Schedule of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of tax carryovers and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the balances for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

	December 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Total deferred tax liabilities	(3,938)		(4,341)
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)	$	(836)	$	(1,876)

As a result of the R&D capitalization tax law that became effective in 2022, the capitalization of R&D expense amounts resulted in increased taxable income in 2023 and 2022. The capitalized R&D will be amortized and become deductible in future periods. Therefore, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for the capitalized R&D expenditures.

As a result of the acquisition of Xilinx in 2022, the Company recorded $4.3 billion of net deferred tax liabilities primarily on the excess of book basis over the tax basis of the acquired intangible assets, including $857 million of GILTI net deferred tax liability.

The movement in the deferred tax valuation allowance was as follows:

	December 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		December 25, 2021
	(In millions)
Balance at beginning of year	$	2,078	$	1,735	$	1,576

Acquisition-related	5		231		—
Net recoveries+	—		—		156
Balance at end of year	$	2,124	$	2,078	$	1,735
