Income Taxes	3 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, were 8.9% and 10.2%, respectively. The change in our reported tax rate for the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, relates primarily to the impact of certain receipts and charges that are taxed at different rates than our effective tax rate and the impact of certain discrete tax items, including intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition- and divestiture-related items, and litigation- and restructuring-related items. In addition, our reported tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 was also impacted by discrete tax items that primarily related to the reinstatement of tax legislation that was retroactively applied, offset in part by the resolution of uncertain tax positions related to audit settlements. As of March 31, 2014, we had $1.034 billion of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which a net $922 million, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2013, we had $1.069 billion of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which a net $939 million, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received a Revenue Agent Report from the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) reflecting significant proposed audit adjustments for our 2008, 2009 and 2010 tax years based upon the same transfer pricing methodologies that are currently being contested in U.S. Tax Court for our tax years from 2001 to 2008. As with the prior years, we disagree with the transfer pricing methodologies being applied by the IRS and we expect to contest any adjustments received through applicable IRS and judicial procedures, as appropriate. We believe that our income tax reserves associated with these matters are adequate as of March 31, 2014; however, final resolution is uncertain and could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no other material changes to significant unresolved matters with the IRS or foreign tax authorities from what we disclosed in our 2013 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. We had $416 million accrued for gross interest and penalties as of March 31, 2014 and $402 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase in gross interest and penalties was $14 million, recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognized net tax expense related to interest of $9 million during the first quarter of 2014 and $9 million during the first quarter of 2013. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will resolve multiple issues including transfer pricing and transactional-related issues with foreign, federal and state taxing authorities, in which case we could record a reduction in our balance of unrecognized tax benefits of up to approximately $15 million.

Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, were 8.9% and 10.2%, respectively. The change in our reported tax rate for the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, relates primarily to the impact of certain receipts and charges that are taxed at different rates than our effective tax rate and the impact of certain discrete tax items, including intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition- and divestiture-related items, and litigation- and restructuring-related items.
