the effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2017 included an intermittent net discrete tax provision of $ 968 million , primarily related to the impact of the tax act , partially offset by net discrete tax benefits primarily associ- ated with the remeasurement of reserves and related interest due to new information regarding the status of multi-year irs tax examinations .
the tax act , enacted on december 22 , 2017 , significantly revised u.s .
corporate income tax law by , among other things , reducing the corporate income tax rate to 21% ( 21 % ) , and implementing a modified territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of non-u.s .
subsidiaries ; imposes a minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income ( 201cgilti 201d ) and an alternative base erosion and anti-abuse tax ( 201cbeat 201d ) on u.s .
corpora- tions that make deductible payments to non-u.s .
related persons in excess of specified amounts ; and broadens the tax base by partially or wholly eliminating tax deductions for certain historically deductible expenses ( e.g. , fdic premiums and executive compensation ) .
we recorded an approximate $ 1.2 billion net discrete tax provision as a result of the enactment of the tax act , primarily from the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets using the lower enacted corporate tax rate .
this provi- sion incorporates the best available information as of the enactment date as well as assumptions made based upon our current interpretation of the tax act .
our estimates may change as we receive additional clarification and implementa- tion guidance from the u.s .
treasury department and as the interpretation of the tax act evolves over time .
the ultimate impact of the income tax effects of the tax act will be deter- mined in connection with the preparation of our u.s .
consoli- dated federal income tax return .
taking into account our current assumptions , estimates and interpretations related to the tax act and other factors , we expect our effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2018 to be approximately 22% ( 22 % ) to 25% ( 25 % ) , depending on factors such as the geographic mix of earnings and employee share- based awards ( see 201cforward-looking statements 201d ) .
subsequent to the release of the firm 2019s 2017 earnings on january 18 , 2018 , certain estimates related to the net discrete tax provision associated with the enactment of the tax act were revised , resulting in a $ 43 million increase in the provi- sion for income taxes and a reallocation of impacts among segments .
this decreased diluted eps and diluted eps from continuing operations by $ 0.03 and $ 0.02 in the fourth quarter and year ended december 31 , 2017 , respectively .
on a business segment basis , the change resulted in an $ 89 million increase in provision for income taxes for wealth management , a $ 45 million decrease for institutional securi- ties , and a $ 1 million decrease for investment management .
the effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2016 included intermittent net discrete tax benefits of $ 68 million , primarily related to the remeasurement of reserves and related interest due to new information regarding the status of multi- year irs tax examinations , partially offset by adjustments for other tax matters .
the effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2015 included intermittent net discrete tax benefits of $ 564 million , primarily associated with the repatriation of non-u.s .
earn- ings at a cost lower than originally estimated due to an internal restructuring to simplify the legal entity organization in the u.k .
