A one-time transition tax of $71 million on deferred foreign income tax is included for 2017.
[2]
Includes a one-time benefit of $517 million primarily due to the remeasurement of certain net deferred tax liabilities using the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate and a one-time $72 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for foreign tax credit carryforwards for 2017.
[3]
Includes a one-time net benefit primarily due to the remeasurement of certain net deferred tax liabilities using the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate partially offset by the transition tax on deferred foreign income and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets associated with tax law changes and the tax impact from intercompany reorganization activities in 2017 and a net incremental adjustment to those amounts under the Tax Reform Act in 2018 and 2019.
