Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Note 14. Income Taxes As of the first quarter of 2020, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 25.2%. This rate reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of 21.2% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $28 million, primarily driven by a $22 million net benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions. As of the first quarter of 2019, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 25.9%. This reflected the impact of unfavorable foreign provisions under U.S. tax laws and our tax related to earnings from equity method investments (the earnings are reported separately on our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes), partially offset by favorable impacts from the mix of pre-tax income in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of 19.4% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $63 million, primarily driven by $60 million of benefit from the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in various jurisdictions.
