Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes INCOME TAXESOur effective tax rate was 23 percent and 27 percent for the three-month periods and 24 percent and 26 percent for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the rate was primarily due to a $10 million and $13 million reduction in income tax expense in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively, resulting from IRS guidance released during the third quarter of 2020 that allows us to exclude certain high-taxed foreign income from the U.S. tax effects on Global Intangible Low-taxed Income.
