| Income Taxes | Note 11: Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 18.0% and 16.9%, respectively, as compared to 17.7% and 16.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are relatively consistent. The effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026 includes a lower forecasted annualized effective tax rate for 2026 principally due to a higher Foreign Derived Deduction Eligible Income benefit resulting from the U.S. tax legislation enacted in 2025. The effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes tax benefits for certain legal entity reorganizations partially offset by tax expense due to the sale of the Collins actuation and flight control business. We conduct business globally and, as a result, RTX or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including the United States and other jurisdictions, such as Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Poland, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2014. In connection with certain IRS audits, the Company has previously filed protests with respect to certain IRS proposed adjustments for RTX (formerly United Technologies Corporation) tax years 2017 and 2018, pre-acquisition Rockwell Collins tax years 2016, 2017, and 2018, and pre-merger Raytheon Company tax years 2017, 2018, and 2019 as well as certain refund claims of Raytheon Company for tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016 filed prior to the Raytheon merger. The Company is in the process of disputing these adjustments at the Appeals Division of the IRS. The Company currently expects resolution at the Appeals Division for the RTX, Rockwell, and Raytheon Company protests within the next to eighteen months.
