                       I. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND


                         A. Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 644, reported by the Committee on Ways and Means, 
provides that contributions of food inventory by pass-through 
businesses may qualify for an enhanced deduction, which is 
currently available to C corporations. A similar temporary 
provision expired for taxable years beginning after December 
31, 2014. H.R. 644 increases the limitation on deductible 
contributions of food inventory to 15 percent of the taxpayer's 
adjusted gross income (15 percent of taxable income in the case 
of a C corporation) per year.
    In addition, H.R. 644 provides a special basis rule for 
pass-through businesses that do not maintain inventories, under 
which such businesses could treat their basis in the 
contributed food as equal to 25 percent of the fair market 
value of such food. H.R. 644 establishes a rule to determine 
the fair market value of contributed food inventory that cannot 
or will not be sold by the business because of internal 
standards, lack of market or similar circumstances or because 
it was produced exclusively for the purpose of transferring it 
to a charitable organization.

                 B. Background and Need for Legislation

    While the Committee continues actively to pursue 
comprehensive tax reform as a critical means of promoting 
economic growth and job creation, the Committee also believes 
that it is important to provide individuals and small 
businesses permanent, immediate tax relief to encourage faster 
economic growth and job creation, while fostering charitable 
giving. By restoring and making permanent the enhanced 
deduction for donations of food inventory by pass-through 
businesses, like S corporations, H.R. 644 makes the enhanced 
deduction available to all types of businesses, not just C 
corporations. Accordingly, H.R. 644 provides an important 
incentive for food-service companies like restaurants to 
donate, rather than discard, surplus wholesome food inventory 
to charitable organizations that help children and families in 
need. Recognizing that donated food inventory must be properly 
saved, packaged, labeled and kept refrigerated or frozen until 
it is delivered to the charitable organization, H.R. 644 
encourages food-service companies to incur and offset these 
costs through the enhanced deduction. According to testimony 
received by the Committee, the enhanced deduction for food 
inventory has been a vital incentive to support community food 
pantries and other tax-exempt organizations that work to fight 
hunger in local communities across the nation.

                         C. Legislative History


Background

    H.R. 644 was introduced on February 2, 2015, and was 
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Committee action

    The Committee on Ways and Means marked up H.R. 644, the 
Fighting Hunger Incentive Act of 2015, on February 4, 2015, and 
ordered the bill, as amended, favorably reported (with a quorum 
being present).

Committee hearings

    The need for permanent rules regarding the charitable 
deduction for contributions of food inventory was discussed at 
no fewer than two hearings during the 112th and 113th 
Congresses:
           Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee Hearing 
        on Certain Expiring Tax Provisions (April 26, 2012); 
        and
           Full Committee Hearing on Tax Reform and 
        Charitable Contributions (February 14, 2013).

                      II. EXPLANATION OF THE BILL


A. Extension and Expansion of Charitable Deduction for Contributions of 
                 Food Inventory (sec. 170 of the Code)


                              PRESENT LAW

Charitable contributions in general

    In general, an income tax deduction is permitted for 
charitable contributions, subject to certain limitations that 
depend on the type of taxpayer, the property contributed, and 
the donee organization.\1\ In the case of an individual, the 
deduction is limited to various percentages of the contribution 
base, depending on the donee and the property contributed. In 
the case of a corporation,\2\ the deduction generally is 
limited to ten percent of the taxable income (with 
modifications).\3\ Contributions in excess of these limitations 
may be carried forward for up to five taxable years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\Sec. 170.
    \2\Sec. 170(b)(1). The contribution base is the adjusted gross 
income determined without regard to net operating loss carrybacks.
    \3\Sec. 170(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Charitable contributions of cash are deductible in the 
amount contributed. Subject to several exceptions, 
contributions of property are deductible at the fair market 
value of the property. One exception provides that the amount 
of the charitable contribution is reduced by the amount of any 
gain which would not have been long-term capital gain if the 
property contributed had been sold by the taxpayer at its fair 
market value at the time of the contribution.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \4\Sec. 170(e)(1)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

General rules regarding contributions of inventory

    As a result of the exception described above, a taxpayer's 
deduction for charitable contributions of inventory generally 
is limited to the taxpayer's basis (typically, cost) in the 
inventory, or, if less, the fair market value of the inventory.
    However, for certain contributions of inventory, a C 
corporation may claim an enhanced deduction equal to the lesser 
of (1) basis plus one-half of the item's appreciation (i.e., 
basis plus one-half of fair market value in excess of basis) or 
(2) two times basis.\5\ To be eligible for the enhanced 
deduction, the contributed property generally must be inventory 
of the taxpayer and must be contributed to a charitable 
organization described in section 501(c)(3) (except for private 
nonoperating foundations), and the donee must (1) use the 
property consistent with the donee's exempt purpose solely for 
the care of the ill, the needy, or infants; (2) not transfer 
the property in exchange for money, other property, or 
services; and (3) provide the taxpayer a written statement that 
the donee's use of the property will be consistent with such 
requirements. In the case of contributed property subject to 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended, the 
property must satisfy the applicable requirements of such Act 
on the date of transfer and for 180 days prior to the 
transfer.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \5\Sec. 170(e)(3).
    \6\Sec. 170(e)(3)(A)(iv).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    To use the enhanced deduction, the taxpayer must establish 
that the fair market value of the donated item exceeds basis. 
The valuation of food inventory has been the subject of 
disputes between taxpayers and the IRS.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \7\Lucky Stores Inc. v. Commissioner, 105 T.C. 420 (1995) (holding 
that the value of surplus bread inventory donated to charity was the 
full retail price of the bread rather than half the retail price, as 
the IRS asserted).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Temporary rule expanding and modifying the enhanced deduction for 
        contributions of food inventory

    Under a temporary provision, any taxpayer engaged in a 
trade or business, whether or not a C corporation, is eligible 
to claim the enhanced deduction for donations of food 
inventory.\8\ For taxpayers other than C corporations, the 
total deduction for donations of food inventory in a taxable 
year generally may not exceed ten percent of the taxpayer's net 
income for such taxable year from all sole proprietorships, S 
corporations, or partnerships (or other non C corporations) 
from which contributions of apparently wholesome food are made. 
For example, if a taxpayer is a sole proprietor, a shareholder 
in an S corporation, and a partner in a partnership, and each 
business makes charitable contributions of food inventory, the 
taxpayer's deduction for donations of food inventory is limited 
to ten percent of the taxpayer's net income from the sole 
proprietorship and the taxpayer's interests in the S 
corporation and partnership. However, if only the sole 
proprietorship and the S corporation made charitable 
contributions of food inventory, the taxpayer's deduction would 
be limited to ten percent of the net income from the trade or 
business of the sole proprietorship and the taxpayer's interest 
in the S corporation, but not the taxpayer's interest in the 
partnership.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \8\Sec. 170(e)(3)(C).
    \9\The ten-percent limitation does not affect the application of 
the generally applicable percentage limitations. For example, if ten 
percent of a sole proprietor's net income from the proprietor's trade 
or business is greater than 50 percent of the proprietor's contribution 
base which otherwise limits the deduction, the available deduction for 
the taxable year (with respect to contributions to public charities) is 
50 percent of the proprietor's contribution base. Consistent with 
present law, these contributions may be carried forward because they 
exceed the 50-percent limitation. Contributions of food inventory by a 
taxpayer that is not a C corporation that exceed the ten-percent 
limitation but do not exceed the 50-percent limitation may not be 
carried forward.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Under the temporary provision, the enhanced deduction for 
food is available only for food that qualifies as ``apparently 
wholesome food.'' Apparently wholesome food is defined as food 
intended for human consumption that meets all quality and 
labeling standards imposed by Federal, State, and local laws 
and regulations even though the food may not be readily 
marketable due to appearance, age, freshness, grade, size, 
surplus, or other conditions.
    The provision does not apply to contributions made after 
December 31, 2014.

                           REASONS FOR CHANGE

    The Committee believes that charitable organizations 
benefit from charitable contributions of food inventory by non 
C corporations and that the enhanced deduction is a useful 
incentive for the making of such contributions. Accordingly, 
the Committee believes it is appropriate to make permanent the 
special rule for charitable contributions of food inventory by 
all taxpayers engaged in a trade or business.

                        EXPLANATION OF PROVISION

    The provision reinstates and makes permanent the enhanced 
deduction for contributions of food inventory.
    The provision also modifies the enhanced deduction for food 
inventory contributions by: (1) increasing the charitable 
percentage limitation for food inventory contributions and 
clarifying the carryover and coordination rules for these 
contributions; (2) including a presumption concerning the tax 
basis of food inventory donated by certain businesses; and (3) 
including presumptions that may be used when valuing donated 
food inventory.
    First, the ten-percent limitation described above 
applicable to taxpayers other than C corporations is increased 
to 15 percent. For C corporations, these contributions are made 
subject to a limitation of 15 percent of taxable income (as 
modified). The general ten-percent limitation for a C 
corporation does not apply to these contributions, but the ten-
percent limitation applicable to other contributions is reduced 
by the amount of these contributions. Qualifying food inventory 
contributions in excess of these 15-percent limitations may be 
carried forward and treated as qualifying food inventory 
contributions in each of the five succeeding years in order of 
time.
    Second, if the taxpayer does not account for inventory 
under section 471 and is not required to capitalize indirect 
costs under section 263A, the taxpayer may elect, solely for 
computing the enhanced deduction for food inventory, to treat 
the basis of any apparently wholesome food as being equal to 25 
percent of the fair market value of such food.
    Third, in the case of any contribution of apparently 
wholesome food which cannot or will not be sold solely by 
reason of internal standards of the taxpayer, lack of market, 
or similar circumstances, or by reason of being produced by the 
taxpayer exclusively for the purposes of transferring the food 
to an organization described in section 501(c)(3), the fair 
market value of such contribution shall be determined (1) 
without regard to such internal standards, such lack of market 
or similar circumstances, or such exclusive purpose, and (2) by 
taking into account the price at which the same or 
substantially the same food items (as to both type and quality) 
are sold by the taxpayer at the time of the contributions (or, 
if not so sold at such time, in the recent past).

               A. Committee Estimate of Budgetary Effects

    In compliance with clause 3(d) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the following statement is made 
concerning the effects on the budget of the bill, H.R. 644, as 
reported.
    The bill, as reported, is estimated to have the following 
effect on Federal budget receipts for fiscal years 2015-2025:

                                                                      FISCAL YEARS
                                                                  [Millions of dollars]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:Details do not add to totals due to rounding.

    Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XIII of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives, the following statement is made by the 
Joint Committee on Taxation with respect to the provisions of 
the bill amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986: the gross 
budgetary effect (before incorporating macroeconomic effects) 
in any fiscal year is less than 0.25 percent of the current 
projected gross domestic product of the United States for that 
fiscal year; therefore, the bill is not ``major legislation'' 
for purposes of requiring that the estimate include the 
budgetary effects of changes in economic output, employment, 
capital stock and other macroeconomic variables.

B. Statement Regarding New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures Budget 
                               Authority

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee states that the 
bill involves no new or increased budget authority. The 
Committee further states that the revenue-reducing tax 
provisions involve increased tax expenditures. (See amounts in 
table in Part IV.A., above.)

      C. Cost Estimate Prepared by the Congressional Budget Office

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, requiring a cost estimate 
prepared by the CBO, the following statement by CBO is 
provided.

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                  Washington, DC, February 5, 2015.
Hon. Paul Ryan,
Chairman, Committee on Ways and Means,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 644, the Fighting 
Hunger Incentive Act of 2015.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Nate Frentz.
            Sincerely,
                                              Douglas W. Elmendorf.
    Enclosure.

H.R. 644--Fighting Hunger Incentive Act of 2015

    H.R. 644 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to 
permanently extend and expand certain expired provisions that 
provided an enhanced tax deduction for businesses that donated 
their food inventory to charitable organizations. The enhanced 
deduction for food inventory contributions expired after 
December 31, 2014, and applied to sole proprietors, 
partnerships, and other businesses not organized as C 
corporations (which are already permanently allowed an enhanced 
deduction under more general provisions of current law). H.R. 
644 would also expand the maximum deduction for all businesses 
by allowing deductions of food inventory donations up to 15 
percent of the net income of the donating organization, an 
increase from the 10 percent allowed permanently under current 
law for C corporations and allowed previously for other 
businesses. In addition, the bill would allow certain 
businesses to make alternative assumptions about the cost basis 
and fair market value of donated food inventory.
    The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) 
estimates that enacting H.R. 644 would reduce revenues, thus 
increasing federal budget deficits, by about $2.2 billion over 
the 2015-2025 period.
    The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-
reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting 
direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 644 would result in 
revenue losses in each year beginning in 2015. The estimated 
increases in the deficit are shown in the following table.
    JCT has determined that the bill contains no 
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Nathaniel 
Frentz. The estimate was approved by David Weiner, Assistant 
Director for Tax Analysis.

     V. OTHER MATTERS TO BE DISCUSSED UNDER THE RULES OF THE HOUSE


          A. Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    With respect to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives (relating to oversight findings), 
the Committee advises that it was as a result of the 
Committee's review of the provisions of H.R. 644 that the 
Committee concluded that it is appropriate to report the bill, 
as amended, favorably to the House of Representatives with the 
recommendation that the bill do pass.

        B. Statement of General Performance Goals and Objectives

    With respect to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the 
bill contains no measure that authorizes funding, so no 
statement of general performance goals and objectives for which 
any measure authorizes funding is required.

              C. Information Relating to Unfunded Mandates

    This information is provided in accordance with section 423 
of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. No. 104-
4).
    The Committee has determined that the bill does not contain 
Federal mandates on the private sector. The Committee has 
determined that the bill does not impose a Federal 
intergovernmental mandate on State, local, or tribal 
governments.

                D. Applicability of House Rule XXI 5(b)

    Rule XXI 5(b) of the Rules of the House of Representatives 
provides, in part, that ``A bill or joint resolution, 
amendment, or conference report carrying a Federal income tax 
rate increase may not be considered as passed or agreed to 
unless so determined by a vote of not less than three-fifths of 
the Members voting, a quorum being present.'' The Committee has 
carefully reviewed the bill, and states that the bill does not 
involve any Federal income tax rate increases within the 
meaning of the rule.

                       E. Tax Complexity Analysis

    Section 4022(b) of the Internal Revenue Service 
Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (the ``IRS Reform Act'') 
requires the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (in 
consultation with the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury 
Department) to provide a tax complexity analysis. The 
complexity analysis is required for all legislation reported by 
the Senate Committee on Finance, the House Committee on Ways 
and Means, or any committee of conference if the legislation 
includes a provision that directly or indirectly amends the 
Internal Revenue Code and has widespread applicability to 
individuals or small businesses.
    Pursuant to clause 3(h)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the staff of the Joint Committee on 
Taxation has determined that a complexity analysis is not 
required under section 4022(b) of the IRS Reform Act because 
the bill contains no provisions that amend the Code and that 
have ``widespread applicability'' to individuals or small 
businesses, within the meaning of the rule.

  F. Congressional Earmarks, Limited Tax Benefits, and Limited Tariff 
                                Benefits

    With respect to clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee has carefully reviewed 
the provisions of the bill, and states that the provisions of 
the bill do not contain any congressional earmarks, limited tax 
benefits, or limited tariff benefits within the meaning of the 
rule.

                   G. Duplication of Federal Programs

    In compliance with Sec. 3(g)(2) of H. Res. 5 (114th 
Congress), the Committee states that no provision of the bill 
establishes or reauthorizes: (1) a program of the Federal 
Government known to be duplicative of another Federal program, 
(2) a program included in any report from the Government 
Accountability Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of 
Public Law 111-139, or (3) a program related to a program 
identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance, published pursuant to the Federal Program 
Information Act (Public Law 95-220, as amended by Public Law 
98-169).

                 H. Disclosure of Directed Rule Makings

    In compliance with Sec. 3(i) of H. Res. 5 (114th Congress), 
the following statement is made concerning directed rule 
makings: The Committee estimates that the bill requires no 
directed rule makings within the meaning of such section.

       VI. CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED

  In compliance with clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, changes in existing law made by 
the bill, as reported, are shown as follows (existing law

          (1) General rule.--There shall be allowed as a 
        deduction any charitable contribution (as defined in 
        subsection (c)) payment of which is made within the 
        taxable year. A charitable contribution shall be 
        allowable as a deduction only if verified under 
        regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
          (2) Corporations on accrual basis.--In the case of a 
        corporation reporting its taxable income on the accrual 
        basis, if--
                  (A) the board of directors authorizes a 
                charitable contribution during any taxable 
                year, and
                  (B) payment of such contribution is made

                before the 15th day of the third month 
                following the close of such taxable year,
        then the taxpayer may elect to treat such contribution 
        as paid during such taxable year. The election may be 
        made only at the time of the filing of the return for 
        such taxable year, and shall be signified in such 
        manner as the Secretary shall by regulations prescribe.
          (3) Future interests in tangible personal property.--
        For purposes of this section, payment of a charitable 
        contribution which consists of a future interest in

        the actual possession or enjoyment of, the property 
        have expired or are held by persons other than the 
        taxpayer or those standing in a relationship to the 
        taxpayer described in section 267(b) or 707(b). For 
        purposes of the preceding sentence, a fixture which is 
        intended to be severed from the real property shall be 
        treated as tangible personal property.
  (b) Percentage Limitations.--
          (1) Individuals.--In the case of an individual, the 
        deduction provided in subsection (a) shall be limited 
        as provided in the succeeding subparagraphs.
                  (A) General rule.--Any charitable 
                contribution to--

                        association of churches,
                          (ii) an educational organization 
                        which normally maintains a regular 
                        faculty and curriculum and normally has 
                        a regularly enrolled body of pupils or

                        January 1 of the fifth calendar year 
                        which begins after the date such

                        subsection (c)(1) or from direct or 
                        indirect contributions from the general 
                        public,
                          (vii) a private foundation described 
                        in subparagraph (F), or
                          (viii) an organization described in 
                        section 509(a)(2) or (3),
                shall be allowed to the extent that the 
                aggregate of such contributions does not exceed 
                50 percent of the taxpayer's contribution base 
                for the taxable year.
                  (B) Other contributions.--Any charitable 
                contribution other than a charitable 
                contribution to which subparagraph (A) applies 
                shall be allowed to the extent that the 
                aggregate of such contributions does not exceed 
                the lesser of--
                          (i) 30 percent of the taxpayer's 
                        contribution base for the taxable year, 
                        or
                          (ii) the excess of 50 percent of the 
                        taxpayer's contribution base for the 
                        taxable year over the amount of 
                        charitable contributions allowable 
                        under subparagraph (A) (determined 
                        without regard to subparagraph (C)).
                If the aggregate of such contributions exceeds 
                the limitation of the preceding sentence, such 
                excess shall be treated (in a manner consistent 
                with the rules of subsection (d)(1)) as a 
                charitable contribution (to which subparagraph 
                (A) does not apply) in each of the 5 succeeding 
                taxable years in order of time.
                  (C) Special limitation with respect to 
                contributions described in subparagraph (A) of 
                certain capital gain property.--
                          (i) In the case of charitable 
                        contributions described in subparagraph 
                        (A) of capital gain property to which 
                        subsection (e)(1)(B) does not apply, 
                        the total amount of contributions of 
                        such property which may be taken into 
                        account under subsection (a) for any 
                        taxable year shall not exceed 30 
                        percent of the taxpayer's contribution 
                        base for such year. For purposes of 
                        this subsection, contributions of 
                        capital gain property to which this 
                        subparagraph applies shall be taken 
                        into account after all other charitable 
                        contributions (other than charitable 
                        contributions to which subparagraph (D) 
                        applies).
                          (ii) If charitable contributions 
                        described in subparagraph (A) of 
                        capital gain property to which clause 
                        (i) applies exceeds 30 percent of the 
                        taxpayer's contribution base for any 
                        taxable year, such excess shall be 
                        treated, in a manner consistent with 
                        the rules of subsection (d)(1), as a 
                        charitable contribution of capital gain 
                        property to which clause (i) applies in 
                        each of the 5 succeeding taxable years 
                        in order of time.
                          (iii) At the election of the taxpayer 
                        (made at such time and in such manner 
                        as the Secretary prescribes by 
                        regulations), subsection (e)(1) shall 
                        apply to all contributions of capital 
                        gain property (to which subsection 
                        (e)(1)(B) does not otherwise apply) 
                        made by the taxpayer during the taxable 
                        year. If such an election is made, 
                        clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to 
                        contributions of capital gain property 
                        made during the taxable year, and, in 
                        applying subsection (d)(1) for such 
                        taxable year with respect to 
                        contributions of capital gain property 
                        made in any prior contribution year for 
                        which an election was not made under 
                        this clause, such contributions shall 
                        be reduced as if subsection (e)(1) had 
                        applied to such contributions in the 
                        year in which made.
                          (iv) For purposes of this paragraph, 
                        the term ``capital gain property'' 
                        means, with respect to any 
                        contribution, any capital asset the 
                        sale of which at its fair market value 
                        at the time of the contribution would 
                        have resulted in gain which would have 
                        been long-term capital gain. For 
                        purposes of the preceding sentence, any 
                        property which is property used in the 
                        trade or business (as defined in 
                        section 1231(b)) shall be treated as a 
                        capital asset.
                  (D) Special limitation with respect to 
                contributions of capital gain property to 
                organizations not described in subparagraph 
                (A).--
                          (i) In general.--In the case of 
                        charitable contributions (other than 
                        charitable contributions to which 
                        subparagraph (A) applies) of capital 
                        gain property, the total amount of such 
                        contributions of such property taken 
                        into account under subsection (a) for 
                        any taxable year shall not exceed the 
                        lesser of--
                                  (I) 20 percent of the 
                                taxpayer's contribution base 
                                for the taxable year, or
                                  (II) the excess of 30 percent 
                                of the taxpayer's contribution 
                                base for the taxable year over 
                                the amount of the contributions 
                                of capital gain property to 
                                which subparagraph (C) applies.
                        For purposes of this subsection, 
                        contributions of capital gain property 
                        to which this subparagraph applies 
                        shall be taken into account after all 
                        other charitable contributions.
                          (ii) Carryover.--If the aggregate 
                        amount of contributions described in 
                        clause (i) exceeds the limitation of 
                        clause (i), such excess shall be 
                        treated (in a manner consistent with 
                        the rules of subsection (d)(1)) as a 
                        charitable contribution of capital gain 
                        property to which clause (i) applies in 
                        each of the 5 succeeding taxable years 
                        in order of time.
                  (E) Contributions of qualified conservation 
                contributions.--
                          (i) In general.--Any qualified 
                        conservation contribution (as defined 
                        in subsection (h)(1)) shall be allowed 
                        to the extent the aggregate of such 
                        contributions does not exceed the 
                        excess of 50 percent of the taxpayer's 
                        contribution base over the amount of 
                        all other charitable contributions 
                        allowable under this paragraph.
                          (ii) Carryover.--If the aggregate 
                        amount of contributions described in 
                        clause (i) exceeds the limitation of 
                        clause (i), such excess shall be 
                        treated (in a manner consistent with 
                        the rules of subsection (d)(1)) as a 
                        charitable contribution to which clause 
                        (i) applies in each of the 15 
                        succeeding years in order of time.
                          (iii) Coordination with other 
                        subparagraphs.--For purposes of 
                        applying this subsection and subsection 
                        (d)(1), contributions described in 
                        clause (i) shall not be treated as 
                        described in subparagraph (A), (B), 
                        (C), or (D) and such subparagraphs 
                        shall apply without regard to such 
                        contributions.
                          (iv) Special rule for contribution of 
                        property used in agriculture or 
                        livestock production.--
                                  (I) In general.--If the 
                                individual is a qualified 
                                farmer or rancher for the 
                                taxable year for which the 
                                contribution is made, clause 
                                (i) shall be applied by 
                                substituting ``100 percent'' 
                                for ``50 percent''.
                                  (II) Exception.--Subclause 
                                (I) shall not apply to any 
                                contribution of property made 
                                after the date of the enactment 
                                of this subparagraph which is 
                                used in agriculture or 
                                livestock production (or 
                                available for such production) 
                                unless such contribution is 
                                subject to a restriction that 
                                such property remain available 
                                for such production. This 
                                subparagraph shall be applied 
                                separately with respect to 
                                property to which subclause (I) 
                                does not apply by reason of the 
                                preceding sentence prior to its 
                                application to property to 
                                which subclause (I) does apply.
                          (v) Definition.--For purposes of 
                        clause (iv), the term ``qualified 
                        farmer or rancher'' means a taxpayer 
                        whose gross income from the trade or 
                        business of farming (within the meaning 
                        of section 2032A(e)(5)) is greater than 
                        50 percent of the taxpayer's gross 
                        income for the taxable year.
                          (vi) Termination.--This subparagraph 
                        shall not apply to any contribution

                        December 31, 2014.
                  (F) Certain private foundations.--The private 
                foundations referred to in subparagraph 
                (A)(vii) and subsection (e)(1)(B) are--
                          (i) a private operating foundation 
                        (as defined in section 4942(j)(3)),
                          (ii) any other private foundation (as 
                        defined in section 509(a)) which, not 
                        later than the 15th day of the third 
                        month after the close of the 
                        foundation's taxable year in which 
                        contributions are received, makes 
                        qualifying distributions (as defined in 
                        section 4942(g), without regard to 
                        paragraph (3) thereof), which are 
                        treated, after the application of 
                        section 4942(g)(3), as distributions 
                        out of corpus (in accordance with 
                        section 4942(h)) in an amount equal to 
                        100 percent of such contributions, and 
                        with respect to which the taxpayer 
                        obtains adequate records or other 
                        sufficient evidence from the foundation 
                        showing that the foundation made such 
                        qualifying distributions, and
                          (iii) a private foundation all of the 
                        contributions to which are pooled in a 
                        common fund and which would be 
                        described in section 509(a)(3) but for 
                        the right of any substantial 
                        contributor (hereafter in this clause 
                        called ``donor'') or his spouse to 
                        designate annually the recipients, from 
                        among organizations described in

                        apply only if all of the income of the

                        day of the third month after the close 
                        of the taxable year in which the income 
                        is realized by the fund and only if all

                        charitable contributions allowable

                contributions described in subsection (b)(1)(A) 
                payment of which is made within a taxable year 
                (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as 
                the ``contribution year'') exceeds 50 percent 
                of the taxpayer's contribution base for such 
                year, such excess shall be treated as a 
                charitable contribution described in subsection 
                (b)(1)(A) paid in each of the 5 succeeding 
                taxable years in order of time, but, with 
                respect to any such succeeding taxable year,

                        described in subsection (b)(1)(A) 
                        payment of which is made by the 
                        taxpayer within such succeeding taxable 
                        year (determined without regard to this

                        contributions described in subsection 
                        (b)(1)(A) payment of which was made in 
                        taxable years before the contribution 
                        year which are treated under this 
                        subparagraph as having been paid in 
                        such succeeding taxable year; or
                          (ii) in the case of the first 
                        succeeding taxable year, the amount of 
                        such excess, and in the case of the 
                        second, third, fourth, or fifth 
                        succeeding taxable year, the portion of 
                        such excess not treated under this 
                        subparagraph as a charitable 
                        contribution described in subsection 
                        (b)(1)(A) paid in any taxable year 
                        intervening between the contribution 
                        year and such succeeding taxable year.
                  (B) Special rule for net operating loss 
                carryovers.--In applying subparagraph (A), the 
                excess determined under subparagraph (A) for 
                the contribution year shall be reduced to the 
                extent that such excess reduces taxable income 
                (as computed for purposes of the second 
                sentence of section 172(b)(2)) and increases 
                the net operating loss deduction for a taxable 
                year succeeding the contribution year.
          (2) Corporations.--
                  (A) In general.--Any contribution made by a 
                corporation in a taxable year (hereinafter in 
                this paragraph referred to as the 
                ``contribution year'') in excess of the amount 
                deductible for such year under subsection 
                (b)(2)(A) shall be deductible for each of the 5 
                succeeding taxable years in order of time, but 
                only to the extent of the lesser of the two 
                following amounts: (i) the excess of the 
                maximum amount deductible for such succeeding 
                taxable year under subsection (b)(2)(A) over 
                the sum of the contributions made in such year 
                plus the aggregate of the excess contributions 
                which were made in taxable years before the 
                contribution year and which are deductible 
                under this subparagraph for such succeeding 
                taxable year; or (ii) in the case of the first 
                succeeding taxable year, the amount of such 
                excess contribution, and in the case of the 
                second, third, fourth, or fifth succeeding 
                taxable year, the portion of such excess 
                contribution not deductible under this 
                subparagraph for any taxable year intervening 
                between the contribution year and such 
                succeeding taxable year.
                  (B) Special rule for net operating loss 
                carryovers.--For purposes of subparagraph (A), 
                the excess of--
                          (i) the contributions made by a 
                        corporation in a taxable year to which 
                        this section applies, over
                          (ii) the amount deductible in such 
                        year under the limitation in subsection 
                        (b)(2)(A),
                shall be reduced to the extent that such excess 
                reduces taxable income (as computed for 
                purposes of the second sentence of section 
                172(b)(2)) and increases a net operating loss 
                carryover under section 172 to a succeeding 
                taxable year.
  (e) Certain Contributions of Ordinary Income and Capital Gain 
Property.--
          (1) General rule.--The amount of any charitable 
        contribution of property otherwise taken into account 
        under this section shall be reduced by the sum of--
                  (A) the amount of gain which would not have 
                been long-term capital gain (determined without 
                regard to section 1221(b)(3)) if the property 
                contributed had been sold by the taxpayer at 
                its fair market value (determined at the time 
                of such contribution), and
                  (B) in the case of a charitable 
                contribution--
                          (i) of tangible personal property--
                                  (I) if the use by the donee 
                                is unrelated to the purpose or 
                                function constituting the basis 
                                for its exemption under section 
                                501 (or, in the case of a 
                                governmental unit, to any 
                                purpose or function described 
                                in subsection (c)), or
                                  (II) which is applicable 
                                property (as defined in 
                                paragraph (7)(C), but without 
                                regard to clause (ii) thereof)

                                the taxable year in which the 
                                contribution was made and with 
                                respect to which the donee has 
                                not made a certification in 
                                accordance with paragraph 
                                (7)(D),
                          (ii) to or for the use of a private 
                        foundation (as defined in section 
                        509(a)), other than a private 
                        foundation described in subsection 
                        (b)(1)(F),
                          (iii) of any patent, copyright (other 
                        than a copyright described in section 
                        1221(a)(3) or 1231(b)(1)(C)), 
                        trademark, trade name, trade secret, 
                        know-how, software (other than software 
                        described in section 197(e)(3)(A)(i)), 
                        or similar property, or applications or 
                        registrations of such property, or
                          (iv) of any taxidermy property which 
                        is contributed by the person who 
                        prepared, stuffed, or mounted the 
                        property or by any person who paid or 
                        incurred the cost of such preparation, 
                        stuffing, or mounting,
                the amount of gain which would have been long-
                term capital gain if the property contributed 
                had been sold by the taxpayer at its fair 
                market value (determined at the time of such 
                contribution).
        For purposes of applying this paragraph (other than in 
        the case of gain to which section 617(d)(1), 1245(a), 
        1250(a), 1252(a), or 1254(a) applies), property which 
        is property used in the trade or business (as defined 
        in section 1231(b)) shall be treated as a capital 
        asset. For purposes of applying this paragraph in the 
        case of a charitable contribution of stock in an S 
        corporation, rules similar to the rules of section 751 
        shall apply in determining whether gain on such stock 
        would have been long-term capital gain if such stock 
        were sold by the taxpayer.
          (2) Allocation of basis.--For purposes of paragraph 
        (1), in the case of a charitable contribution of less 
        than the taxpayer's entire interest in the property 
        contributed, the taxpayer's adjusted basis in such 
        property shall be allocated between the interest 
        contributed and any interest not contributed in 
        accordance with regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary.
          (3) Special rule for certain contributions of 
        inventory and other property.--
                  (A) Qualified contributions.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph, a qualified contribution shall 
                mean a charitable contribution of property 
                described in paragraph (1) or (2) of section 
                1221(a), by a corporation (other than a 
                corporation which is an S corporation) to an 
                organization which is described in section 
                501(c)(3) and is exempt under section 501(a) 
                (other than a private foundation, as defined in 
                section 509(a), which is not an operating 
                foundation, as defined in section 4942(j)(3)), 
                but only if--
                          (i) the use of the property by the 
                        donee is related to the purpose or 
                        function constituting the basis for its 
                        exemption under section 501 and the 
                        property is to be used by the donee 
                        solely for the care of the ill, the 
                        needy, or infants;
                          (ii) the property is not transferred 
                        by the donee in exchange for money, 
                        other property, or services;
                          (iii) the taxpayer receives from the 
                        donee a written statement representing 
                        that its use and disposition of the 
                        property will be in accordance with the 
                        provisions of clauses (i) and (ii); and
                          (iv) in the case where the property 
                        is subject to regulation under the 
                        Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 
                        as amended, such property must fully 
                        satisfy the applicable requirements of 
                        such Act and regulations promulgated 
                        thereunder on the date of transfer and 
                        for one hundred and eighty days prior 
                        thereto.
                  (B) Amount of reduction.--The reduction under 
                paragraph (1)(A) for any qualified contribution 
                (as defined in subparagraph (A)) shall be no 
                greater than the sum of--
                          (i) one-half of the amount computed 
                        under paragraph (1)(A) (computed 
                        without regard to this paragraph), and
                          (ii) the amount (if any) by which the 
                        charitable contribution deduction under 
                        this section for any qualified 
                        contribution (computed by taking into 
                        account the amount determined in clause 
                        (i), but without regard to this clause) 
                        exceeds twice the basis of such 
                        property.
                  (C) Special rule for contributions of food 
                inventory.--
                          (i) General rule.--In the case of a 
                        charitable contribution of food from 
                        any trade or business of the taxpayer, 
                        this paragraph shall be applied--
                                  (I) without regard to whether 
                                the contribution is made by a C 
                                corporation, and
                                  (II) only to food that is

                        contributions for any taxable year 
                        which may be taken into account under 
                        this section shall not exceed 10 
                        percent of the taxpayer's aggregate net 
                        income for such taxable year from all 
                        trades or businesses from which such 
                        contributions were made for such year, 
                        computed without regard to this 
                        section.]
                          (ii) Limitation.--The aggregate 
                        amount of such contributions for any 
                        taxable year which may be taken into

                                taxpayer other than a C

                                contribution allowable under 
                                clause (ii)(II), subsection 
                                (b)(2)(A) shall not apply to 
                                such contribution, but the 
                                limitation imposed by such 
                                subsection shall be reduced

                                (b)(2)(A).
                          [(iii)] (iv) Apparently wholesome 
                        food.--For purposes of this 
                        subparagraph, the term ``apparently 
                        wholesome food'' has the meaning given

                          (v) Determination of basis for 
                        certain taxpayers.--If a taxpayer--
                                  (I) does not account for 
                                inventories under section 471, 
                                and

                        the taxpayer may elect, solely for 
                        purposes of subparagraph (B), to treat 
                        the basis of any apparently wholesome 
                        food as being equal to 25 percent of 
                        the fair market value of such food.
                          (vi) Determination of fair market 
                        value.--In the case of any such 
                        contribution of apparently wholesome 
                        food which cannot or will not be sold 
                        solely by reason of internal standards 
                        of the taxpayer, lack of market, or 
                        similar circumstances, or by reason of 
                        being produced by the taxpayer 
                        exclusively for the purposes of

                        organization described in subparagraph 
                        (A), the fair market value of such 
                        contribution shall be determined--
                                  (I) without regard to such 
                                internal standards, such lack 
                                of market, such circumstances, 
                                or such exclusive purpose, and
                                  (II) by taking into account 
                                the price at which the same or 
                                substantially the same food 
                                items (as to both type and 
                                quality) are sold by the 
                                taxpayer at the time of the 
                                contribution (or, if not so 
                                sold at such time, in the 
                                recent past).
                  (D) Special rule for contributions of book 
                inventory to public schools.--
                          (i) Contributions of book 
                        inventory.--In determining whether a 
                        qualified book contribution is a 
                        qualified contribution, subparagraph 
                        (A) shall be applied without regard to 
                        whether the donee is an organization 
                        described in the matter preceding 
                        clause (i) of subparagraph (A).
                          (ii) Qualified book contribution.--

        sections.
          (2) Contributions of property placed in trust.--
                  (A) Remainder interest.--In the case of 
                property transferred in trust, no deduction 
                shall be allowed under this section for the 
                value of a contribution of a remainder interest 
                unless the trust is a charitable remainder 
                annuity trust or a charitable remainder 
                unitrust (described in section 664), or a 
                pooled income fund (described in section 
                642(c)(5)).
                  (B) Income interests, etc..--No deduction 
                shall be allowed under this section for the 
                value of any interest in property (other than a 
                remainder interest) transferred in trust unless 
                the interest is in the form of a guaranteed 
                annuity or the trust instrument specifies that 
                the interest is a fixed percentage distributed 
                yearly of the fair market value of the trust 
                property (to be determined yearly) and the 
                grantor is treated as the owner of such 
                interest for purposes of applying section 671. 
                If the donor ceases to be treated as the owner 
                of such an interest for purposes of applying 
                section 671, at the time the donor ceases to be 
                so treated, the donor shall for purposes of 
                this chapter be considered as having received 
                an amount of income equal to the amount of any 
                deduction he received under this section for 
                the contribution reduced by the discounted 
                value of all amounts of income earned by the 
                trust and taxable to him before the time at 
                which he ceases to be treated as the owner of 
                the interest. Such amounts of income shall be 
                discounted to the date of the contribution. The 
                Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as 
                may be necessary to carry out the purposes of 
                this subparagraph.
                  (C) Denial of deduction in case of payments 
                by certain trusts.--In any case in which a 
                deduction is allowed under this section for the 
                value of an interest in property described in 
                subparagraph (B), transferred in trust, no 
                deduction shall be allowed under this section 
                to the grantor or any other person for the 
                amount of any contribution made by the trust 
                with respect to such interest.
                  (D) Exception.--This paragraph shall not 
                apply in a case in which the value of all 
                interests in property transferred in trust are 
                deductible under subsection (a).
          (3) Denial of deduction in case of certain 
        contributions of partial interests in property.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of a 
                contribution (not made by a transfer in trust) 
                of an interest in property which consists of 
                less than the taxpayer's entire interest in 
                such property, a deduction shall be allowed 
                under this section only to the extent that the 
                value of the interest contributed would be 
                allowable as a deduction under this section if 
                such interest had been transferred in trust. 
                For purposes of this subparagraph, a 
                contribution by a taxpayer of the right to use 
                property shall be treated as a contribution of 
                less than the taxpayer's entire interest in 
                such property.
                  (B) Exceptions.--Subparagraph (A) shall not 
                apply to--
                          (i) a contribution of a remainder 
                        interest in a personal residence or 
                        farm,
                          (ii) a contribution of an undivided 
                        portion of the taxpayer's entire 
                        interest in property, and
                          (iii) a qualified conservation 
                        contribution.
          (4) Valuation of remainder interest in real 
        property.--For purposes of this section, in determining 
        the value of a remainder interest in real property, 
        depreciation (computed on the straight line method) and 
        depletion of such property shall be taken into account, 
        and such value shall be discounted at a rate of 6 
        percent per annum, except that the Secretary may 
        prescribe a different rate.
          (5) Reduction for certain interest.--If, in 
        connection with any charitable contribution, a 
        liability is assumed by the recipient or by any other 
        person, or if a charitable contribution is of property 
        which is subject to a liability, then, to the extent 
        necessary to avoid the duplication of amounts, the 
        amount taken into account for purposes of this section 
        as the amount of the charitable contribution--
                  (A) shall be reduced for interest (i) which 
                has been paid (or is to be paid) by the 
                taxpayer, (ii) which is attributable to the 
                liability, and (iii) which is attributable to 
                any period after the making of the 
                contribution, and
                  (B) in the case of a bond, shall be further 
                reduced for interest (i) which has been paid 
                (or is to be paid) by the taxpayer on 
                indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase 
                or carry such bond, and (ii) which is 
                attributable to any period before the making of 
                the contribution.
        The reduction pursuant to subparagraph (B) shall not 
        exceed the interest (including interest equivalent) on 
        the bond which is attributable to any period before the 
        making of the contribution and which is not (under the 
        taxpayer's method of accounting) includible in the 
        gross income of the taxpayer for any taxable year. For 
        purposes of this paragraph, the term ``bond'' means any 
        bond, debenture, note, or certificate or other evidence 
        of indebtedness.
          (6) Deductions for out-of-pocket expenditures.--No 
        deduction shall be allowed under this section for an 
        out-of-pocket expenditure made by any person on behalf 
        of an organization described in subsection (c) (other 
        than an organization described in section 501(h)(5) 
        (relating to churches, etc.)) if the expenditure is 
        made for the purpose of influencing legislation (within 
        the meaning of section 501(c)(3)).
          (7) Reformations to comply with paragraph (2).--
                  (A) In general.--A deduction shall be allowed 
                under subsection (a) in respect of any 
                qualified reformation (within the meaning of 
                section 2055(e)(3)(B)).
                  (B) Rules similar to section 2055(e)(3) to 
                apply.--For purposes of this paragraph, rules 
                similar to the rules of section 2055(e)(3) 
                shall apply.
          (8) Substantiation requirement for certain 
        contributions.--
                  (A) General rule.--No deduction shall be 
                allowed under subsection (a) for any 
                contribution of $250 or more unless the 
                taxpayer substantiates the contribution by a 
                contemporaneous written acknowledgment of the 
                contribution by the donee organization that 
                meets the requirements of subparagraph (B).
                  (B) Content of acknowledgement.--An 
                acknowledgement meets the requirements of this 
                subparagraph if it includes the following 
                information:
                          (i) The amount of cash and a 
                        description (but not value) of any 
                        property other than cash contributed.
                          (ii) Whether the donee organization 
                        provided any goods or services in 
                        consideration, in whole or in part, for 
                        any property described in clause (i).
                          (iii) A description and good faith 
                        estimate of the value of any goods or 
                        services referred to in clause (ii) or, 
                        if such goods or services consist 
                        solely of intangible religious 
                        benefits, a statement to that effect.
                For purposes of this subparagraph, the term 
                ``intangible religious benefit'' means any 
                intangible religious benefit which is provided 
                by an organization organized exclusively for 
                religious purposes and which generally is not 
                sold in a commercial transaction outside the 
                donative context.
                  (C) Contemporaneous.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), an acknowledgment shall be 
                considered to be contemporaneous if the 
                taxpayer obtains the acknowledgment on or 
                before the earlier of--
                          (i) the date on which the taxpayer 
                        files a return for the taxable year in 
                        which the contribution was made, or
                          (ii) the due date (including 
                        extensions) for filing such return.
                  (D) Substantiation not required for 
                contributions reported by the donee 
                organization.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply 
                to a contribution if the donee organization 
                files a return, on such form and in accordance 
                with such regulations as the Secretary may 
                prescribe, which includes the information 
                described in subparagraph (B) with respect to 
                the contribution.
                  (E) Regulations.--The Secretary shall 
                prescribe such regulations as may be necessary 
                or appropriate to carry out the purposes of 
                this paragraph, including regulations that may 
                provide that some or all of the requirements of 
                this paragraph do not apply in appropriate 
                cases.
          (9) Denial of deduction where contribution for 
        lobbying activities.--No deduction shall be allowed 
        under this section for a contribution to an 
        organization which conducts activities to which section 
        162(e)(1) applies on matters of direct financial 
        interest to the donor's trade or business, if a 
        principal purpose of the contribution was to avoid 
        Federal income tax by securing a deduction for such 
        activities under this section which would be disallowed 
        by reason of section 162(e) if the donor had conducted 
        such activities directly. No deduction shall be allowed 
        under section 162(a) for any amount for which a 
        deduction is disallowed under the preceding sentence.
          (10) Split-dollar life insurance, annuity, and 
        endowment contracts.--
                  (A) In general.--Nothing in this section or 
                in section 545(b)(2), 642(c), 2055, 2106(a)(2), 
                or 2522 shall be construed to allow a 
                deduction, and no deduction shall be allowed, 
                for any transfer to or for the use of an 
                organization described in subsection (c) if in 
                connection with such transfer--
                          (i) the organization directly or 
                        indirectly pays, or has previously 
                        paid, any premium on any personal 
                        benefit contract with respect to the 
                        transferor, or
                          (ii) there is an understanding or 
                        expectation that any person will 
                        directly or indirectly pay any premium 
                        on any personal benefit contract with 
                        respect to the transferor.
                  (B) Personal benefit contract.--For purposes 
                of subparagraph (A), the term ``personal 
                benefit contract'' means, with respect to the 
                transferor, any life insurance, annuity, or 
                endowment contract if any direct or indirect 
                beneficiary under such contract is the 
                transferor, any member of the transferor's 
                family, or any other person (other than an 
                organization described in subsection (c)) 
                designated by the transferor.
                  (C) Application to charitable remainder 
                trusts.--In the case of a transfer to a trust 
                referred to in subparagraph (E), references in 
                subparagraphs (A) and (F) to an organization 
                described in subsection (c) shall be treated as 
                a reference to such trust.
                  (D) Exception for certain annuity 
                contracts.--If, in connection with a transfer 
                to or for the use of an organization described 
                in subsection (c), such organization incurs an 
                obligation to pay a charitable gift annuity (as 
                defined in section 501(m)) and such 
                organization purchases any annuity contract to 
                fund such obligation, persons receiving 
                payments under the charitable gift annuity 
                shall not be treated for purposes of 
                subparagraph (B) as indirect beneficiaries 
                under such contract if--
                          (i) such organization possesses all 
                        of the incidents of ownership under 
                        such contract,
                          (ii) such organization is entitled to 
                        all the payments under such contract, 
                        and
                          (iii) the timing and amount of 
                        payments under such contract are 
                        substantially the same as the timing 
                        and amount of payments to each such 
                        person under such obligation (as such 
                        obligation is in effect at the time of 
                        such transfer).

                charitable remainder trusts.--A person shall 
                not be treated for purposes of subparagraph (B) 
                as an indirect beneficiary under any life 
                insurance, annuity, or endowment contract held 
                by a charitable remainder annuity trust or a 
                charitable remainder unitrust (as defined in 
                section 664(d)) solely by reason of being 
                entitled to any payment referred to in 
                paragraph (1)(A) or (2)(A) of section 664(d) 
                if--
                          (i) such trust possesses all of the 
                        incidents of ownership under such

                          (ii) such trust is entitled to all

                        organization on any life insurance, 
                        annuity, or endowment contract if the 
                        payment of premiums on such contract is 
                        in connection with a transfer for which 
                        a deduction is not allowable under 
                        subparagraph (A), determined without 
                        regard to when such transfer is made.
                          (ii) Payments by other persons.--For 
                        purposes of clause (i), payments made

                        understanding or expectation referred 
                        to in subparagraph (A) shall be treated 
                        as made by the organization.

                                to which the premium relates, 
                                and

                        subchapter B of chapter 42.
                  (G) Special rule where state requires 
                specification of charitable gift annuitant in

                annuity be named as a beneficiary under an 
                annuity contract issued by an insurance company

                          (ii) each such beneficiary under the 
                        charitable gift annuity is a bona fide 
                        resident of such State at the time the 
                        obligation to pay a charitable gift 
                        annuity is entered into, and

                        deduction of more than $500 is claimed

                        mineral interests has been and remains 
                        separated, subparagraph (A) shall be 
                        treated as met if the probability of 
                        surface mining occurring on such 
                        property is so remote as to be

                the right to purchase tickets for seating at an 
                athletic event in an athletic stadium of such

        year period beginning on the date of the contribution 
        of such property.

        by or accrued to the donee after the expiration of the 
        legal life of such property.

                         VII. DISSENTING VIEWS

    The seven bills approved by the Republicans at the markup 
would add more than $93 billion to the deficit--and if history 
is our guide, this is merely the start of the approach the 
Republicans embraced last Congress. In the 113th Congress, Ways 
and Means Committee Republicans approved $825 billion worth of 
deficit-financed, permanent tax cuts. The bills marked up by 
the Committee set us down a partisan path, when we should be 
embracing bipartisanship and working in a responsible, 
bipartisan manner on tax reform.

    Even though some of these bills were introduced 
individually with some bipartisan support, the opposition to 
these bills is based on the position that these tax provisions 
should not be made permanent by adding to the deficit without 
any revenue offset. Our nation's food banks play a vital role 
in feeding some of America's most vulnerable people, this fact 
is undeniable. But the approach that the Committee Republicans 
are taking with respect to this and other important legislation 
undermines the bipartisan support that the provisions enjoy. 
Indeed, this provision was not included in the Republican tax 
reform plan introduced by the Ways and Means Committee Chairman 
last Congress. The American people expect a tax code that 
maintains and supports our shared priorities, and each time the 
Committee considers these bills in a piecemeal approach, it is 
taking a step in the wrong direction and away from 
comprehensive tax reform.

    We all support the good works of the charitable community 
and strive to provide charities with the resources they need to 
carry out their charitable mission. The markup was not to 
debate the good works of charities across this country, or the 
merits of H.R. 644, which would make permanent the deduction 
for charitable contributions of food inventory.

    Finally, we also oppose the manner in which Republicans 
were proceeding--selecting seven provisions to make permanent 
at a cost of nearly $100 billion without any offset from the 
approximately 60 tax provisions that expired at the end of last 
year. This approach is both fiscally irresponsible and contrary 
to the goals of bipartisan, comprehensive tax reform.
    Expired provisions must be dealt with in a comprehensive 
manner. The Republicans did not take up other tax extenders 
that also are important to Democratic Committee Members. Left 
to an uncertain fate are provisions like the Work Opportunity 
Tax Credit, the New Markets Tax Credit, and the renewable 
energy tax credits, as well as the long-term status of the 
Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit, and the 
American Opportunity Tax Credit.
