Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted the amendments in this ASU to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The amendments clarified that an entity may elect, but is not required, to reflect an allocation of consolidated current and deferred tax expense for non-taxable legal entities that are treated as disregarded by taxing authorities in their separately issued financial statements. With the adoption of the amendments in ASU 2019-12, Ford Credit’s separately issued financial statements no longer reflect an allocation of our consolidated U.S. current and deferred tax expense to it and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries that are treated as disregarded entities for U.S. tax purposes. Adoption of these amendments reduces complexity in accounting for income taxes and better reflects Ford Credit’s external obligations to tax authorities. Following the adoption, in April 2021, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Tax Sharing Agreement with Ford Credit. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 and the Second Amended and Restated Tax Sharing Agreement had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. The amendments were adopted on a retrospective basis and are reflected in Ford Credit’s standalone financial statements and disclosures. ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted the new standard, which simplified guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments and amended certain guidance related to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. There was no impact on the date of adoption. During the first quarter of 2021, we issued convertible notes (see Note 19).
