| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax expense was $11.6 billion and $3.1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal years 2027 and 2026, respectively. Income tax as a percentage of income before income tax was 16.6% and 14.3% for the first quarter of fiscal years 2027 and 2026, respectively. The effective tax rate increased primarily due to a lower percentage of tax benefits from stock-based compensation relative to the increase in income before income tax. Our effective tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal years 2027 and 2026 were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits from foreign-derived deduction eligible income, income earned in jurisdictions that were subject to taxes at rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, stock-based compensation, and the U.S. federal research tax credit. While we believe that we have adequately provided for all uncertain tax positions, or tax positions where we believe it is not more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon review, amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than our accrued position. Accordingly, our provisions on federal, state and foreign tax related matters to be recorded in the future may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved with the respective tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for our fiscal years 2023 and 2024.
