Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $12.6 billion and $13.1 billion, of which $10.0 billion and $11.1 billion, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate, as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025, respectively. Changes to U.S. tax law enacted on July 4, 2025, allow for immediate expensing of domestic research and experimentation costs, accelerated depreciation on eligible capital expenditures, and other tax law changes impacting 2025 with certain changes effective in 2026. These changes are reflected in our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
