(a) 
AOCL related to postretirement benefit plans is shown net of tax benefits of $4.2 billion at December 31, 2019, $3.9 billion at December 31, 2018 and $6.5 billion at December 31, 2017. These tax benefits include amounts recognized on our income tax returns as current deductions and deferred income taxes, which will be recognized on our tax returns in future years. See “Note 9 – Income Taxes” and “Note 11 – Postretirement Benefit Plans” for more information on our income taxes and postretirement benefit plans.
(b) 
During 2018, we reclassified the impact of the income tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Tax Act) from AOCL to retained earnings by the same amount with zero impact to total equity.
