$ 1,155
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $161 million and $191 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31,
2011, respectively, of which approximately $138 million and $150 million, respectively, if recognized, would affect the
effective tax rate, net of resulting changes to valuation allowances.
A roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
2012 2011
Balance at January 1 $ 191 $ 198
Additions based on tax positions related to current year 11 45
Additions for tax positions of prior years 11 38
Reductions for tax positions of prior years (24)(63)
Settlements and agreements (24)(22)
Lapse of statute of limitations (4)(5)
Balance at December 31 $ 161 $ 191
During 2012, the Company reduced its prior year unrecognized tax benefits by $24 million and increased its prior year
unrecognized tax benefits by $11 million for facts that indicate the extent to which certain tax positions are more-likely-than-
not of being sustained. The net reduction resulted in the recording of an income tax benefit of $13 million. Additionally, the
Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits by $24 million for settlements and agreements with tax authorities, the majority
of which reduced tax carryforwards and prepaid tax assets.
