        made by this section is prevented at any time before the close 
        of the 1-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of 
        this Act by the operation of any law or rule of law (including 
        res judicata), such refund or credit may nevertheless be made 
        or allowed if claim therefor is filed before the close of such 
        period.
