        compensation had been paid in cash on the date that such

                qualified contributions made during the taxpayer's last 
                taxable year beginning before 2018 as does not exceed 
                the taxpayer's qualified inclusion amount. For purposes 
                of subsection (b) of section 170 of such Code, the 
                taxpayer's contribution base for such last taxable year 
                shall be reduced by the amount of the taxpayer's 
                qualified contributions to which such subsection does 
                not apply by reason the preceding sentence.
                    (B) Qualified contributions.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, the term ``qualified contributions'' means

                taxpayer to organizations described in section 
                170(b)(1)(A) of such Code (other than any organization 
                described in section 509(a)(3) of such Code or any fund 
                or account described in section 4966(d)(2) of such 
                Code).
                    (C) Qualified inclusion amount.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph, the term ``qualified inclusion amount'' 
                means the amount includible in the taxpayer's gross 
                income for the last taxable year beginning before 2018 
                by reason of paragraph (2).
            (4) Accelerated payments.--No later than 120 days after the 
        date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall issue 
        guidance providing a limited period of time during which a 
        nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement attributable to

        violating the requirements of section 409A(a) of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986, be amended to conform the date of 
        distribution to the date the amounts are required to be 
        included in income.
            (5) Certain back-to-back arrangements.--If the taxpayer is 
        also a service recipient and maintains one or more nonqualified 
        deferred compensation arrangements for its service providers 
        under which any amount is attributable to services performed on 
        or before December 31, 2008, the guidance issued under 
        paragraph (4) shall permit such arrangements to be amended to 
        conform the dates of distribution under such arrangement to the 
        date amounts are required to be included in the income of such 
        taxpayer under this subsection.
            (6) Accelerated payment not treated as material 
        modification.--Any amendment to a nonqualified deferred 
        compensation arrangement made pursuant to paragraph (4) or (5) 
        shall not be treated as a material modification of the 
        arrangement for purposes of section 409A of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986.
