Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 14. Income Taxes As of the second quarter of 2020, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excludes discrete tax impacts, was 27.5%. 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 2020 second quarter effective tax rate of 51.7% was unusually high due to a $261 million tax expense incurred in connection with the JDE Peet's transaction (the related gains are reported separately in our statement of earnings and thus not included in earnings before income taxes). Excluding this impact, our second quarter effective tax rate was 12.1% reflecting a discrete net tax benefit of $72 million. The discrete net tax benefit primarily consisted of a $70 million net benefit from the release of a valuation allowance in China as we now expect to utilize prior-year carryforward tax benefits to offset future taxable income. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of 36.0% was also unusually high due to the $261 million net tax expense incurred in connection with the JDE Peet's transaction. Excluding this impact, our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 16.8%, which was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $100 million, primarily driven by the $70 million net benefit from the release of the China valuation allowance and a $24 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 second quarter of 2019, our estimated annual effective tax rate, which excluded discrete tax impacts, was 25.5%. 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 2019 second quarter effective tax rate of 23.1% was impacted by a discrete net tax benefit of $8 million. The discrete net tax benefit primarily consisted of a $24 million net benefit from the release of uncertain tax positions due to the expirations of statutes of limitations and audit settlements in several jurisdictions, partially offset by $15 million expense from U.S. state legislative changes. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of 21.2% was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $71 million, primarily driven by $84 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.
