Note 7—Income Taxes
The Company’s reported effective income tax rates for the second quarter and first half of 2015 were 30.2% and 32.6%, respectively, compared to 35.0% and 34.8% for second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively, which includes the net impact of discrete tax items. The provision for income taxes in the second quarter and first half of 2015 was favorably impacted by discrete net tax benefits of $45 and $44, respectively, primarily due to a $57 tax benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the special cash dividend payable to employees, who through the Company's 401(k) Retirement Plan owned 29,000,000 shares of Company common stock through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Dividends on these shares are deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The provision was negatively impacted by a $14 tax charge in the second quarter of 2015 related to an ongoing income tax matter.
