Income Taxes	Note 15. Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2020 was (22.0)% and (14.3)%, respectively, compared to the statutory rate of (21)%. In the second quarter and first half of 2020, we incurred special charges and an inventory charge in a non-U.S. jurisdiction where tax benefits cannot be realized, which were partially offset by a $14 million benefit recognized upon the release of a valuation allowance in a non-U.S. jurisdiction. In the first half of 2020, these items had a more significant impact on the effective tax rate due to the lower loss before income taxes for the period. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2019 was 22.2% and 19.3%, respectively. In the first half of 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a $12 million benefit recognized for additional research credits related to prior years.
