     Income Exclusion Act of 2000, except that for purposes of 
     this paragraph the phaseout percentage for 2004 shall be

     under this subsection to any current FSC/ETI beneficiary 
     shall in no event exceed--

       ``(A) In general.--In any case in which a court determines 
     that the economic substance doctrine is relevant for purposes 
     of this title to a transaction (or series of transactions), 
     such transaction (or series of transactions) shall have 
     economic substance only if the requirements of this paragraph

     in determining whether a transaction has a substantial nontax 
     purpose if the origin of such financial accounting benefit is 
     a reduction of income tax.

     potential.--A transaction shall not be treated as having 
     economic substance by reason of having a potential for profit 
     unless--

     profit from the transaction is

     transaction exceeds a risk-free rate of return.

     parties.--
       ``(A) Special rules for financing transactions.--The form 
     of a transaction which is in substance the borrowing of money

     indirectly from a tax-indifferent party shall not be 
     respected if the present value of the deductions to be 
     claimed with respect to the transaction is substantially in 
     excess of the present value of the anticipated economic 
     returns of the person lending the money or providing the 
     financial capital. A public offering shall be treated as a 
     borrowing, or an acquisition of financial capital, from a

     indifferent parties.

     party' means any person or entity not subject to tax imposed

     account with respect to the transaction have no substantial 
     impact on such person's liability under subtitle A.

     owner (excluding earnings on matching funds) exceeds the 
     amount remaining in such Individual Development Account, then 
     such owner shall forfeit from the parallel account the lesser 
     of such excess or the amount withdrawn.
       (c) Withdrawals From Accounts of Noneligible Individuals.--
     If the individual for whose benefit an Individual Development 
     Account is established ceases to be an eligible individual, 
     such account shall remain an Individual Development Account, 
     but such individual shall not be eligible for any further 
     matching funds under section 506(b)(1)(A) for contributions 
     which are made to the Account during any taxable year when 
     such individual is not an eligible individual.
       (d) Effect of Pledging Account as Security.--If, during any 
     taxable year of the individual for whose benefit an 
     Individual Development Account is established, that 
     individual uses the Account, the individual's parallel 
     account, or any portion thereof as security for a loan, the 
     portion so used shall be treated as a withdrawal of such 
     portion from the Individual Development Account for purposes 
     other than to pay qualified expenses.

     amount which was taken into account in determining the amount 
     of such credit.
       ``(i) Application of Section.--
       ``(1) In general.--This section shall apply to any 
     expenditure made in any taxable year ending after December 
     31, 2004, and beginning on or before January 1, 2012, with 
     respect to any Individual Development Account which--

     the previously opened Individual Development Accounts, does 
     not exceed--
       ``(i) 100,000 Accounts if opened after December 31, 2004, 
     and before January 1, 2007,

     (ii) are opened and the Secretary makes a determination 
     described in paragraph (2).

     Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this section shall 
     apply to amounts which are described in subsection (c)(1)(A) 
     and which are timely deposited into a parallel account during

     accounts.--A determination is described in this paragraph if

       ``(D) the sum of the estimated increased Federal tax 
     liability and reduction of Federal assistance program

     account programs is greater than the cost of the individual 
     development account programs to the Federal government.
       ``(3) Determination of limitation.--The limitation on the 
     number of Individual Development Accounts under paragraph 
     (1)(B) shall be allocated by the Secretary among qualified

     SEC. 701. CLARIFICATION OF ECONOMIC SUBSTANCE DOCTRINE.

       (a) In General.--Section 7701, as amended by this Act, is 
     amended by redesignating subsection (o) as subsection (p) and 
     by inserting after subsection (n) the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(o) Clarification of Economic Substance Doctrine; Etc.--
       ``(1) General rules.--
       ``(A) In general.--In applying the economic substance 
     doctrine, the determination of whether a transaction has 
     economic substance shall be made as provided in this 
     paragraph.
       ``(B) Definition of economic substance.--For purposes of 
     subparagraph (A)--
       ``(i) In general.--A transaction has economic substance 
     only if--

       ``(I) the transaction changes in a meaningful way (apart 
     from Federal tax effects and, if there is any Federal tax 
     effects, also apart from any foreign, State, or local tax 
     effects) the taxpayer's economic position, and
       ``(II) the taxpayer has a substantial nontax purpose for 
     entering into such transaction and the transaction is a 
     reasonable means of accomplishing such purpose.

       ``(ii) Special rule where taxpayer relies on profit 
     potential.--A transaction shall not be treated as having 
     economic substance by reason of having a potential for profit 
     unless--

       ``(I) the present value of the reasonably expected pre-tax 
     profit from the transaction is substantial in relation to the 
     present value of the expected net tax benefits that would be 
     allowed if the transaction were respected, and
       ``(II) the reasonably expected pre-tax profit from the 
     transaction exceeds a risk-free rate of return.

       ``(C) Treatment of fees and foreign taxes.--Fees and other 
     transaction expenses and foreign taxes shall be taken into 
     account as expenses in determining pre-tax profit under 
     subparagraph (B)(ii).
       ``(2) Special rules for transactions with tax-indifferent 
     parties.--
       ``(A) Special rules for financing transactions.--The form 
     of a transaction which is in substance the borrowing of money 
     or the acquisition of financial capital directly or 
     indirectly from a tax-indifferent party shall not be 
     respected if the present value of the deductions to be 
     claimed with respect to the transaction is substantially in 
     excess of the present value of the anticipated economic 
     returns of the person lending the money or providing the 
     financial capital. A public offering shall be treated as a 
     borrowing, or an acquisition of financial capital, from a 
     tax-indifferent party if it is reasonably expected that at 
     least 50 percent of the offering will be placed with tax-
     indifferent parties.
       ``(B) Artificial income shifting and basis adjustments.--
     The form of a transaction with a tax-indifferent party shall 
     not be respected if--
       ``(i) it results in an allocation of income or gain to the 
     tax-indifferent party in excess of such party's economic 
     income or gain, or
       ``(ii) it results in a basis adjustment or shifting of 
     basis on account of overstating the income or gain of the 
     tax-indifferent party.
       ``(3) Definitions and special rules.--For purposes of this 
     subsection--
       ``(A) Economic substance doctrine.--The term `economic 
     substance doctrine' means the common law doctrine under which 
     tax benefits under subtitle A with respect to a transaction 
     are not allowable if the transaction does not have economic 
     substance or lacks a business purpose.
       ``(B) Tax-indifferent party.--The term `tax-indifferent 
     party' means any person or entity not subject to tax imposed 
     by subtitle A. A person shall be treated as a tax-indifferent 
     party with respect to a transaction if the items taken into 
     account with respect to the transaction have no substantial 
     impact on such person's liability under subtitle A.
       ``(C) Exception for personal transactions of individuals.--
     In the case of an individual, this subsection shall apply 
     only to transactions entered into in connection with a trade 
     or business or an activity engaged in for the production of 
     income.
       ``(D) Treatment of lessors.--In applying subclause (I) of 
     paragraph (1)(B)(ii) to the lessor of tangible property 
     subject to a lease, the expected net tax benefits shall not 
     include the benefits of depreciation, or any tax credit, with 
     respect to the leased property and subclause (II) of 
     paragraph (1)(B)(ii) shall be disregarded in determining 
     whether any of such benefits are allowable.
       ``(4) Other common law doctrines not affected.--Except as 
     specifically provided in this subsection, the provisions of
