Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES 2017 Tax Act On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law tax legislation known as the 2017 Tax Act. The 2017 Tax Act changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation and included a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, the implementation of a territorial tax system and the imposition of a tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2018, the 2017 Tax Act also includes a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries, a base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) measure that taxes certain payments between a U.S. corporation and its subsidiaries and a foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”) deduction which would reduce U.S. taxable income. Kodak provided the applicable provisional tax impacts in its consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 which were fully offset by Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance resulting in no net tax provision. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, Kodak is still evaluating the effects and has not yet determined its accounting policy. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Kodak is still evaluating the GILTI provisions and the analysis of future taxable income that is subject to GILTI. Therefore, Kodak has included GILTI related to current year operations only in its estimated annual effective tax rate and has not provided additional GILTI on deferred items. The impact was fully offset by Kodak’s U.S. valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax provision. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (“SAB 118”) addresses the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act. Kodak has recognized the provisional tax impacts to the extent needed and included these amounts in its consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The ultimate impact may materially differ from these provisional amounts as a result of additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions Kodak has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, actions Kodak may take as a result of the 2017 Tax Act and other factors. The accounting is expected to be complete when the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018. IRS and Korean National Tax Service Agreement In June 2012, Kodak filed a Request for Competent Authority Assistance with the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The request related to a potential double taxation issue with respect to patent licensing royalty payments received by Kodak in 2010. In October 2018, an agreement was reached by the IRS and Korean National Tax Service, resulting in a partial refund of Korean withholding taxes in the amount of $32 million. Kodak had previously agreed with the licensee that made the royalty payments that any refunds of the related Korean withholding taxes would be shared equally between Kodak and the licensee. Kodak received the $16 million net payment in the fourth quarter of 2018. The full $32 million refund will be reflected as an income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2018. The $16 million payment to the licensee will reduce net income, resulting in a net benefit to net income of $16 million. Kodak’s income tax provision (benefit) and effective tax rate were as follows:

(in millions) |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes |  | $ | 24 |  |  | $ | (58 | ) |  | $ | 11 |  |  | $ | (37 | )
Effective tax rate |  |  | 20.8 | % |  |  | 22.4 | % |  |  | 118.2 | % |  |  | 16.2 | %
Provision (benefit) for income taxes |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | (13 | ) |  |  | 13 |  |  |  | (6 | )
Provision (benefit) for income taxes at U.S. statutory tax rate |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | (20 | ) |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | (13 | )
Difference between tax at effective vs. statutory rate |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 11 |  |  | $ | 7 |
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the difference between Kodak’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0%, is primarily attributable to: (1) the impact related to existing valuation allowances associated with changes in net deferred tax assets from current earnings and losses, (2) the results from operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) a benefit associated with foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and (4) changes in audit reserves, including a settlement with a taxing authority in a location outside the U.S. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the difference between Kodak’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) the impact related to existing valuation allowances associated with changes in net deferred tax assets from current earnings and losses, (2) the results from operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S. and (3) changes in audit reserves, including a settlement with a taxing authority in a location outside the U.S. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the difference between Kodak’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to: (1) the impact related to existing valuation allowances associated with changes in net deferred tax assets from current earnings and losses, (2) the results from operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S., (3) a benefit associated with the tax impact of a goodwill impairment, and (4) changes in audit reserves, including settlements with taxing authorities in locations outside the U.S.
