Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes INCOME TAXESFor interim periods, we recognize income tax expense by applying the estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date results unless this method does not result in a reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense. Each period, the income tax accrual is adjusted to the latest estimate, and the difference from the previously accrued year-to-date balance is adjusted in the current quarter. Changes in profitability estimates in various jurisdictions will impact our quarterly effective income tax rates.The tax provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 24% and 25%, respectively, excluding discrete items discussed below. The total effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 22%, compared to 23% for the comparable period in 2021. We recognized a net discrete tax benefit of $9 million and $5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with the most significant benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation for both periods.
