to our AdSense partners, which totaled $1.29 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008. TAC is also related to amounts ultimately paid to certain distribution partners and others who direct traffic to our website, which totaled $190 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
TAC = Traffic Acquisition Costs

added: although this looks like a flattening of total adsense payouts, i should add that on the earnings call, Johnathan Rosenberg (Senior Vice President, Product Management) said:
AdSense revenue was weaker, though AdSense for content was strong. When it comes to AdSense for Search, we did a lot of arbitrage cleanup in Q3 and Q4
In Austria, I make my tax declaration.
Based on this tax declaration, I have to pay for the expected income tax of the next year.
But it's possible to request lower pre payments, but there has to be a good reason, something like this.
