treasurer's, or cashier's check (or other guaranteed draft), or any 
money order, or any other means of payment that has been guaranteed by

transaction which has been guaranteed expressly by a financial 
institution) so received is not duly paid, the United States shall, in

other claims whatsoever against such financial institution, issuer, or 
guaranteeing institution, except the necessary costs and expenses of 
administration and the reimbursement of the United States for the 
amount expended in the redemption of the circulating notes of such 
financial institution.

        compensation which is maintained by a corporation not exempt 
        from tax under this chapter and which does not meet the 
        requirements for qualification under section 401.

        section 457 is amended by adding at the end thereof the 
        following new paragraph:

years; provided that any amount paid by the plan in a taxable year 
ending after revocation of such election in respect of benefits 
attributable to a taxable year during which such election was in effect 
shall be includible in income by the recipient in accordance with the 
rules of this chapter in the taxable year in which such amount is 
received (except that such amount shall be treated as received for 
purposes of the limitations imposed by this section in the earlier 
taxable year or years to which such amount is attributable).''
    (f) Effective Date.--
            (1) In general.--The amendments made by subsections (a), 
        (b), (c), and (d) shall apply to taxable years beginning on or 
        after the date of the enactment of this Act. The amendments 
        made by subsection (e) shall apply with respect to election

        respect to any partnership item takes effect (within the 
        meaning of subsection (d)(2)) during any partnership taxable 
        year and if an election under paragraph (2) does not apply to

        individual subject to tax under chapter 1 for the adjusted year

        subsection, the imputed underpayment determined under this 
        paragraph with respect to any partnership adjustment is the 
        underpayment (if any) which would result--

                rate of tax in effect under section 1 or 11 for the 
                adjusted year, and

        loss shall be treated as an increase in income and a similar 
        rule shall apply to a net increase in a loss.

        is filed, the amount for which the partnership would be liable 
        under section 6242(b) (as of the date of the filing of the 
        petition) if the partnership items were adjusted as provided by 
        the notice of partnership adjustment. The court may by order 
        provide that the jurisdictional requirements of this paragraph

filed in accordance with this section shall have jurisdiction to 
determine all partnership items of the partnership for the partnership 
taxable year to which the notice of partnership adjustment relates and

applicability of any penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount for 
which the partnership may be liable under section 6242(b)).
    ``(d) Determination of Court Reviewable.--Any determination by a 
court under this section shall have the force and effect of a decision 
of the Tax Court or a final judgment or decree of the district court or 
the Claims Court, as the case may be, and shall be reviewable as such. 
The date of any such determination shall be treated as being the date 
of the court's order entering the decision.
    ``(e) Effect of Decision Dismissing Action.--If an action brought 
under this section is dismissed other than by reason of a rescission 
under section 6245(b)(3), the decision of the court dismissing the 
action shall be considered as its decision that the notice of 
partnership adjustment is correct, and an appropriate order shall be 
entered in the records of the court.

    ``(a) General Rule.--Except as otherwise provided in this section, 
no adjustment under this subpart to any partnership item for any 
partnership taxable year may be made after the date which is 3 years

        omits from gross income an amount properly includible therein 
        which is in excess of 25 percent of the amount of gross income 
        stated in its return, subsection (a) shall be applied by 
        substituting `6 years' for `3 years'.
