assets or liability. By how much did that amount change?

Target's Note $18$ ?indicates that $"$We recognized a net tax benefit of $$36$ ?million and $$372$ ?million in $2018$ ?and $2017,$ ?respectively,

primarily because we remeasured our net deferred tax liabilities using the new lower U$.$S$.$ ?corporate tax rate." What was the

effect of the tax rate change on $2018$ ?net income?

What is Target's liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of February $1,2020?$ ?If Target were to prevail in court and realize $$50$
