Our goodwill balance at December 31, 2017 includes $16 million of goodwill that was allocated to us from CenturyLink associated with differences in the deferred state income taxes that CenturyLink expects to realize due to its consolidation of our results of operations into its state tax returns.

Total amortization expense for intangible assets for the successor three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $202 million and $396 million, respectively, and the predecessor three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $52 million and $97 million, respectively. As of the successor date of June 30, 2018, the gross carrying amount of goodwill, customer relationships, indefinite-life and other intangible assets was $20 billion.

We estimate that total amortization expense for intangible assets for the successor years ending December 31, 2018 through 2022 will be as follows:
