SEC. 101. REPLACING THE INCOME TAX OF THE UNITED STATES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the current Tax Code is irreparably flawed and must be 
        replaced;
            (2) to enhance the liberty and protect the privacy of 
        individuals, the Tax Code must be made simpler and 
        nonintrusive, and it must be applied evenhandedly to all;
            (3) to be fair and to provide for the prosperity of current 
        and future generation, the Tax Code must give all individuals 
        at all income levels an opportunity to save, invest and raise 
        their standard of living and that of their children; and
            (4) future economic growth requires a tax system that 
        facilitates successful competition in the global marketplace.
    (b) Main Features of Simplified USA Tax System.--
            (1) Replacement of old tax system.--Chapter 1 of subtitle A 
        (related to income taxes) of the Code is repealed and replaced 
        for years beginning after 2001.
            (2) Estate and gift tax repealed.
            (3) New tax system.--The Simplified USA Tax consists of--
                    (A) a simplified tax collected from individuals, 
                that for years after 2001 replaces the income tax 
                imposed on individuals by section 1 of the Code, and
                    (B) a simplified tax collected from corporations 
                and other businesses, that for years after 2001 
                replaces the income tax imposed on corporations by 
                section 11 of the Code.
            (3) Simplified usa tax on gross profits.--Corporations and 
        other businesses pay tax on their annual gross profits from 
        business conducted in the United States, except that--
                    (A) export revenues are excluded, and
                    (B) imports are taxed.
            (4) Simplified usa tax on income.--Individuals pay tax on 
        their annual income from wages, dividends, interest, and other 
        financial income (including sales of property), except that--
                    (A) investment earnings on previously taxed income 
                that is placed in a Roth IRA is exempt from further 
                taxation,
                    (B) a portion of each family's income is exempt 
                from tax, and
                    (C) deductions are allowed for--
                            (i) education costs,
                            (ii) religious, charitable, and other 
                        philanthropic donations,
                            (iii) home mortgage interest payments, and
                            (iv) contributions to qualified IRAs.
            (5) Credit for fica payroll taxes paid.--The amount of tax 
        due is reduced by the payroll tax that is--
                    (A) in the case of an employee, withheld from 
                wages, or
                    (B) in the case of a corporation or other business, 
                paid by the employer.
    (c) Concepts and Structure of New Tax System.--
            (1) Guiding principles of the simplified usa tax system.--
        The Simplified USA Tax is based on the following principles:
                    (A) National wealth and well-being depend on the 
                work, skill, and savings and investment of people.
                    (B) Businesses are people and their capital working 
                together.
                    (C) Capital makes people more productive.
                    (D) Everyone benefits from a growing stock of 
                national savings which in turn allows for a growing 
                stock of physical and human capital.
                    (E) Under the Simplified USA Tax, the deferral of 
                taxation on investments in human capital represents an 
                investment by the Federal government in the nation's 
                capital stock and the Federal government shares in the 
                return on its investment in the form of higher economic 
                output and revenues in the future.
            (2) Single tax in 2 parts.--The Simplified USA Tax is 
        composed of a business tax and an individual tax which are 2 
        parts of a single tax system that subjects all income produced 
        and received to taxation once and only once. The 2 parts are as 
        follows:
                    (A) Business tax at the source of income.--Tax is 
                paid by corporations and other businesses which produce 
                and sell goods and services that are--
                            (i) the source of nearly all the gross 
                        domestic product of the United States, and
                            (ii) the ultimate source of income received 
                        by individuals.
                    (B) Individual tax on income received.--Tax is paid 
                by individuals when they receive wages and salaries as 
                compensation for gross domestic product created by 
                their work.
            (3) Saving and investment.--The Simplified USA Tax allows 
        people to save and businesses to invest as follows:
                    (A) Fair opportunity for people to save.--
                            (i) Optional elimination of double 
                        taxation.--When an individual earns income and 
                        is taxed on that income, the individual can 
                        save that income in a Roth IRA and not pay 
                        income taxes on the investment earnings.
                            (ii) Deductible and excludable savings.--
                        The Simplified USA Tax continues provisions of 
                        present law that allow--
                                    (I) lower income individuals and 
                                certain others to make deductible 
                                contributions to individual retirement 
                                accounts, and
                                    (II) encourage employer sponsored 
                                savings and retirement plans that defer 
                                taxation of income through use of 
                                401(k) plans and other qualified 
                                retirement plans.
                    (B) Fair opportunity for businesses to invest.--
                            (i) No prepayment of tax.--When a business 
                        invests in plant and equipment--
                                    (I) a deduction is allowed for the 
                                cost, and
                                    (II) tax is deferred.
                            (ii) Tax on earnings and recovery of 
                        cost.--When recovered out of business revenues, 
                        both the cost of the investment and the 
                        earnings on the investment are included in 
                        gross profit subject to tax.
                            (iii) Expensing.--The deduction for 
                        investment is the equivalent of allowing the 
                        cost of plant and equipment to be expensed 
                        instead of depreciated.
            (4) Fair opportunity to compete in the global 
        marketplace.--The Simplified USA Tax serves the strategic 
        interests of the United States in international markets as 
        follows:
                    (A) Border adjustable tax.--
                            (i) American-made exports.--Goods and 
                        services produced in the United States can be 
                        sold into world markets free of tax.
                            (ii) Foreign-made imports.--Goods and 
                        services imported into the United States bear a 
                        fair and proportionate share of the tax burden 
                        in the United States.
                            (iii) Leveling the international playing 
                        field.--Border adjustments for exports and 
                        imports are consistent with international 
                        standards and practice.
            (5) A simple and understandable tax.--The Simplified USA 
        Tax for individuals--
                    (A) is written in a simple, understandable form,
                    (B) contains only a few exemptions, deductions, and 
                credits, and can be reported on a tax return only a 
                small fraction the size of Form 1040.
            (6) A nonintrusive, evenhanded tax.--
                    (A) Taxpayers are in control.--When the rules are 
                few and clear, taxpayers can calculate their own tax 
                correctly and file their own returns without fear of 
                mistake or of getting caught up in an argument with the 
                IRS.
                    (B) Limited role for irs.--When the rules are few 
                and clear, the IRS does not have the broad interpretive 
                power that puts taxpayers at risk of being treated 
                unfairly and unevenly.
                    (C) Restoring voluntary compliance.--When the rules 
                are few and clear, the IRS can concentrate on helping 
                taxpayers voluntarily pay their correct share of tax 
                revenues for public use and benefit under a tax system 
                that is understood and respected.
            (7) Maintaining tax progressivity for individuals.--
                    (A) Graduated tax.--Like the tax imposed by section 
                1 of the current Code, the Simplified USA Tax for 
                individuals is a graduated tax.
                    (B) Family living allowance.--The Simplified USA 
                Tax recognizes that every family's budget includes 
                necessities. The Simplified USA Tax provides a family 
                living allowance that exempts from taxation the first 
                dollars earned and spent to maintain a basic standard 
                of living.
            (8) Businesses and individual share the tax burden.--
                    (A) Business portion of tax burden.--Corporations 
                and other businesses pay about the same portion of the 
                total tax as under the current Code.
                    (B) Individual portion of tax burden.--Individuals 
                pay about the same portion of the total tax as under 
                the current Code.
            (9) Emphasizing personal independence and responsibility.--
                    (A) Reinforcing a culture of work and thrift.--
                Instead of being solely a calculation of how much they 
                must pay to the government, the Simplified USA Tax 
                converts the income tax into an annual calculation of 
                how much people produce and contribute to the economy.
                    (B) Greater control and responsibility.--Because 
                people are not double taxed on their saving, they 
                have--
                            (i) more control over their own income and 
                        taxes,
                            (ii) a greater ability to plan and provide 
                        for their own future, and
                            (iii) a fair opportunity to do so.
            (10) More opportunity for wage earners at lower income 
        levels.--
                    (A) Refundable credit for employee payroll tax.--
                The amount of the payroll tax paid or withheld under 
                the Code from an employee's wages (and paid into the 
                Social Security and Hospital Insurance Trust Funds) 
                is--
                            (i) credited against the employee's income 
                        tax, and
                            (ii) refunded to the employee to the extent 
                        in excess of the employee's income tax.
                    (B) No effect on trust fund or benefits.--The 
                income tax credit allowed for payroll taxes deposited 
                in the Social Security Trust Fund does not--
                            (i) reduce the amount in such fund, or
                            (ii) reduce the payment of any person's 
                        benefits from the fund.

distributed (by an estate or trust described in section 146), the sum 
of the following amounts:
            ``(1) Amounts required to be distributed currently.--The 
        amount of income for the taxable year required to be 
        distributed currently to such beneficiary, whether distributed 
        or not. If the amount of income required to be distributed 
        currently to all beneficiaries exceeds the distributable net 
        income (computed without the deduction allowed by section 
        142(b), relating to deduction for charitable, etc., purposes) 
        of the estate or trust, then, in lieu of the amount provided in 
        the preceding sentence, there shall be included in the gross 
        income of the beneficiary an amount which bears the same ratio 
        to distributable net income (as so computed) as the amount of 
        income required to be distributed currently to such beneficiary 
        bears to the amount required to be distributed currently to all 
        beneficiaries. For purposes of this section, the phrase `the 
        amount of income for the taxable year required to be 
        distributed currently' includes any amount required to be paid 
        out of income or corpus to the extent such amount is paid out 
        of income for such taxable year.
            ``(2) Other amounts distributed.--All other amounts 
        properly paid, credited, or required to be distributed to such 
        beneficiary for the taxable year. If the sum of--
                    ``(A) the amount of income for the taxable year

                required to be distributed to all beneficiaries
        exceeds the distributable net income of the estate or trust, 
        then, in lieu of the amount provided in the preceding sentence, 
        there shall be included in the gross income of the beneficiary 
        an amount which bears the same ratio to distributable net 
income (reduced by the amounts specified in (A)) as the other amounts 
properly paid, credited or required to be distributed to the 
beneficiary bear to the other amounts properly paid, credited, or 
required to be distributed to all beneficiaries.
    ``(b) Character of Amounts.--The amounts determined under 
subsection (a) shall have the same character in the hands of the 
beneficiary as in the hands of the estate or trust. For this purpose, 
the amounts shall be treated as consisting of the same proportion of 
each class of items entering into the computation of distributable net 
income as the total of each class bears to the total distributable net 
income of the estate or trust unless the terms of the governing 
instrument specifically allocate different classes of income to 
different beneficiaries. In the application of the preceding sentence, 
the items of deduction entering into the computation of distributable 
net income (including the deduction allowed under section 142(b)) shall 
be allocated among the items of distributable net income in accordance 
with regulations prescribed by the Secretary. In the application of 
this subsection to the amount determined under paragraph (1) of 
subsection (a), distributable net income shall be computed without 
regard to any portion of the deduction under section 142(b) which is 
not attributable to income of the taxable year.

``SEC. 148. SPECIAL RULES APPLICABLE TO SECTIONS 146 AND 147.

    ``(a) Exclusions.--There shall not be included as amounts falling 
within section 146(a) or 147(a)--
            ``(1) Gifts, bequests, etc.--Any amount which, under the 
        terms of the governing instrument, is properly paid or credited 
        as a gift or bequest of a specific sum of money or of specific 
        property and which is paid or credited all at once or in not 
        more than 3 installments. For this purpose an amount which can 
        be paid or credited only from the income of the estate or trust 
        shall not be considered as a gift or bequest of a specific sum 
        of money.
            ``(2) Charitable, etc., distributions.--Any amount paid or 
        permanently set aside or otherwise qualifying for the deduction 
        provided in section 142(b) (computed without regard to sections 
        508(d), 162, and 4948(c)(4)).
            ``(3) Denial of double deduction.--Any amount paid, 
        credited, or distributed in the taxable year, if section 144 or 
        section 146 applied to such amount for a preceding taxable year 
        of an estate or trust because credited or required to be 
        distributed in such preceding taxable year.
    ``(b) Distributions in First Sixty-Five Days of Taxable Year.--
            ``(1) General rule.--If within the first 65 days of any 
        taxable year of an estate or a trust, an amount is properly 
        paid or credited, such amount shall be considered paid or 
        credited on the last day of the preceding taxable year.
            ``(2) Limitation.--Paragraph (1) shall apply with respect 
        to any taxable year of an estate or a trust only if the 
        executor of such estate or the fiduciary of such trust (as the 
        case may be) elects, in such manner and at such time as the 
        Secretary prescribes by regulations, to have paragraph (1) 
        apply for such taxable year.
    ``(c) Separate Shares Treated as Separate Estates or Trusts.--For 
the sole purpose of determining the amount of distributable net income 
in the application of sections 146 and 147, in the case of a single 
trust having more than one beneficiary, substantially separate and 
independent shares of different beneficiaries in the trust shall be 
treated as separate trusts. Rules similar to the rules of the preceding 
provisions of this subsection shall apply to treat substantially 
separate and independent shares of different beneficiaries in an estate 
having more than 1 beneficiary as separate estates. The existence of 
such substantially separate and independent shares and the manner of 
treatment as separate trusts or estates, including the application of 
sections 150 through 152, shall be determined in accordance with 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary.

``SEC. 149. CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS.

    ``(a) General Rule.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
subchapter, the provisions of this section shall, in accordance with 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary, apply in the case of a 
charitable remainder annuity trust and a charitable remainder unitrust.

charitable remainder annuity trust or by a charitable remainder 
unitrust shall be considered as having the following characteristics in 
the hands of a beneficiary to whom is paid the annuity described in 
subsection (d)(1)(A) or the payment described in subsection (d)(2)(A):
            ``(1) First, as amounts of income (other than gains, and 
        amounts treated as gains, from the sale or other disposition of 
        capital assets) includible in gross income to the extent of 
        such income of the trust for the year and such undistributed 
income of the trust for prior years;

        of the trust for the year and such undistributed income of the 
        trust for prior years; and
            ``(4) Fourth, as a distribution of trust corpus.
For purposes of this section, the trust shall determine the amount of 
its undistributed capital gain on a cumulative net basis.
    ``(c) Exemption From Income Taxes.--A charitable remainder annuity 
trust and a charitable remainder unitrust shall, for any taxable year, 
not be subject to any tax imposed by this chapter. Any such trust shall 
be liable for tax on its unrelated business taxable income (within the 
meaning of section 255).

such taxable year exceeds the sum of--
            ``(1) the amounts for such taxable year specified in

required to be distributed to a beneficiary from a trust (other than a 
foreign trust) as income accumulated before the birth of such 
beneficiary or before such beneficiary attains the age of 21. If the

trust for the taxable year do not exceed the income of the trust for 
such year, there shall be no accumulation distribution for such year.

of such trust for a taxable year shall be deemed to be an amount within 
the meaning of paragraph (2) of section 146(a) distributed on the last 
day of each of the preceding taxable years, commencing with the 
earliest of such years, to the extent that such amount exceeds the 
total of any undistributed net income for all earlier preceding taxable 
years. The amount deemed to be distributed in any such preceding 
taxable year under the preceding sentence shall not exceed the 
undistributed net income for such preceding taxable year. For purposes 
of this subsection, undistributed net income for each of such preceding 
taxable years shall be computed without regard to such accumulation 
distribution and without regard to any accumulation distribution 
determined for any succeeding taxable year.
    ``(b) Total Taxes Deemed Distributed.--If any portion of an 
accumulation distribution for any taxable year is deemed under 
subsection (a) to be an amount within the meaning of paragraph (2) of 
section 146(a) distributed on the last day of any preceding taxable 
year, and such portion of such distribution is not less than the 
undistributed net income for such preceding taxable year, the trust 
shall be deemed to have distributed on the last day of such preceding 
taxable year an additional amount within the meaning of paragraph (2) 
of section 146(a). Such additional amount shall be equal to the taxes 
imposed on the trust for such preceding taxable year attributable 
to the undistributed net income. For purposes of this subsection, the 
undistributed net income and the taxes imposed on the trust for such 
preceding taxable year attributable to such undistributed net income 
shall be computed without regard to such accumulation distribution and 
without regard to any accumulation distribution determined for any 
succeeding taxable year.

of an accumulation distribution for any taxable year is deemed under 
subsection (a) to be an amount within the meaning of paragraph (2) of 
section 146(a) distributed on the last day of any preceding taxable 
year and such portion of the accumulation distribution is less than the 
undistributed net income for such preceding taxable year, the trust 
shall be deemed to have distributed on the last day of such preceding 
taxable year an additional amount within the meaning of paragraph (2) 
of section 146(a). Such additional amount shall be equal to the taxes 
imposed on the trust for such taxable year attributable to the 
undistributed net income multiplied by the ratio of the portion of the 
accumulation distribution to the undistributed net income of the trust 
for such year. For purposes of this subsection, the undistributed net 
income and the taxes imposed on the trust for such preceding taxable 
year attributable to such undistributed net income shall be computed 
without regard to the accumulation distribution and without regard to 
any accumulation distribution determined for any succeeding taxable 
year.
    ``(d) Rule When Information Is Not Available.--If adequate records 
are not available to determine the proper application of this 
subchapter to an amount distributed by a trust, such amount shall be 
deemed to be an accumulation distribution consisting of undistributed 
net income earned during the earliest preceding taxable year of the 
trust in which it can be established that the trust was in existence.

exempt interest to which section 103 applies, under section 147(b)) if 
such total had been paid to such beneficiary on the last day of such

        years determined under subparagraph (A), over the amount of

        power were a reversionary interest; but the grantor may be 
        treated as the owner after the occurrence of the event unless 
        the power is relinquished.

        holdings of the grantor and the trust are significant from the 
viewpoint of voting control; (B) a power to control the investment of 
the trust funds either by directing investments or reinvestments, or by

Event.--Subsection (a) shall not apply to a power the exercise of which 
can only affect the beneficial enjoyment of the income for a period 
commencing after the occurrence of an event such that a grantor would 
not be treated as the owner under section 155 if the power were a

only affect the beneficial enjoyment of the income for a period 
commencing after the occurrence of an event such that the grantor would

reversionary interest; but the grantor may be treated as the owner 
after the occurrence of the event unless the power is relinquished.
    ``(b) Obligations of Support.--Income of a trust shall not be 
considered taxable to the grantor under subsection (a) or any other 
provision of this chapter merely because such income in the discretion 
of another person, the trustee, or the grantor acting as trustee or co-
trustee, may be applied or distributed for the support or maintenance 
of a beneficiary (other than the grantor's spouse) whom the grantor is 
legally obligated to support or maintain, except to the extent that 
such income is so applied or distributed. In cases where the amounts so 
applied or distributed are paid out of corpus or out of other than 
income for the taxable year, such amounts shall be considered to be an 
amount paid or credited within the meaning of paragraph (2) of section 
146(a) and shall be taxed to the grantor under section 147.

        principles of sections 153 to 159, inclusive, subject a grantor 
        of a trust to treatment as the owner thereof.

apply with respect to a power over income, as originally granted or 
thereafter modified, if the grantor of the trust or a transferor (to

sections 153 through 159 or section 161.

power which enables such person, in the capacity of trustee or 
cotrustee, merely to apply the income of the trust to the support or 
maintenance of a person whom the holder of the power is obligated to 
support or maintain except to the extent that such income is so 
applied. In cases where the amounts so applied or distributed are paid 
out of corpus or out of other than income of the taxable year, such 
amounts shall be considered to be an amount paid or credited within the 
meaning of paragraph (2) of section 146(a) and shall be taxed to the 
holder of the power under section 147.

                two entities file a consolidated return or if two 
                business entities merge, the loss carryovers will 
                survive and can be applied against the taxable receipts 
                attributable to the business activities carried on (or 
                in the case of a merger formerly carried on) by either 
                entity.

                another entity in a transaction that is considered an 
                asset acquisition rather than the acquisition of a 
                business entity, the acquirer will be treated as if it 
                acquired the loss carryovers of the selling entity. For 
                purposes of this rule, the assets of a business entity 
                include ownership interests in other business entities.

                percent of the fair market value of a business entity's

            ``(1) Cash.--If a business entity contributes cash to a 
        business entity of which it is or becomes a partial or full 
        owner, the amount contributed is not a deductible amount to the 
        contributor or a taxable receipt to the recipient.
            ``(2) Property or services.--If a business entity 
        contributes property or services to a business entity of which 
        it is or becomes a partial or full owner, the transaction will 
        not result in taxable receipts to the contributor or a 
        deduction for a business purchase for the recipient and will 
        not constitute a sale resulting in taxable receipts to the 
        contributor.
    ``(b) By Individual.--
            ``(1) Cash.--If an individual contributes cash to a 
        business entity, the cash received is not a taxable receipt.
            ``(2) New property.--If an individual contributes to a 
        business entity property that the individual purchased for the 
        business entity but which was not used by any person after its 
        purchase, the property shall be considered purchased by such 
        business entity from the person from which the individual 
        purchased the property.
            ``(3) Personal use property.--
                    ``(A) In general.--If an individual contributes 
                personal use property to a business entity in which the 
                individual has an ownership interest or for which the 
                individual receives an ownership interest, the business 
                entity shall not be permitted to deduct the value of 
                the property received as a business expense. The 
                business entity will have a tax basis in the 
                contributed property equal to the contributor's basis.
                    ``(B) Personal use property.--`Personal use 
                property' means any property used by an individual at 
                any time other than in a business activity.
            ``(4) Services.--If an individual contributes services to a 
        business entity in which the individual has an ownership 
        interest or receives an ownership interest, the business entity 
        shall not be permitted to deduct the value of the services 
        received (or the value of the equity interest provided to the 
        services provider).

``SEC. 211. DISTRIBUTIONS OF PROPERTY.

    ``(a) Distributions Other Than to Controlling Business.--If a 
business entity distributes all or a portion of its assets to its 
owners (other than a controlling business entity), the business entity 
will be treated as if it sold the assets to its owners at fair market 
value. The fair market value will be determined by the distributing 
corporation and those determinations, unless unreasonable, will be 
binding on the recipients.
    ``(b) Distributions to a Controlling Business.--If a business 
entity distributes all or a portion of its assets to a controlling 
business, the controlling business will assume the distributing 
entity's tax attributes with respect to the assets and neither entity 
will have taxable receipts or a deduction as a result of the 
transaction.
    ``(c) Distribution of Personal Use Property.--If personal use 
property is distributed to the individual who contributed the personal 
use property to a business entity, the fair market value of the 
property for purposes of paragraph (a) shall equal the basis of the 
property plus any enhancement in value of the property attributable to 
business purchases with respect to the property.
    ``(d) Controlling Business Entity.--A business entity is a 
`controlling business entity' with respect to another business entity 
if it owns directly or indirectly more than 50 percent of the profits 
or capital interest in the other business entity.
    ``(e) Application of This Section.--This section applies to both 
liquidating and nonliquidating distributions. Property shall be treated 
as distributed if the property is used for a nonbusiness purpose (as 
defined in section 232) for more than an insubstantial period of time 
during a taxable year. See section 232 for rules relating to certain 
rental property.

``SEC. 212. ASSET ACQUISITIONS.

    ``(a) In General.--If a business entity transfers some or all of 
its assets, the consideration received for such assets shall be 
allocated among the assets transferred in the same manner as was 
required by section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If the 
transferee and transferor agree in writing on the allocation of any 
consideration, or as to the fair market value of any of the assets, 
such agreement shall be binding on both the transferor and transferee 
unless the Secretary determines that such allocation (or fair market 
value) is not appropriate.
    ``(b) Tax Consequences.--The tax consequences of an asset 
acquisition shall be determined in accordance with the rules of this 
chapter and shall be dependent upon allocations made under subsection 
(a). In general, consideration allocable to savings assets, such as 
stock in another business entity, would not be included in taxable 
receipts of the transferor and would not be a business purchase of the 
purchaser, but consideration allocable to the sale of tangible property 
and intangible property (other than savings assets) will constitute 
taxable receipts of the seller and a business purchase of the 
purchaser.
    ``(c) Election To Treat Asset Acquisition as a Stock Acquisition.--
In the case of the sale of substantially all of the assets of a 
business entity or substantially all of the assets of a line of 
business or a separately standing business of a business entity, the 
transferee and transferor can jointly elect to treat the acquisition as 
if it were an acquisition of the stock of a business entity holding the 
assets so transferred. In such case, the rules of section 213 shall 
apply.
    ``(d) Authority To Require Allocation Agreement and Notice to the 
Secretary.--If the Secretary determines that certain types of asset 
acquisitions have significant possibilities of tax avoidance, the 
Secretary may require--

`trade or business' includes any activity which is carried on for the 
production of income from the sale of goods or the performance of

within a larger aggregate of similar activities or within a larger 
complex of other endeavors which may, or may not, be related to the 
exempt purposes of the organization. Where an activity carried on for 
profit constitutes an unrelated trade or business, no part of such

the amount of the dividend in the year the dividend is paid or 
incurred.
    ``(b) Patronage Dividends Paid by Marketing Cooperatives.--A 
qualified patronage dividend paid to a patron by a marketing 
cooperative shall be treated as an upward price adjustment in the

business purchases by the amount of the qualified patronage dividend 
and the recipient will increase its taxable receipts by the amount of

        document shall not be treated as a patronage dividend until it

        opportunity to receive a patronage dividend in cash, but 
        instead chooses to accept a per-unit retain certificate or a 
        qualified notice of allocation, the patron will be treated as
