Supplemental Cash Flow Information [Abstract]

Net cash paid for income taxes was $84 million in 2020, $103 million in 2019 and $27 million in 2018. Higher tax payments in 2019 were primarily due to increased net income and payments on the tax liability established in 2018 related to U.S. tax legislation.

Cash paid for interest was $75 million in 2020, $76 million in 2019 and $79 million in 2018.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheet to the amount shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows:
