Basis of presentation [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Note 1 Basis of presentation JPMorgan Chase Co. (JPMorgan Chase or the Firm), a financial holding company incorporated under Delaware law in 1968, is a leading global financial services firm and one of the largest banking institutions in the United States of America (U.S.), with operations worldwide. The Firm is a leader in investment banking, financial services for consumers and businesses, financial transaction processing and asset management. For a discussion of the Firms business segment information, see Note 34 on pages 237239 of this Annual Report. The accounting and financial reporting policies of JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of JPMorgan Chase and other entities in which the Firm has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority of the voting interests of the entity. However, a controlling financial interest also may be deemed to exist with respect to entities, such as special purpose entities (SPEs), through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. SPEs are an important part of the financial markets, providing market liquidity by facilitating investors access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. For example, they are critical to the functioning of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and commercial paper markets. SPEs may be organized as trusts, partnerships or corporations and are typically established for a single, discrete purpose. SPEs are not typically operating entities and usually have a limited life and no employees. The basic SPE structure involves a company selling assets to the SPE. The SPE funds the purchase of those assets by issuing securities to investors. The legal documents that govern the transaction specify how the cash earned on the assets must be allocated to the SPEs investors and other parties that have rights to those cash flows. SPEs are generally structured to insulate investors from claims on the SPEs assets by creditors of other entities, including the creditors of the seller of the assets. There are two different accounting frameworks applicable to SPEs: the qualifying SPE (QSPE) framework and the variable interest entity (VIE) framework. The applicable framework depends on the nature of the entity and the Firms relation to that entity. The QSPE framework is applicable when an entity transfers (sells)financial assets to an SPE meeting certain defined criteria. These criteria are designed to ensure that the activities of the entity are essentially predetermined at the inception of the vehicle and that the transferor of the financial assets cannot exercise control over the entity and the assets th

Acquisition of the banking operations of Washington Mutual Bank On September25, 2008, JPMorgan Chase acquired the banking operations of Washington Mutual Bank (Washington Mutual) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for $1.9billion. The acquisition expanded JPMorgan Chases consumer branch network into several states, including California, Florida Washington, Georgia, Idaho, Nevada and Oregon and created the third largest branch network in the U.S. The acquisition also extends the reach of the Firms business banking, commercial banking, credit card, consumer lending and wealth management businesses. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets and liabilities of Washington Mutual be initially reported at fair value. In 2008, the $1.9billion purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the Washington Mutual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in negative goodwill. In accordance with U.S. GAAP for business combinations, that was in effect at the time of this acquisition, noncurrent nonfinancial assets that were not held-for-sale, such as the premises and equipment and other intangibles, acquired in the Washington Mutual transaction were written down against the negative goodwill. The negative goodwill that remained after writing down the nonfinancial assets was recognized as an extraordinary gain of $1.9billion at December31, 2008. The final total extraordinary gain that resulted from the Washington Mutual transaction was $2.0 billion. The final summary computation of the purchase price and the allocation of the final total purchase price of $1.9billion to the net assets acquired of Washington Mutual based on their respective fair values as of September25, 2008, and the resulting final negative goodwill of $2.0 billion are presented below.

Fair value measurement [Abstract]
Fair value measurement	Note 3 Fair value measurement JPMorgan Chase carries a portion of its assets and liabilities at fair value. The majority of such assets and liabilities are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including loans accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value that are only subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances. The Firm has an established and well-documented process for determining fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including but not limited to yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, equity or debt prices, foreign exchange rates and credit curves. In addition to market information, models also incorporate transaction details, such as maturity of the instrument. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Firms creditworthiness, constraints on liquidity and unobservable parameters. Valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Credit valuation adjustments (CVA) are necessary when the market price (or parameter) is not indicative of the credit quality of the counterparty. As few classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange, the majority of derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis observable market parameters. Market practice is to quote parameters equivalent to an AA credit rating whereby all counterparties are assumed to have the same credit quality. Therefore, an adjustment is necessary to reflect the credit quality of each derivative counterparty to arrive at fair value. The adjustment also takes into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Firms credit exposure to each counterparty, such as collateral and legal rights of offset. Debit valuation adjustments (DVA) are necessary to reflect the credit quality of the Firm in the valuation of liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology to determine the adjustment is consistent with CVA and incorporates JPMorgan Chases credit spread as observed through the credit default swap market. Liquidity valuation adjustments are necessary when the Firm may not be able to observe a recent market price for a financial instrument that trades in inactive (or less active) markets or to reflect the cost of exiting larger-than-normal market-size risk positions (liquidity adjustments are not taken for positions classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). The Firm tries to ascertain the amount of uncertainty in the initial valuation based on the degree of liquidity in the market in which the financial instrument trades and makes liquid

Fair value option [Abstract]
Fair value option	Note 4 Fair value option The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. Elections Elections were made by the Firm to: mitigate income statement volatility caused by the differences in the measurement basis of elected instruments (for example, certain instruments elected were previously accounted for on an accrual basis) while the associated risk management arrangements are accounted for on a fair value basis; eliminate the complexities of applying certain accounting models (e.g., hedge accounting or bifurcation accounting for hybrid instruments); and better reflect those instruments that are managed on a fair value basis. Elections include: Securities financing arrangements with an embedded derivative and/or a maturity of greater than one year. Loans purchased or originated as part of securitization warehousing activity, subject to bifurcation accounting, or managed on a fair value basis. Structured notes issued as part of IBs client-driven activities. (Structured notes are financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives.) Certain tax credits and other equity investments acquired as part of the Washington Mutual transaction. The cumulative effect on retained earnings of the adoption of the fair value option on January1, 2007, was $199million. Changes in fair value under the fair value option election The following table presents the changes in fair value included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, for items for which the fair value option was elected.

Derivative instruments [Abstract]
Derivative instruments	Note 5 Derivative instruments Derivative instruments enable end-users to modify or mitigate exposure to credit or market risks. Counterparties to a derivative contract seek to obtain risks and rewards similar to those that could be obtained from purchasing or selling a related cash instrument without having to exchange the full purchase or sales price upfront. JPMorgan Chase makes markets in derivatives for customers and also uses derivatives to hedge or manage risks of market exposures. The majority of the Firms derivatives are entered into for market-making purposes. Trading derivatives The Firm transacts in a variety of derivatives in its trading portfolios to meet the needs of customers (both dealers and clients) and to generate revenue through this trading activity. The Firm makes markets in derivatives for its customers (collectively, client derivatives), seeking to mitigate or modify interest rate, credit, foreign exchange, equity and commodity risks. The Firm actively manages the risks from its exposure to these derivatives by entering into other derivative transactions or by purchasing or selling other financial instruments that partially or fully offset the exposure from client derivatives. The Firm also seeks to earn a spread between the client derivatives and offsetting positions, and from the remaining open risk positions. Risk management derivatives The Firm manages its market exposures using various derivative instruments. Interest rate contracts are used to minimize fluctuations in earnings that are caused by changes in interest rates. Fixed-rate assets and liabilities appreciate or depreciate in market value as interest rates change. Similarly, interest income and expense increase or decrease as a result of variable-rate assets and liabilities resetting to current market rates, and as a result of the repayment and subsequent origination or issuance of fixed-rate assets and liabilities at current market rates. Gains or losses on the derivative instruments that are related to such assets and liabilities are expected to substantially offset this variability in earnings. The Firm generally uses interest rate swaps, forwards and futures to manage the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with certain foreign currencydenominated (i.e., non-U.S.) assets and liabilities and forecasted transactions, as well as the Firms net investments in certain non-U.S. subsidiaries or branches whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. As a result of fluctuations in foreign currencies, the U.S. dollarequivalent values of the foreign currencydenominated assets and liabilities or forecasted revenue or expense increase or decrease. Gains or losses on the derivative instruments related to these foreign currencydenominated assets or liabilities, or forecasted transactions, are expected to substantially offset this variability. Commodities based forward and futures contracts are used to manage the price risk of certain inventory, including gold and base metals, in the Firms commodities portfolio. Gains or losses on

Pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans [Abstract]
Pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans	Note 8 Pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans The Firms defined benefit pension plans and its other postretirement employee benefit (OPEB) plans are accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP for retirement benefits. Defined benefit pension plans The Firm has a qualified noncontributory U.S. defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits to substantially all U.S. employees. The U.S. plan employs a cash balance formula in the form of pay and interest credits to determine the benefits to be provided at retirement, based on eligible compensation and years of service. Employees begin to accrue plan benefits after completing one year of service, and benefits generally vest after three years of service. In November2009, the Firm announced certain changes to the pay credit schedule and amount of eligible compensation recognized under the U.S. plan effective February1, 2010. The Firm also offers benefits through defined benefit pension plans to qualifying employees in certain non-U.S. locations based on factors such as eligible compensation, age and/or years of service. It is the Firms policy to fund the pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements under applicable employee benefit and local tax laws. On January15, 2009, and August28, 2009, the Firm made discretionary deductible cash contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan of $1.3billion and $1.5billion, respectively. The amount of potential 2010 contributions to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. The expected amount of 2010 contributions to the non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans is $171million of which $148million is contractually required. JPMorgan Chase also has a number of defined benefit pension plans not subject to Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The most significant of these plans is the Excess Retirement Plan, pursuant to which certain employees earn pay and interest credits on compensation amounts above the maximum stipulated by law under a qualified plan. The Firm announced that, effective May1, 2009, pay credits would no longer be provided on compensation amounts above the maximum stipulated by law. The Excess Retirement Plan had an unfunded projected benefit obligation in the amount of $267million and $273million, at December31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Defined contribution plans JPMorgan Chase offers several defined contribution plans in the U.S. and in certain non-U.S. locations, all of which are administered in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations. The most significant of these plans is The JPMorgan Chase 401(k) Savings Plan (the 401(k) Savings Plan), which covers substantially all U.S. employees. The 401(k) Savings Plan allows employees to make pretax and Roth 401(k) contributions to tax-deferred investment portfolios. The JPMorgan Chase Common Stock Fund, which is an investment option under the 401(k) Savings Plan, is a nonleveraged employee stock ownership plan. The Firm matches eligible employee contributions up to a certain percentage of benefits-eligible compensation per pay period, subje

Employee stock-based incentives [Abstract]
Employee stock-based incentives	Note 9 Employee stock-based incentives Employee stock-based awards In 2009, 2008, and 2007, JPMorgan Chase granted long-term stock-based awards to certain key employees under the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan). The 2005 Plan, plus prior Firm plans and plans assumed as the result of acquisitions, constitute the Firms stock-based incentive plans (collectively,LTI Plan). The 2005 Plan became effective on May17, 2005, and was amended in May2008. Under the terms of the amended 2005 plan, as of December31, 2009, 199million shares of common stock are available for issuance through May2013. The amended 2005 Plan is the only active plan under which the Firm is currently granting stock-based incentive awards. Restricted stock units (RSUs) are awarded at no cost to the recipient upon their grant. RSUs are generally granted annually and generally vest at a rate of 50% after two years and 50% after three years and convert into shares of common stock at the vesting date. In addition, RSUs typically include full-career eligibility provisions, which allow employees to continue to vest upon voluntary termination, subject to post-employment and other restrictions based on age or service-related requirements. All of these awards are subject to forfeiture until the vesting date. An RSU entitles the recipient to receive cash payments equivalent to any dividends paid on the underlying common stock during the period the RSU is outstanding and, as such, are considered participating securities as discussed in Note 25 on page 224 of this Annual Report. Under the LTI Plan, stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) have been granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of JPMorgan Chases common stock on the grant date. The Firm typically awards SARs to certain key employees once per year, and it also periodically grants discretionary stock-based incentive awards to individual employees, primarily in the form of both employee stock options and SARs. The 2009, 2008 and 2007 grants of SARs to key employees vest ratably over 5years (i.e., 20% per year) and do not include any full-career eligibility provisions. These awards generally expire 10years after the grant date. The Firm separately recognizes compensation expense for each tranche of each award as if it were a separate award with its own vesting date. Generally, for each tranche granted, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis from the grant date until the vesting date of the respective tranche, provided that the employees will not become full-career eligible during the vesting period. For awards with full-career eligibility provisions, the Firm accrues the estimated value of awards expected to be awarded to employees who will be retirement-eligible as of the grant date without giving consideration to the impact of post-employment restrictions. For each tranche granted to employees who will become full-career eligible during the vesting period, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis from the grant date until the earlier of the employees full-career eligibility date or the vesting date of the respective tranche.

Securities [Abstract]
Securities	Note 11 Securities Securities are classified as AFS, held-to-maturity (HTM) or trading. Trading securities are discussed in Note 3 on pages 148-165 of this Annual Report. Securities are classified primarily as AFS when used to manage the Firms exposure to interest rate movements, as well as to make strategic longer-term investments. AFS securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses, after any applicable hedge accounting adjustments, are reported as net increases or decreases to accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on AFS securities, which are included in securities gains/(losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Securities that the Firm has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and are carried at amortized cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Firm has not classified new purchases of securities as HTM for the past several years. The following table presents realized gains and losses from AFS securities.

Securities financing activities [Abstract]
Securities financing activities	Note 12 Securities financing activities JPMorgan Chase enters into resale agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed transactions and securities loaned transactions, primarily to finance the Firms inventory positions, acquire securities to cover short positions, accommodate customers financing needs, and settle other securities obligations. Resale agreements and repurchase agreements are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently sold or repurchased, plus accrued interest. On January1, 2007, pursuant to the adoption of the fair value option, the Firm elected fair value measurement for certain resale and repurchase agreements. In 2008, the Firm elected fair value measurement for certain newly transacted securities borrowed and securities lending agreements. For a further discussion of the fair value option, see Notes 4 and 20 on pages 165167 and 219, respectively, of this Annual Report. The securities financing agreements for which the fair value option was elected are reported within securities purchased under resale agreements; securities loaned or sold under repurchase agreements; securities borrowed; and other borrowed funds on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, for agreements carried at fair value, current-period interest accruals are recorded within interest income and interest expense, with changes in fair value reported in principal transactions revenue. However, for financial instruments containing embedded derivatives that would be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB guidance for hybrid instruments, all changes in fair value, including any interest elements, are reported in principal transactions revenue. Where appropriate, resale and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis. JPMorgan Chase takes possession of securities purchased under resale agreements. On a daily basis, JPMorgan Chase monitors the market value of the underlying collateral, primarily U.S. and non-U.S. government and agency securities, that it has received from its counterparties, and requests additional collateral when necessary. Transactions similar to financing activities that do not meet the definition of a repurchase agreement are accounted for as buys and sells rather than financing transactions. These transactions are accounted for as a purchase/(sale) of the underlying securities with a forward obligation to sell/(purchase) the securities. The forward purchase/(sale) obligation is a derivative that is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in principal transactions revenue. Securities borrowed and securities lent are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Securities borrowed consist primarily of government and equity securities. JPMorgan Chase monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and lent on a daily basis and calls for additional collateral when appropriate. Fees received or paid in connection with securities borrowed and lent are recorded in interest income or

Loans [Abstract]
Loans	Note 13 Loans The accounting for a loan may differ based on whether it is originated or purchased and whether the loan is used in an investing or trading strategy. For purchased loans held-for-investment, the accounting also differs depending on whether a loan is credit-impaired at the date of acquisition. Purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since the origination date and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments receivable will not be collected are considered to be credit-impaired. The measurement framework for loans in the Consolidated Financial Statements is one of the following: At the principal amount outstanding, net of the allowance for loan losses, unearned income, unamortized discounts and premiums, and any net deferred loan fees or costs, for loans held for investment (other than purchased credit-impaired loans); At the lower of cost or fair value, with valuation changes recorded in noninterest revenue, for loans that are classified as held-for-sale; At fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest revenue, for loans classified as trading assets or risk managed on a fair value basis; or Purchased credit-impaired loans held-for-investment are initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses. Accordingly, an allowance for loan losses related to these loans is not recorded at the acquisition date. See Note 4 on pages 165167 of this Annual Report for further information on the Firms elections of fair value accounting under the fair value option. See Note 3 and Note 4 on pages 148165 and 165167 of this Annual Report for further information on loans carried at fair value and classified as trading assets. For loans held-for-investment, other than purchased credit-impaired loans, interest income is recognized using the interest method or on a basis approximating a level rate of return over the term of the loan. Nonaccrual loans are those on which the accrual of interest has been suspended. Loans (other than credit card loans, certain consumer loans insured by U.S. government agencies and purchased credit-impaired loans, which are discussed below) are placed on nonaccrual status and considered nonperforming when full payment of principal and interest is in doubt, or when principal or interest is 90days or more past due and collateral, if any, is insufficient to cover principal and interest. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. In addition, the amortization of net deferred loan fees is suspended. Interest income on nonaccrual loans may be recognized only to the extent it is received in cash. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectibility of loan principal, cash receipts are applied to reduce the carrying value of such loans (i.e., the cost recovery method). Interest and fees related to credit card loans continue to accrue until the loan is charged off or paid in full. Loans may be returned to accrual status when repayment is reasonably assured and there has been demonstrated per

Allowance for credit losses [Abstract]
Allowance for credit losses	Note 14 Allowance for credit losses The allowance for loan losses includes an asset-specific component, a formula-based component and a component related to purchased credit-impaired loans. The asset-specific component relates to loans considered to be impaired, which includes any loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring as well as risk-rated loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. An asset-specific allowance for impaired loans is established when the loans discounted cash flows (or, when available, the loans observable market price) is lower than the recorded investment in the loan. To compute the asset-specific component of the allowance, larger loans are evaluated individually, while smaller loans are evaluated as pools using historical loss experience for the respective class of assets. Risk-rated loans (primarily wholesale loans) are pooled by risk rating, while scored loans (i.e., consumer loans) are pooled by product type. The Firm generally measures the asset-specific allowance as the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the loans original effective interest rate. Subsequent changes in measured impairment due to the impact of discounting are reported as an adjustment to the provision for loan losses, not as an adjustment to interest income. An asset-specific allowance for an impaired loan with an observable market price is measured as the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and the loans fair value. Certain impaired loans that are determined to be collateral-dependent are charged-off to the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. When collateral-dependent commercial real-estate loans are determined to be impaired, updated appraisals are typically obtained and updated every six to twelve months. The Firm also considers both borrower- and market-specific factors, which may result in obtaining appraisal updates at more frequent intervals or broker-price opinions in the interim. The formula-based component is based on a statistical calculation and covers performing risk-rated loans and consumer loans, except for loans restructured in troubled debt restructurings and purchased credit-impaired loans. See Note 13 on pages 195196 of this Annual Report for more information on purchased credit-impaired loans. For risk-rated loans, the statistical calculation is the product of an estimated probability of default (PD) and an estimated loss given default (LGD). These factors are differentiated by risk rating and expected maturity. In assessing the risk rating of a particular loan, among the factors considered are the obligors debt capacity and financial flexibility, the level of the obligors earnings, the amount and sources for repayment, the level and nature of contingencies, management strength, and the industry and geography in which the obligor operates. These factors are based on an evaluation of historical and current information, and involve subjective assessment and interpretation. Emphasizing one factor over another or considering additional factors could impac

Loan securitizations [Abstract]
Loan securitizations	Note 15 Loan securitizations JPMorgan Chase securitizes and sells a variety of loans, including residential mortgage, credit card, automobile, student, and commercial loans (primarily related to real estate). JPMorgan Chase-sponsored securitizations utilize SPEs as part of the securitization process. These SPEs are structured to meet the definition of a QSPE (as discussed in Note 1 on page 142 of this Annual Report); accordingly, the assets and liabilities of securitization-related QSPEs are not reflected on the Firms Consolidated Balance Sheets (except for retained interests, as described below). The primary purpose of these securitization vehicles is to meet investor needs and to generate liquidity for the Firm through the sale of loans to the QSPEs. These QSPEs are financed through the issuance of fixed- or floating-rate asset-backed securities. See Note 16 on pages 213-214 for further information on the new accounting guidance, effective January1, 2010, which eliminates the concept of QSPEs and revises the criteria for the consolidation of VIEs. The Firm records a loan securitization as a sale when the accounting criteria for a sale are met. Those criteria are: (1)the transferred assets are legally isolated from the Firms creditors; (2) the entity can pledge or exchange the financial assets, or if the entity is a QSPE, its investors can pledge or exchange their interests; and (3)the Firm does not maintain effective control to repurchase the transferred assets before their maturity, or have the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return the transferred assets. For loan securitizations that meet the accounting sales criteria, the gains or losses recorded depend, in part, on the carrying amount of the loans sold except for servicing assets which are initially recorded at fair value. At the time of sale, any retained servicing asset is initially recognized at fair value. The remaining carrying amount of the loans sold is allocated between the loans sold and the other interests retained, based on their relative fair values on the date of sale. Gains on securitizations are reported in noninterest revenue. When quoted market prices are not available, the Firm estimates the fair value for these retained interests by calculating the present value of future expected cash flows using modeling techniques. Such models incorporate managements best estimates of key variables, such as expected credit losses, prepayment speeds and the discount rates appropriate for the risks involved. The Firm may retain interests in the securitized loans in the form of undivided sellers interest, senior or subordinated interest-only strips, debt and equity tranches, escrow accounts and servicing rights. The classification of retained interests is dependent upon several factors, including the type of interest, whether or not the retained interest is represented by a security certificate and when it was retained. Interests retained by IB are classified as trading assets. See credit card securitizations and mortgage securitizations sections of this Note for further information on the classification of their related retained interests. Retained

Variable interest entities [Abstract]
Variable interest entities	Note 16 Variable interest entities Refer to Note 1 on page 142 of this Annual Report for a further description of JPMorgan Chases policies regarding consolidation of variable interest entities. JPMorgan Chases principal involvement with VIEs occurs in the following business segments: Investment Bank: Utilizes VIEs to assist clients in accessing the financial markets in a cost-efficient manner. IB is involved with VIEs through multi-seller conduits and for investor intermediation purposes, as discussed below. IB also securitizes loans through QSPEs, to create asset-backed securities, as further discussed in Note 15 on pages 198-205 of this Annual Report. Asset Management (AM): The legal entity structures for a limited number of funds sponsored and managed by asset management include certain entities within the structure which are deemed VIEs. As asset manager of the funds, AM earns a fee based on assets managed; the fee varies with each funds investment objective and is competitively priced. For those limited number of funds that qualify as VIEs, AMs relationship with such funds are not considered significant variable interests under U.S. GAAP. Treasury Securities Services: Provides services to a number of VIEs that are similar to those provided to non-VIEs. TSS earns market-based fees for the services it provides. The relationships resulting from TSS services are not considered to be significant variable interests. Commercial Banking (CB): Utilizes VIEs to assist clients in accessing the financial markets in a cost-efficient manner. This is often accomplished through the use of products similar to those offered in IB. CB may assist in the structuring and/or ongoing administration of these VIEs and may provide liquidity, letters of credit and/or derivative instruments in support of the VIE. The relationships resulting from CBs services are not considered to be significant variable interests. Corporate/Private Equity: Corporate utilizes VIEs to issue guaranteed capital debt securities. See Note 22 on pages 220-221 for further information. The Private Equity business, within Corporate/Private Equity, may be involved with entities that could be deemed VIEs. Private equity entities are typically investment companies as defined in the investment company accounting guidance and, as such, are not required to utilize the accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs. Had the guidance for consolidation of VIEs been applied to these entities, the impact would have been immaterial to the Firms Consolidated Financial Statements as of December31, 2009. As noted above, IB is predominantly involved with multi-seller conduits and VIEs associated with investor intermediation activities. These nonconsolidated VIEs that are sponsored by JPMorgan Chase are discussed below. The Firm considers a sponsored VIE to include any entity where: (1)JPMorgan Chase is the principal beneficiary of the structure; (2)the VIE is used by JPMorgan Chase to securitize Firm assets; (3)the VIE issues financial instruments associated with the JPMorgan Chase brand name; or (4)the entity is a JPMorgan Chase-administered

Other intangible assets are recorded at their fair value upon completion of a business combination or certain other transactions, and generally represent the value of customer relationships or arrangements. The increase in goodwill during 2009 was primarily due to final purchase accounting adjustments related to the Bear Stearns merger, and the acquisition of a commodities business, each primarily allocated to IB, and foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Firms Canadian credit card operations, which were allocated to Card Services. The increase in goodwill during 2008 was primarily due to the dissolution of the Chase Paymentech Solutions joint venture (allocated to Card Services), the merger with Bear Stearns, the purchase of an additional equity interest in Highbridge and tax-related purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Bank One merger (which were primarily attributed to IB). The goodwill associated with each business combination is allocated to the related reporting units, which are determined based on how the Firms businesses are managed and how they are reviewed by the Firms Operating Committee.

Premises and equipment	Note 18 Premises and equipment Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. JPMorgan Chase computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of an asset. For leasehold improvements, the Firm uses the straight-line method computed over the lesser of the remaining term of the leased facility or the estimated useful life of the leased asset. JPMorgan Chase has recorded immaterial asset retirement obligations related to asbestos remediation in those cases where it has sufficient information to estimate the obligations fair value. JPMorgan Chase capitalizes certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software. Once the software is ready for its intended use, these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the softwares expected useful life and reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis.

The 2008 Act temporarily increased the standard maximum FDIC deposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor per institution through December31, 2009. On May20, 2009, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009 (the 2009 Act) was signed into law. The 2009 Act extends through December31, 2013, the FDICs temporary standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 per depositor. On January1, 2014, the standard maximum deposit insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all deposit accounts except Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and certain other retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depositor. In addition, on November21, 2008, the FDIC released a final rule on the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the TLG Program). Under one component of this program, the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (the TAG Program) provides unlimited deposit insurance through December31, 2009, on certain noninterest-bearing transaction accounts at FDIC-insured participating institutions. On December4, 2008, the Firm elected to participate in the TLG Program and, as a result, was required to pay additional insurance premiums to the FDIC in an amount equal to an annualized 10 basis points on balances in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts that exceeded the $250,000 FDIC deposit insurance limits, as determined on a quarterly basis. The expiration date of the program was extended by six months, from December31, 2009, to June30, 2010, to provide continued support to those institutions most affected by the recent financial crisis and phase out the program in an orderly manner.

Maturities for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2012 and 2014 were not material. (b) On September19, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board established a special lending facility, the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (AML Facility), to provide liquidity to eligible U.S. money market mutual funds. Under the AML Facility, banking organizations must use the loan proceeds to finance their purchases of eligible high-quality ABCP investments from money market mutual funds, which are pledged to secure nonrecourse advances from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB). Participating banking organizations do not bear any credit or market risk related to the ABCP investments they hold under this facility; therefore, the ABCP investments held are not assessed any regulatory capital. The AML Facility ended on February1, 2010. The nonrecourse advances from the FRBB were elected under the fair value option and recorded in other borrowed funds; the corresponding ABCP investments were also elected under the fair value option and recorded in other assets. The fair value of ABCP investments purchased under the AML Facility for U.S. money market mutual funds is determined based on observable market information and is classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. (c) Includes zero and $30billion of advances from the Federal Reserve under the Federal Reserves Term Auction Facility (TAF) at December31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, pursuant to which the Federal Reserve auctions term funds to depository institutions that are eligible to borrow under the primary credit program. The TAF allows all eligible depository institutions to place a bid for an advance from its local Federal Reserve Bank at an interest rate set by an auction. All advances are required to be fully collateralized. The TAF is designed to improve liquidity by making it easier for sound institutions to borrow when the markets are not operating efficiently.

Preferred stock [Abstract]
Preferred Stock	Note 23 Preferred stock JPMorgan Chase is authorized to issue 200million shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, with a par value of $1 per share. On April23, 2008, the Firm issued 600,000 shares of Fixed to Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, SeriesI (SeriesI), for total proceeds of $6.0billion. On July15, 2008, each series of Bear Stearns preferred stock then issued and outstanding was exchanged into a series of JPMorgan Chase preferred stock (Cumulative Preferred Stock, SeriesE, SeriesF and SeriesG) having substantially identical terms. As a result of the exchange, these preferred shares rank equally with the other series of the Firms preferred stock. On August21, 2008, the Firm issued 180,000 shares of 8.625% Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series J (SeriesJ), for total proceeds of $1.8billion. On October28, 2008, pursuant to the U.S. Department of the Treasurys (the U.S. Treasury) Capital Purchase Program (the Capital Purchase Program), the Firm issued to the U.S. Treasury, for total proceeds of $25.0billion, (i)2.5million shares of the Firms Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, SeriesK, par value $1 per share and liquidation preference $10,000 per share (the SeriesK Preferred Stock); and (ii)a warrant to purchase up to 88,401,697 shares of the Firms common stock at an exercise price of $42.42 per share (the Warrant), subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The $25.0billion proceeds were allocated to the SeriesK Preferred Stock and the Warrant based on the relative fair value of the instruments. The difference between the initial carrying value of $23.7billion allocated to the SeriesK Preferred Stock and its redemption value of $25.0billion was being amortized to retained earnings (with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the SeriesK Preferred Stock) over the first five years of the contract as an adjustment to the dividend yield, using the effective-yield method. The SeriesK Preferred Stock was nonvoting, qualified as Tier 1 capital and ranked equally with the Firms other series of preferred stock. On June17, 2009, the Firm redeemed all of the outstanding shares of SeriesK Preferred Stock and repaid the full $25.0billion principal amount together with accrued but unpaid dividends. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Firm, JPMorgan Chases preferred stock then outstanding takes precedence over the Firms common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets. Generally, dividends on shares of outstanding series of preferred stock are payable quarterly. Dividends on the shares of SeriesI preferred stock are payable semiannually at a fixed annual dividend rate of 7.90% through April2018, and then become payable quarterly at an annual dividend rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.47%. The SeriesK Preferred Stock bore cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% per year thereafter. Dividends could only be paid if, as and when declared by the Firms Board of Directors. The effective dividend yield on the SeriesK Preferred Stock was 6.16%. The SeriesK Preferred Stock ranked equal

On June5, 2009, the Firm issued $5.8billion, or 163million new shares, of its common stock at $35.25 per share. On September30, 2008, the Firm issued $11.5 billion, or 284million new shares, of its common stock at $40.50 per share. On April8, 2008, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated March24, 2008, between JPMorgan Chase and Bear Stearns, 20.7million newly issued shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock were issued to Bear Stearns in a transaction that was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to Section4(2) thereof, in exchange for 95.0million newly issued shares of Bear Stearns common stock (or 39.5% of Bear Stearns common stock after giving effect to the issuance). Upon the consummation of the Bear Stearns merger, on May30, 2008, the 20.7million shares of JPMorgan Chase common stock and 95.0million shares of Bear Stearns common stock were cancelled.

Earnings per share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	Note 25 Earnings per share Effective January1, 2009, the Firm implemented new FASB guidance for participating securities, which clarifies that unvested stock-based compensation awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (collectively, dividends) are participating securities and should be included in the earnings per share (EPS) calculation using the two-class method. JPMorgan Chase grants restricted stock and RSUs to certain employees under its stock-based compensation programs, which entitle the recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock; these unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. EPS data for the prior periods were revised as required by the FASBs guidance. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Income taxes [Abstract]
Income taxes	Note 27 Income taxes JPMorgan Chase and its eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. JPMorgan Chase uses the asset and liability method to provide income taxes on all transactions recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. This method requires that income taxes reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities for book and tax purposes. Accordingly, a deferred tax asset or liability for each temporary difference is determined based on the tax rates that the Firm expects to be in effect when the underlying items of income and expense are realized. JPMorgan Chases expense for income taxes includes the current and deferred portions of that expense. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount the Firm expects to realize. Due to the inherent complexities arising from the nature of the Firms businesses, and from conducting business and being taxed in a substantial number of jurisdictions, significant judgments and estimates are required to be made. Agreement of tax liabilities between JPMorgan Chase and the many tax jurisdictions in which the Firm files tax returns may not be finalized for several years. Thus, the Firms final tax-related assets and liabilities may ultimately be different from those currently reported. The components of income tax expense/(benefit) included in the Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows for each of the years ended December31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. Year ended December 31, (in millions) 2009 2008 2007 Current income tax expense U.S. federal $ 4,698 $ 395 $ 2,805 Non-U.S. 2,368 1,009 2,985 U.S. state and local 971 307 343 Total current income tax expense 8,037 1,711 6,133 Deferred income tax expense/ (benefit) U.S. federal (2,867 ) (3,015 ) 1,122 Non-U.S. (454 ) 1 (185 ) U.S. state and local (301 ) 377 370 Total deferred income tax expense/(benefit) (3,622 ) (2,637 ) 1,307 Total income tax expense/ (benefit)before extraordinary gain $ 4,415 $ (926 ) $ 7,440 Total income tax expense includes $280million, $55million and $74million of tax benefits recorded in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as a result of tax audit resolutions. The preceding table does not reflect the tax effect of certain items that are recorded each period directly in stockholders equity and certain tax benefits associated with the Firms employee stock-based compensation plans. The table also does not reflect the cumulative tax effects of initially implementing new accounting pronouncements in 2007. The tax effect of all items recorded directly to stockholders equity resulted in a decrease of $3.7billion in 2009 and an increase in stockholders equity of $3.0billion and $159million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Restrictions on cash and intercompany funds transfers [Abstract]
Restrictions on cash and intercompany funds transfers	Note 28 Restrictions on cash and intercompany funds transfers The business of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) is subject to examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The Bank is a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) requires depository institutions to maintain cash reserves with a Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of reserve balances deposited by the Firms bank subsidiaries with various Federal Reserve Banks was approximately $821million and $1.6billion in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Restrictions imposed by U.S. federal law prohibit JPMorgan Chase and certain of its affiliates from borrowing from banking subsidiaries unless the loans are secured in specified amounts. Such secured loans to the Firm or to other affiliates are generally limited to 10% of the banking subsidiarys total capital, as determined by the risk-based capital guidelines; the aggregate amount of all such loans is limited to 20% of the banking subsidiarys total capital. The principal sources of JPMorgan Chases income (on a parent company-only basis) are dividends and interest from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the other banking and nonbanking subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase. In addition to dividend restrictions set forth in statutes and regulations, the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC have authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to prohibit or to limit the payment of dividends by the banking organizations they supervise, including JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries that are banks or bank holding companies, if, in the banking regulators opinion, payment of a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the banking organization. At January1, 2010 and 2009, JPMorgan Chases banking subsidiaries could pay, in the aggregate, $3.6billion and $17.0billion, respectively, in dividends to their respective bank holding companies without the prior approval of their relevant banking regulators. The capacity to pay dividends in 2010 will be supplemented by the banking subsidiaries earnings during the year. In compliance with rules and regulations established by U.S. and non-U.S. regulators, as of December31, 2009 and 2008, cash in the amount of $24.0billion and $34.8billion, respectively, and securities with a fair value of $10.2billion and $23.4billion, respectively, were segregated in special bank accounts for the benefit of securities and futures brokerage customers.

Capital [Abstract]
Capital	Note 29 Capital The Federal Reserve establishes capital requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the consolidated financial holding company. The OCC establishes similar capital requirements and standards for the Firms national banks, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Chase Bank USA, N.A. There are two categories of risk-based capital: Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders equity, qualifying preferred stock and minority interest less goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1, subordinated long-term debt and other instruments qualifying as Tier 2, and the aggregate allowance for credit losses up to a certain percentage of risk-weighted assets. Total regulatory capital is subject to deductions for investments in certain subsidiaries. Under the risk-based capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve, JPMorgan Chase is required to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and Total (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets, as well as minimum leverage ratios (which are defined as Tier 1 capital to average adjusted on-balance sheet assets). Failure to meet these minimum requirements could cause the Federal Reserve to take action. Banking subsidiaries also are subject to these capital requirements by their respective primary regulators. As of December31, 2009 and 2008, JPMorgan Chase and all of its banking subsidiaries were well-capitalized and met all capital requirements to which each was subject. The following table presents the risk-based capital ratios for JPMorgan Chase and its significant banking subsidiaries at December31, 2009 and 2008.

Commitments and contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and contingencies	Note 30 Commitments and contingencies At December31, 2009, JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries were obligated under a number of noncancelable operating leases for premises and equipment used primarily for banking purposes, and for energy-related tolling service agreements. Certain leases contain renewal options or escalation clauses providing for increased rental payments based on maintenance, utility and tax increases, or they require the Firm to perform restoration work on leased premises. No lease agreement imposes restrictions on the Firms ability to pay dividends, engage in debt or equity financing transactions or enter into further lease agreements. The following table presents required future minimum rental payments under operating leases with noncancelable lease terms that expire after December31, 2009.

These assets are not generally used to satisfy liabilities to third parties. See Note 16 on pages 206214 of this Annual Report for additional information on assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs. In 2008, the Firm resolved with the IRS issues related to compliance with reporting and withholding requirements for certain accounts transferred to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNYM) in connection with the Firms sale to BNYM of its corporate trust business. The resolution of these issues did not have a material effect on the Firm. Litigation reserve The Firm maintains litigation reserves for certain of its outstanding litigation. JPMorgan Chase accrues for a litigation-related liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the Firm is named as a defendant in a litigation and may be subject to joint and several liability, and a judgment-sharing agreement is in place, the Firm recogniz

Off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments, guarantees and other commitments [Abstract]
Off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments, guarantees and other commitments	Note 31 Off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments, guarantees and other commitments JPMorgan Chase utilizes lending-related financial instruments (e.g., commitments and guarantees) to meet the financing needs of its customers. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible credit risk should the counterparties draw down the commitment or the Firm fulfill its obligation under the guarantee, and the counterparties subsequently fail to perform according to the terms of the contract. Most of these commitments and guarantees expire without a default occurring or without being drawn. As a result, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not, in the Firms view, representative of its actual future credit exposure or funding requirements. Further, certain commitments, predominantly related to consumer financings, are cancelable, upon notice, at the option of the Firm. To provide for the risk of loss inherent in wholesale-related contracts, an allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is maintained. See Note 14 on pages 196198 of this Annual Report for further discussion of the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments. The following table summarizes the contractual amounts of off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees and the related allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments at December31, 2009 and 2008. The amounts in the table below for credit card and home equity lending-related commitments represent the total available credit for these products. The Firm has not experienced, and does not anticipate, that all available lines of credit for these products will be utilized at the same time. The Firm can reduce or cancel these lines of credit by providing the borrower prior notice or, in some cases, without notice as permitted by law.

Credit risk concentrations [Abstract]
Credit risk concentrations	Note 32 Credit risk concentrations Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities or activities in the same geographic region, or when they have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. JPMorgan Chase regularly monitors various segments of its credit portfolio to assess potential concentration risks and to obtain collateral when deemed necessary. Senior management is significantly involved in the credit approval and review process, and risk levels are adjusted as needed to reflect managements risk tolerance. In the Firms wholesale portfolio, risk concentrations are evaluated primarily by industry and geographic region, and monitored regularly on both an aggregate portfolio level and on an individual customer basis. Management of the Firms wholesale exposure is accomplished through loan syndication and participation, loan sales, securitizations, credit derivatives, use of master netting agreements, and collateral and other risk-reduction techniques. In the consumer portfolio, concentrations are evaluated primarily by product and by U.S. geographic region, with a key focus on trends and concentrations at the portfolio level, where potential risk concentrations can be remedied through changes in underwriting policies and portfolio guidelines. The Firm does not believe that its exposure to any particular loan product (e.g., option ARMs), portfolio segment (e.g., commercial real estate) or its exposure to residential real estate loans with high loan-to-value ratios results in a significant concentration of credit risk. Terms of loan products and collateral coverage are included in the Firms assessment when extending credit and establishing its allowance for loan losses. For further information regarding on-balance sheet credit concentrations by major product and geography, see Note 13 on pages 192-196 of this Annual Report. For information regarding concentrations of off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments by major product, see Note 31 on pages 230-234 of this Annual Report.

International operations [Abstract]
International operations	Note 33 International operations The following table presents income statementrelated information for JPMorgan Chase by major international geographic area. The Firm defines international activities as business transactions that involve customers residing outside of the U.S., and the information presented below is based primarily upon the domicile of the customer, the location from which the customer relationship is managed or the location of the trading desk. However, many of the Firms U.S. operations serve international businesses. As the Firms operations are highly integrated, estimates and subjective assumptions have been made to apportion revenue and expense between U.S. and international operations. These estimates and assumptions are consistent with the allocations used for the Firms segment reporting as set forth in Note 34 on pages 237239 of this Annual Report. The Firms long-lived assets for the periods presented are not considered by management to be significant in relation to total assets. The majority of the Firms long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Business segments	Note 34 Business segments The Firm is managed on a line-of-business basis. There are six major reportable business segments Investment Bank, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury Securities Services and Asset Management, as well as a Corporate/Private Equity segment. The business segments are determined based on the products and services provided, or the type of customer served, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on a managed basis. For a definition of managed basis, see Explanation and Reconciliation of the Firms use of non-GAAP financial measures, on pages 5052 of this Annual Report. For a further discussion concerning JPMorgan Chases business segments, see Business segment results on pages 5354 of this Annual Report.
