                      II. EXPLANATION OF THE BILL


                              PRESENT LAW

    On December 22, 2017, Public Law 115-97\1\ (referred to 
herein as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or the TCJA) was enacted 
into law. The TCJA made numerous changes to the income tax 
system, many of which expire for taxable years beginning after 
December 31, 2025. These temporary provisions include the 
following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\31 Stat. 2054.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          1. The TCJA modifies the tax rates and tax bracket 
        breakpoints in order to provide tax relief to 
        individuals and pass-through businesses.\2\ For taxable 
        years beginning after December 31, 2025, the tax rates 
        and brackets revert to their inflation-adjusted levels 
        based on the law as in existence in 2017.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\Sec. 11001 of the TCJA and sec. 1 of the Internal Revenue code 
of 1986, as amended (the ``Code'').
    \3\Because the TCJA modified the method used to index dollar 
amounts in the Code, switching the measurement of inflation from the 
Consumer Price Index (``CPI'') to the Chained Consumer Price Index 
(``C-CPI-U'') the C-CPI-U, and because this switch does not expire, the 
actual tax bracket breakpoints are projected to be lower in 2026 than 
they would have been had the TCJA not been enacted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          2. The TCJA modifies the tax on unearned income of a 
        minor child (known as the ``kiddie tax'') such that the 
        tax is generally imposed using the tax brackets 
        applicable to trusts and estates, rather than with 
        reference to the child's parents' tax situation.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \4\Sec. 11001 of the TCJA and sec. 1 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          3. The TCJA creates a deduction for qualified 
        business income, generally equaling up to 20-percent of 
        non-wage income for qualified individuals.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \5\Sec. 11011 of the TCJA and new sec. 199A of the Code. Note that 
the treatment of income relating to cooperatives under section 199A (as 
originally enacted on December 22, 2017) was modified by the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-141, enacted on 
March 23, 2018. For a description of the modification, see Joint 
Committee on Taxation, Technical Explanation of the Revenue Provisions 
of the House Amendment to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 1625 (Rules 
Committee Print 115-66), JCX-6-18, March 22, 2018, pp. 5-27.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          4. The TCJA limits the deduction for business losses 
        to $500,000 for joint filers and $250,000 for other 
        individuals.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \6\Sec. 11012 of the TCJA and sec. 461 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          5. The TCJA increases the standard deduction to 
        $24,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and 
        surviving spouses, $18,000 for heads of household, and 
        $12,000 for all other taxpayers.\7\ These amounts are 
        indexed for inflation. For taxable years beginning 
        after December 31, 2025, the standard deduction reverts 
        to its inflation-adjusted 2017 levels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \7\Sec. 11021 of the TCJA and sec. 63 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          6. The TCJA increases the child tax credit from 
        $1,000 to $2,000, and increases the phaseout thresholds 
        to $400,000 for married couples filing a joint return 
        ($200,000 for all other taxpayers).\8\ Additionally, 
        the TCJA provides for a $500 non-refundable credit for 
        non-child dependents. The refundable child tax credit 
        is modified by lowering the earned income threshold 
        from $3,000 to $2,500, and increasing the maximum value 
        of the refundable credit to $1,400 (indexed). Finally, 
        the TCJA modifies the identification requirements 
        applicable to a child on whose behalf the credit is 
        claimed, requiring that the child's taxpayer 
        identification number be a Social Security number 
        issued by the due date of the return in order to 
        qualify for the $2,000 credit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \8\Sec. 11022 of the TCJA and sec. 24 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          7. The TCJA increases the charitable contribution 
        percentage limit from 50 percent to 60 percent of the 
        contribution base (generally, adjusted gross income) 
        for contributions of cash to organizations described in 
        section 170(b)(1)(A) (generally, public charities and 
        certain private foundations that are not nonoperating 
        private foundations).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \9\Sec. 11023 of the TCJA and sec. 170(b)(1)(G) of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          8. The TCJA allows ABLE account owners to make 
        contributions of earned income, but not in excess of 
        the Federal poverty line, to their ABLE accounts, in 
        addition to the limitations imposed on other 
        contributions made to such accounts.\10\ Additionally 
        the TCJA allows individuals who make such contributions 
        to be eligible for the saver's credit. These 
        modifications do not apply for contributions made to 
        ABLE accounts after December 31, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \10\Sec. 11024 of the TCJA and sec. 529A of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          9. The TCJA allows amounts in qualified tuition 
        programs (known as 529 accounts) to be rolled over into 
        ABLE accounts, subject to the overall contribution 
        limits on ABLE accounts.\11\ This provision does not 
        apply to rollovers made after December 31, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \11\Sec. 11025 of the TCJA and secs. 529 and 529A of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          10. The TCJA grants combat zone tax benefits to those 
        members of the Armed Forces serving in the Sinai 
        Peninsula of Egypt.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \12\Sec. 11026 of the TCJA, affecting various Code sections.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          11. The TCJA reduces the threshold above which 
        unreimbursed medical expenses may be deducted from 10 
        percent to 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income 
        (``AGI'') for taxable years beginning after December 
        31, 2016 and ending before January 1, 2019.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \13\Sec. 11027 of the TCJA and sec. 213 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          12. The TCJA provides that certain student loans that 
        are discharged on account of the death or disability of 
        the borrower are excluded from gross income.\14\ This 
        exclusion does not apply for student loans discharged 
        after December 31, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \14\Sec. 11031 of the TCJA and sec. 108 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          13. The TCJA reduces the amount of the personal 
        exemption deduction to zero.\15\ For taxable years 
        beginning after December 31, 2025, the personal 
        exemption deduction reverts to its inflation-adjusted 
        2017 level.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \15\Sec. 11041 of the TCJA and sec. 151 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          14. The TCJA limits the itemized deduction for State 
        and local property taxes (other than paid or accrued in 
        carrying on a trade or business, or an activity 
        described in section 212) and State and local income, 
        war profits, and excess profits taxes (or sales taxes 
        in lieu of income taxes) to $10,000 for all taxpayers 
        other than married taxpayers filing separate returns, 
        for whom the limit is $5,000.\16\ The TCJA also repeals 
        the deduction for foreign real property taxes (other 
        than paid or accrued in carrying on a trade or 
        business, or an activity described in section 212).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \16\Sec. 11042 of the TCJA and sec. 164 of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          15. The TCJA reduces the $1 million limitation of 
        acquisition indebtedness with respect to which interest 
        is deductible to $750,000 ($375,000 in the case of 
        married taxpayers filing a separate return) in the case

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                           REASONS FOR CHANGE

    The Committee believes that the tax relief provided by the 
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has spurred economic growth and created 
jobs. The Committee believes it is appropriate to permanently 
extend the individual and pass-through business provisions that 
were temporary in the TCJA, in order to provide certainty to 
individuals, families, and small businesses and continue to 
drive economic growth and job creation.

                        EXPLANATION OF PROVISION

    For the above-described provisions that expire after 
December 31, 2025, the provision repeals the expiration date, 
thereby fully and permanently integrating the policy enacted by 
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into the tax code.
    The provision extends the reduction of the threshold above 
which unreimbursed medical expenses may be deducted, so that 
this reduction in the threshold from 10 percent to 7.5 percent 
of AGI applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 
2016 and ending before January 1, 2021.

Other modifications contained in the provision

    The provision makes other modifications to certain 
provisions relating to the TCJA.
            Modification to capital gains bracket breakpoints
    The provision modifies the breakpoints between the zero and 
15-percent rate on long-term capital gains and qualified 
dividends, conforming the breakpoints to the maximum ordinary 
income amounts taxed at rates below the 22-percent bracket 
breakpoint on ordinary income. This modification assures that 
taxpayers cannot have long-term capital gains income taxed at a 
higher rate of tax than ordinary income would be taxed. The 
capital gains breakpoints applicable to trusts and estates are 
not modified under this provision.
            Modification of return requirement
    The provision modifies the tax filing requirement so that a 
married taxpayer does not need to file an income tax return if 
the combined gross income of the taxpayer (individual and 
spouse) is less than the applicable standard deduction, even if 
the individual and spouse do not have the same household as 
their home at the close of the taxable year.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \27\Sec. 6012(a)(1)(A)(iv) of the Code.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Modification to section 15
    Section 15 provides a rule for the computation of tax in 
the event of a tax rate change (or a repeal of a tax) for a 
taxable year beginning on a date other than the first date of a 
taxpayer's taxable year. This provision does not apply to 
changes due to individual inflation adjustments or to changes 
in the individual tax rates made by the various tax Acts 
enacted in recent years. The provision modifies section 15 to 
apply only to changes in corporate tax rates.

Technical and clerical modifications contained in the provision

            Modification of rules related to rounding of income tax 
                    brackets
    The provision modifies the rounding rule applicable to the 
income tax brackets applicable to heads of household, so as to 
conform those rules to those that apply to the tax brackets 
applicable to unmarried individuals (other than heads of 
household or surviving spouses). Under the provision the income 
tax brackets for heads of household, unmarried individuals, and 
married individuals filing separately all round to the next 
lowest multiple of $25.
            ITIN requirement for non-child dependents
    The provision clarifies that a taxpayer identification 
number is necessary with respect to any non-child dependent for 
whom the $500 non-refundable credit is claimed. The taxpayer 
identification number may be either a Social Security number or 
an individual taxpayer identification number.
            Gross income requirement for non-child dependent
    The provision makes a technical change to provide that, as 
under 2017 law, an individual other than a child may qualify as 
a dependent of another taxpayer if such individual has gross 
income not in excess of $4,150. This amount is indexed for 
inflation.
            Increased limitation for certain charitable contributions
    The provision provides that the 60-percent limit for cash 
contributions is applied after (and reduced by) the amount of 
noncash contributions to organizations described in section 
170(b)(1)(A). For example, assume an individual with a 
contribution base of $100,000 for the taxable year makes a 
contribution of unappreciated property with a fair market value 
of $50,000 and a contribution of $10,000 cash to a qualified 
public charity. Under the provision, the cash contribution 
limit is determined after accounting for noncash contributions. 
Thus, in the above example, the $50,000 contribution of 
unappreciated property is accounted for first, using up the 
entire 50-percent contribution limit described in section 
170(b)(1)(A), but leaving $10,000 in allowable cash 
contributions under the 60-percent limit.
            Limitation on deduction for State and local, etc. taxes
    The provision makes a technical change to clarify that the 
$10,000 limitation on the itemized deduction for State and 
local property taxes (other than paid or accrued in carrying on 
a trade or business, or an activity described in section 212) 
and State and local income, war profits and excess profits 
taxes (or sales taxes in lieu of income taxes) applies with 
respect to all such State and local taxes otherwise deducible 
under chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code.

                             EFFECTIVE DATE

    The provision is generally effective for taxable years 
beginning after December 31, 2017.

                    III. BUDGET EFFECTS OF THE BILL


               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. 6760, as 
reported.
    The bill, as reported, is estimated to have the following 
effect on Federal fiscal year budget receipts for the period 
2019-2028:


    Clause 8 of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives requires that an estimate provided by the Joint 
Committee on Taxation to the Director of the Congressional 
Budget Office under section 201(f) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974 for any major legislation shall, to the extent 
practicable, incorporate the budgetary effects of changes in 
economic output, employment, capital stock, and other 
macroeconomic variables resulting from such legislation. Major 
legislation is defined as legislation having a gross budgetary 
effect (before incorporating macroeconomic effects) that is 
greater in any fiscal year than 0.25 percent of the current 
projected gross domestic product of the United States for that 
fiscal year. The bill meets this definition of major 
legislation.
    The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation is currently 
analyzing changes in economic output, employment, capital 
stock, and other macroeconomic variables resulting from the 
bill for purposes of determining these budgetary effects. 
However, it was not practicable to complete this analysis, 
which requires accounting for the effects of each provision in 
this bill, along with interactions between these provisions, by 
the filing of this report.

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 provisions involve no 
new tax expenditures.

      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, September 21, 2018.
Hon. Kevin Brady,
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. 6760, the 
Protecting Family and Small Business Tax Cuts Act of 2018. It 
contains estimates of tax provisions prepared by the staff of 
the Joint Committee on Taxation.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Cecilia 
Pastrone.
            Sincerely,
                                                Keith Hall,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

H.R. 6760--Protecting Family and Small Business Tax Cuts Act of 2018

    Summary: H.R. 6760, the Protecting Family and Small 
Business Tax Cuts Act of 2018, would repeal the December 31, 
2025 expiration date for numerous provisions of U.S. tax law 
that were temporarily changed by the 2017 tax act (Public Law 
115-97). The bill would make permanent the individual income 
tax brackets and tax rates, standard deduction and child tax 
credit amounts, business income deduction, and exemption 
amounts for the Alternative Minimum Tax in effect under current 
law. Deductions for personal exemptions and certain itemized 
deductions would be permanently repealed.
    The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) 
estimates that enacting the bill would reduce revenues by about 
$597 billion over the 2019-2028 period, and increase outlays by 
$34 billion over the same period, leading to an increase in the 
deficit of $631 billion over the next 10 years. A portion of 
the changes in revenues would be from Social Security payroll 
taxes, which are off-budget. Excluding the estimated $687 
million increase in off-budget revenues over the next 10 years, 
JCT estimates that H.R. 6760 would increase on-budget deficits 
by about $632 billion over the period from 2019 to 2028. Pay-
as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation 
would affect direct spending and revenues.
    JCT estimates that enacting H.R. 6760 would increase on-
budget deficits by more than $5 billion in at least one of the 
four 10-year periods beginning in 2029. CBO and JCT estimate 
that enacting the legislation would increase net direct 
spending by more than $2.5 billion in at least one of the four 
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.
    Because of the magnitude of the estimated budgetary 
effects, this bill is considered to be ``major legislation,'' 
as defined in section 5107 of H. Con. Res. 71, the Concurrent 
Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018. Hence, it 
triggers the requirement that the cost estimate, to the extent 
practicable, include the budgetary impact of its macroeconomic 
effects. The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation is 
currently analyzing changes in economic output, employment, 
capital stock, and other macroeconomic variables resulting from 
the bill for purposes of determining these budgetary effects. 
However, JCT indicates a macroeconomic analysis incorporating 
the full effects of all of the provisions in the bill, 
including interactions between these provisions, is not 
available at the time of filing of the committee report.
    JCT has determined that the tax provisions of the bill 
contain no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as 
defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
    Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated 
budgetary effect of H.R. 6760 is shown in the following table.
    Basis of estimate:

Revenues and direct spending

    The Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as amended, 
stipulates that revenue estimates provided by the staff of the 
Joint Committee on Taxation will be the official estimates for 
all tax legislation considered by the Congress. As such, CBO 
incorporates those estimates into its cost estimates of the 
effects of legislation. All of the estimates for the provisions 
of H.R. 6760 were provided by JCT.\1\ The date of enactment is 
generally assumed to be October 1, 2018.

    Individual Reform Made Permanent. H.R. 6760 would make 
permanent numerous changes to tax law pertaining to individuals 
made by the 2017 tax act. Such provisions estimated to reduce 
revenues over the 2019 to 2028 period include the following 
changes made by the 2017 tax act, which would no longer expire 
in 2026:
           Establish seven brackets with tax rates of 
        10 percent, 12 percent, 22 percent, 24 percent, 32 
        percent, 35 percent, and 37 percent;
           Increase the standard deduction;
           Establish a deduction for qualified business 
        income;
           Repeal the overall limit on itemized 
        deductions (``Pease limitation'');
           Increase the child tax credit, and add a 
        $500 credit for non-child dependents; and
           Double the exemption amount allowed under 
        estate and gift taxes.
    Provisions estimated to increase revenues over the 2019 to 
2028 period include the following changes made by the 2017 tax 
act, which would no longer expire in 2026:
           Repeal deductions for personal exemptions; 
        and
           Repeal and limit certain itemized 
        deductions, including limiting the deduction for state 
        and local taxes to $10,000.
    The largest revenue reductions would result from the 
provision to permanently extend the current income tax rate and 
bracket structure, which JCT estimates would reduce revenues by 
$520 billion over the period from 2019 to 2028 and increase 
outlays for refundable tax credits by $2 billion over the same 
period. In addition, extending the increase in the standard 
deduction would reduce revenues by $286 billion over the period 
from 2019 to 2028 and increase outlays for refundable tax 
credits by $21 billion over the same period, according to JCT's 
estimates. Making the increased exemptions to the alternative 
minimum tax on individuals permanent would reduce revenues by 
$283 billion from 2019 to 2028.
    JCT also estimates that permanently extending the deduction 
for qualified business income would reduce revenues by $179 
billion over the period from 2019 to 2028, and that extending 
the modified child tax credit would, over the same 10-year 
period, reduce revenues by $155 billion and increase outlays 
for refundable tax credits by $53 billion. JCT estimates that 
additional revenue reductions, totaling $28 billion from 2019 
to 2028, would result from making the 2017 tax act 
modifications to estate and gift taxes permanent.
    The largest revenue increases would result from permanently 
repealing deductions for personal exemptions, which JCT 
estimates would increase revenues by $463 billion and reduce 
outlays for refundable credits by $36 billion over the 2019 to 
2028 period. In addition, JCT estimates that the permanent 
repeal and limitation of certain itemized deductions would 
increase revenues by $317 billion and reduce outlays for 
refundable credits by $828 million from 2019 to 2028.
    Pay-As-You-Go considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement 
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending or 
revenues. The net changes in outlays and revenues that are 
subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in the 
following table. Only on-budget changes to outlays or revenues 
are subject to pay-as-you-go procedures.

    Increase in long term direct spending and deficits: JCT 
estimates that enacting H.R. 6760 would increase on-budget 
deficits by more than $5 billion in at least one of the four 
10-year periods beginning in 2029. CBO and JCT estimate that 
enacting the legislation would increase net direct spending by 
more than $2.5 billion in at least one of the four consecutive 
10-year periods beginning in 2029.
    Mandates: JCT has determined that H.R. 6760 contains no 
private-sector or intergovernmental mandates as defined by 
UMRA.

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


          A. Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the 
findings and recommendations of the Committee, based on 
oversight activities under clause 2(b)(1) of rule X of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, are incorporated into 
the description portions of this report.

        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 (``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 of 1986 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, for each such provision identified by 
the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, a summary 
description of the provision is provided below along with an 
estimate of the number and type of affected taxpayers, and a 
discussion regarding the relevant complexity and administrative 
issues.
    Following the analysis of the staff of the Joint Committee 
on Taxation are the comments of the IRS and Treasury regarding 
each provision included in the complexity analysis.

Make permanent modification of tax rates, tax brackets, standard 
        deduction and repeal of personal exemptions (secs. 101, 121, 
        and 141 of the bill)

            Summary description of the provisions
    The bill makes permanent the structure of the individual 
income tax as modified in Pub. L. No. 97-115. Under the 
permanent rate structure, the tax brackets are 10-percent, 12-
percent, 22-percent, 24-percent, 32-percent, 35-percent and 37-
percent. The bill makes permanent the increase in the size the 
standard deduction amount (for 2018 the standard deduction is 
$24,000 for joint filers, $18,000 for heads of household and 
$12,000 for other filers), and makes permanent the elimination 
of personal exemptions.
            Number of affected taxpayers
    It is estimated that the provision will affect 
approximately 129 million tax returns in 2026.
            Discussion
    It is not anticipated that individuals will need to keep 
additional records due to these provisions. It should not 
result in an increase in disputes with the IRS, nor will 
regulatory guidance be necessary to implement this provision.
    The provision will save the IRS from needing to re-adjust 
its wage withholding tables to reflect the expiration of these 
provisions for the taxable year 2026. Further, the IRS will no 
longer need to modify its forms and publications to reflect the 
expiration of these provisions for taxable year 2026.
    Taxpayers who, under the provisions of Pub. L. No. 115-97, 
were able to claim the standard deduction rather than 
itemizing, will now continue to be able to do so after taxable 
year 2025. According to estimates by the staff of the Joint 
Committee on Taxation, approximately 89 percent of taxpayers 
will claim the standard deduction in 2026 under the bill, up 
from approximately 70 percent in 2017. For these taxpayers, it 
will not be necessary to file Schedule A to Form 1040, allowing 
a significant number to forgo record keeping inherent in 
itemizing below-the-line deductions. Moreover, by claiming the 
standard deduction, such taxpayers may qualify to use simpler 
versions of the Form 1040 (i.e., Form 1040EZ or Form 1040A) 
that are not available to individuals who itemize their 
deductions. These forms simplify the return preparation process 
by eliminating from the Form 1040 those items that do not apply 
to particular taxpayers.
    This reduction in complexity and record keeping also may 
result in a decline in the number of individuals using a tax 
preparation service, or tax preparation software, or a decline 
in the cost of such service or software. The provision also 
should reduce the number of disputes between taxpayers and the 
IRS regarding the substantiation of itemized deductions.

Make permanent the deduction for qualified business income (sec. 111 of 
        the bill)

            Summary description of the provisions
    The bill makes permanent the provision enacted in Pub. L. 
No. 115-97 (Code section 199A), as subsequently modified by 
Pub. L. No. 115-141. Under the provision, an individual 
taxpayer generally may deduct 20 percent of qualified business 
income from a partnership, S corporation, or sole 
proprietorship, as well as 20 percent of aggregate qualified 
REIT dividends and qualified publicly traded partnership 
income. Special rules apply to specified agricultural or 
horticultural cooperatives and their patrons.
    A limitation based on the greater of 50 percent of W-2 
wages paid, or the sum of 25 percent of W-2 wages paid plus a 
capital allowance, is phased in above a threshold amount of 
taxable income. A disallowance of the deduction with respect to 
specified service trades or businesses is also phased in above 
the same threshold amount of taxable income. The threshold 
amount is $157,500 (twice that amount or $315,000 in the case 
of a joint return), indexed. These limitations are fully phased 
in for a taxpayer with taxable income in excess of the 
threshold amount plus $50,000 ($100,000 in the case of a joint 
return).
    Qualified business income for a taxable year generally 
means the net amount of domestic qualified items of income, 
gain, deduction, and loss with respect to the taxpayer's 
qualified businesses. Qualified business income does not 
include any amount paid by an S corporation that is treated as 
reasonable compensation of the taxpayer. Similarly, qualified 
business income does not include any guaranteed payment for 
services rendered with respect to the trade or business, and to 
the extent provided in regulations, does not include any amount 
allocated or distributed by a partnership to a partner who is 
acting other than in his or her capacity as a partner for 
services. Qualified business income or loss does not include 
certain investment-related income, gain, deductions, or loss.
            Number of affected taxpayers
    It is estimated that the provision will affect over ten 
percent of small business tax returns.
            Discussion
    In the absence of making the provision permanent, the 
period of time with respect to which taxpayers could have to 
keep additional records, or might engage in disputes with the 
IRS regarding application of the provision, would end. On the 
other hand, in the absence of making the provision permanent, 
the IRS would have to revise forms and promulgate revised 
guidance relating to the end of the period in which the 
provision applies. Making the provision permanent provides more 
time for a body of law, including regulations or other 
guidance, to clarify the application of the provision generally 
as well as in particular fact situations, potentially 
facilitating taxpayer compliance with, and IRS administration 
of, the provision as it remains in effect. Over time, 
increasing familiarity of the provision may result in a decline 
in the annual number of questions that taxpayers ask the IRS, 
such as how to calculate qualified business income and how to 
apply the phaseins of the W-2 wage (or W-2 wage and capital) 
limit and of the exclusion of service business income in the 
case of taxpayers with taxable income exceeding the threshold 
amount of $157,500 (twice that amount or $315,000 in the case 
of a joint return), indexed. The possible decline in the volume 
of questions could improve efficiency of the IRS and permit the 
use of greater IRS resources for taxpayer service and 
administration of other aspects of the tax law. Making the 
provision permanent principally affects taxable years beginning 
after 2025, so the provision will have been in effect for 
several years by the end of 2025, potentially permitting tax 
advisors and tax software makers to improve aids for taxpayers' 
compliance. Consequently, making the provision permanent should 
not increase the tax preparation costs for most individuals.

Increase in child tax credit made permanent (sec. 122 of the bill)

            Summary description of the provisions
    The bill makes permanent the provision of Pub. L. No. 115-
97 that increases the value of the child tax credit to $2,000, 
and providing for a refundable child tax credit of up to $1,400 
per child. This $1,400 limitation is indexed for inflation. In 
order to qualify for the child tax credit, a Social Security 
number must be provided for the qualifying child for whom such 
credit is claimed.
            Number of affected taxpayers
    It is estimated that the provision will affect 
approximately 53 million tax returns in 2026.
            Discussion
    It is not anticipated that individuals will need to keep 
additional records due to these provisions. It should not 
result in an increase in disputes with the IRS, nor will 
regulatory guidance be necessary to implement this provision.
    The IRS will no longer need to modify its forms and 
publications for taxable year 2026 to reflect the expiration of 
this provision.

Make permanent the limitation on deduction for State and local income 
        taxes (sec. 142 of the bill)

            Summary description of the provisions
    The bill makes permanent the provision contained in Pub. L. 
No. 115-97 which provides that, the case of an individual, as a 
general matter, State, local, and foreign property taxes and 
State and local sales taxes are allowed as a deduction only 
when paid or accrued in carrying on a trade or business, or an 
activity described in section 212 (relating to expenses for the 
production of income).
    The bill makes permanent the exception provided by Pub. L. 
No. 115-97 to the above-stated rule. Under the provision a 
taxpayer may claim an itemized deduction of up to $10,000 
($5,000 for married taxpayer filing a separate return) for the 
aggregate of (i) State and local property taxes not paid or 
accrued in carrying on a trade or business, or an activity 
described in section 212, and (ii) State and local income, war 
profits, and excess profits taxes (or sales taxes in lieu of 
income, etc. taxes) paid or accrued in the taxable year. 
Foreign real property taxes may not be deducted under this 
exception.
            Number of affected taxpayers
    It is estimated that the provision will affect 
approximately 19 million tax returns in 2026.
            Discussion
    It is not anticipated that individuals will need to keep 
additional records due to this provision.
    To the extent the IRS would have needed to modify its forms 
and publications to reflect the expiration of this provision 
for taxable years beginning after 2025, it will no longer need 
to do so.


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

House of Representatives, the Committee has carefully reviewed 
the provisions of the bill and states that the provisions of

                   G. Duplication of Federal Programs

    In compliance with Sec. 3(c)(5) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, 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 section 6104 of 
title 31, United States Code.

                 H. Disclosure of Directed Rule Makings

the following statement is made concerning directed rule 
makings: The Committee advises that the bill requires no 
directed rule makings within the meaning of such section.

                principal place of abode (as a member of such 
                household) of a dependent (i) who (within the 
                meaning of [section 152] section 7706, 
                determined without regard to subsections 
                (b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) thereof) is a

                taxable year under section 151] whose TIN is 
                included on the taxpayer's return of tax for 
                the taxable year.
        For purposes of this paragraph, an individual shall be 
        considered as maintaining a household only if over half

        purposes of section 1 a taxpayer shall not be 
        considered to be a surviving spouse--
                  (A) if the taxpayer has remarried at any time 
                before the close of the taxable year, or
                  (B) unless, for the taxpayer's taxable year 
                during which his spouse died, a joint return 
                could have been made under the provisions of 
                section 6013 (without regard to subsection

        of section 112) and if such individual remains in such 
        status until the date referred to in subparagraph (A) 
        or (B), then, for purposes of paragraph (1)(A), the 
        date on which such individual died shall be treated as 
        the earlier of the date determined under subparagraph 
        (A) or the date determined under subparagraph (B):
                  (A) the date on which the determination is 
                made under section 556 of title 37 of the 
                United States Code or under section 5566 of 
                title 5 of such Code (whichever is applicable)

                status, or
                  (B) except in the case of the combat zone 
                designated for purposes of the Vietnam 
                conflict, the date which is 2 years after the 
                date designated under section 112 as the date

                        taxpayer is entitled to a deduction for 
                        the taxable year for such person under 
                        section 151] if the taxpayer included 
                        such person's TIN on the return of tax 
                        for the taxable year, or
                  (B) maintains a household which constitutes

                the taxable year for such father or mother 
                under section 151] if such father or mother is

        purposes of this subtitle a taxpayer shall not be 
        considered to be a head of a household--

                is a nonresident alien; or
                  (B) by reason of an individual who would not

SEC. 15. EFFECT OF CHANGES  ON CORPORATIONS.

  (a) General rule.--[If any rate of tax] In the case of a 
corporation, if any rate of tax imposed by this chapter 
changes, and if the taxable year includes the effective date of 
the change (unless that date is the first day of the taxable 
year), then--
          (1) tentative taxes shall be computed by applying the 
        rate for the period before the effective date of the 
        change, and the rate for the period on and after such 
        date, to the taxable income for the entire taxable 
        year; and
          (2) the tax for such taxable year shall be the sum of 
        that proportion of each tentative tax which the number 
        of days in each period bears to the number of days in 
        the entire taxable year.
  (b) Repeal of tax.--For purposes of subsection (a)--
          (1) if a tax is repealed, the repeal shall be 
        considered a change of rate; and
          (2) the rate for the period after the repeal shall be 
        zero.
  (c) Effective date of change.--For purposes of subsections 
(a) and (b)--
          (1) if the rate changes for taxable years ``beginning 
        after'' or ``ending after'' a certain date, the 
        following day shall be considered the effective date of 
        the change; and
          (2) if a rate changes for taxable years ``beginning 
        on or after'' a certain date, that date shall be 
        considered the effective date of the change.
  [(d) Section not to apply to inflation adjustments.--This 
section shall not apply to any change in rates under subsection 
(f) of section 1 (relating to adjustments in tax tables so that 
inflation will not result in tax increases).
  [(e) References to highest rate.--If the change referred to 
in subsection (a) involves a change in the highest rate of tax 
imposed by section 1 or 11(b), any reference in this chapter to 
such highest rate (other than in a provision imposing a tax by 
reference to such rate) shall be treated as a reference to the 
weighted average of the highest rates before and after the 
change determined on the basis of the respective portions of 
the taxable year before the date of the change and on or after 
the date of the change.
  [(f) Rate reductions enacted by Economic Growth and Tax 
Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.--This section shall not 
apply to any change in rates under subsection (i) of section 1 
(relating to rate reductions after 2000).]

        employment-related expenses (as defined in subsection 
        (b)(2)) paid by such individual during the taxable 
        year.

If any amount as increased under the preceding sentence is not 
a multiple of $10, such amount shall be rounded to the nearest 
multiple of $10.
  (i) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such

        that follows ``resident of the United States''.]
  (a) Allowance of Credit.--There shall be allowed as a credit 
against the tax imposed by this chapter for the taxable year an 
amount equal to the sum of--

case). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term

                  (B) who has not attained age 17 at the close 
                of the calendar year in which the taxable year 
                of the taxpayer begins, and

                of section 205(c)(2)(B)(i) of the Social 
                Security Act, and

        taxpayer under subpart C shall be increased by the 
        lesser of--

                this section without regard to this subsection 
                and the limitation under section 26(a) or]
                  (A) the credit which would be allowed under 
                this section determined--
                          (i) by substituting ``$1,400'' for 
                        ``$2,000'' in subsection (a)(1),
                          (ii) without regard to subsection 
                        (a)(2), and
                          (iii) without regard to this 
                        subsection and the limitation under 
                        section 26(a), or
                  (B) the amount by which the aggregate amount 
                of credits allowed by this subpart (determined 
                without regard to this subsection) would 
                increase if the limitation imposed by section

                          (i) 15 percent of so much of the 
                        taxpayer's earned income (within the 
                        meaning of section 32) which is taken 
                        into account in computing taxable 
                        income for the taxable year as exceeds

                        or more qualifying children, the excess 
                        (if any) of--

                                  (II) the credit allowed under 
                                section 32 for the taxable 
                                year.
        The amount of the credit allowed under this subsection 
        shall not be treated as a credit allowed under this 
        subpart and shall reduce the amount of credit otherwise 
        allowable under subsection (a) without regard to 
        section 26(a). For purposes of subparagraph (B), any 
        amount excluded from gross income by reason of section

                        calendar year in which the taxable year 
                        begins,
                          (ii) 50 percent of the taxes imposed 
                        by section 1401 on the self-employment 
                        income of the taxpayer for the taxable 
                        year, and
                          (iii) 50 percent of the taxes imposed

                6413(c).
                  (C) Special rule.--Any amounts paid pursuant 
                to an agreement under section 3121(l) (relating 
                to agreements entered into by American 
                employers with respect to foreign affiliates) 
                which are equivalent to the taxes referred to 
                in subparagraph (A)(i) shall be treated as

          (3) Exception for taxpayers excluding foreign earned 
        income.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply to any taxpayer

                          (ii) the cost-of-living adjustment 
                        determined under section 1(f)(3) for 
                        the calendar year in which the taxable 
                        year begins, determined by substituting 
                        ``2017'' for ``2016'' in subparagraph 
                        (A)(ii) thereof.
                  (B) Rounding.--If any increase under 
                subparagraph (A) is not a multiple of $100,

        the due date for filing the return for the taxable 
        year.]
  (e) Taxpayer Identification Requirement.--No credit shall be 
allowed under this section if the identifying number of the 
taxpayer was issued after the due date for filing the return of 
tax for the taxable year.
  (f) Taxable year must be full taxable year.--Except in the 
case of a taxable year closed by reason of the death of the

                                        section 151 for the 
                                        taxable year with 
                                        respect to a dependent, 
                                        or
                                          (bb) who is not 
                                        described in item (aa) 
                                        but who purchases only 
                                        self-only coverage, and
                                  (II) family coverage in the 
                                case of any other applicable 
                                taxpayer.
                If a taxpayer files a joint return and no 
                credit is allowed under this section with 
                respect to 1 of the spouses by reason of 
                subsection (e), the taxpayer shall be treated 
                as described in clause (ii)(I) [unless a 
                deduction is allowed under section 151 for the 
                taxable year with respect to a dependent] 
                unless the taxpayer has a dependent for the 
                taxable year (and the taxpayer included such 
                dependent's TIN on the return of tax for the 
                taxable year) other than either spouse and 
                subsection (e) does not apply to the dependent.
                  (C) Adjusted monthly premium.--The adjusted 
                monthly premium for an applicable second lowest 
                cost silver plan is the monthly premium which 
                would have been charged (for the rating area 
                with respect to which the premiums under 
                paragraph (2)(A) were determined) for the plan 
                if each individual covered under a qualified 
                health plan taken into account under paragraph 
                (2)(A) were covered by such silver plan and the 
                premium was adjusted only for the age of each 
                such individual in the manner allowed under 
                section 2701 of the Public Health Service Act. 
                In the case of a State participating in the 
                wellness discount demonstration project under 
                section 2705(d) of the Public Health Service 
                Act, the adjusted monthly premium shall be 
                determined without regard to any premium 
                discount or rebate under such project.
                  (D) Additional benefits.--If--
                          (i) a qualified health plan under 
                        section 1302(b)(5) of the Patient 
                        Protection and Affordable Care Act 
                        offers benefits in addition to the 
                        essential health benefits required to 
                        be provided by the plan, or
                          (ii) a State requires a qualified 
                        health plan under section 1311(d)(3)(B) 
                        of such Act to cover benefits in 
                        addition to the essential health 
                        benefits required to be provided by the 
                        plan,
                the portion of the premium for the plan 
                properly allocable (under rules prescribed by 
                the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to 
                such additional benefits shall not be taken 
                into account in determining either the monthly 
                premium or the adjusted monthly premium under 
                paragraph (2).
                  (E) Special rule for pediatric dental 
                coverage.--For purposes of determining the 
                amount of any monthly premium, if an individual 
                enrolls in both a qualified health plan and a 
                plan described in section 1311(d)(2)(B)(ii) (I) 
                of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care 
                Act for any plan year, the portion of the 
                premium for the plan described in such section 
                that (under regulations prescribed by the 
                Secretary) is properly allocable to pediatric 
                dental benefits which are included in the 
                essential health benefits required to be 
                provided by a qualified health plan under 
                section 1302(b)(1)(J) of such Act shall be 
                treated as a premium payable for a qualified 
                health plan.
  (c) Definition and rules relating to applicable taxpayers,

this section--
          (1) Applicable taxpayer.--

                        which is not greater than 100 percent 
                        of an amount equal to the poverty line 
                        for a family of the size involved, and
                          (ii) the taxpayer is an alien 
                        lawfully present in the United States,

                under this section, be treated as an applicable 
                taxpayer with a household income which is equal 
                to 100 percent of the poverty line for a family 
                of the size involved.
                  (C) Married couples must file joint return.--

                of section 7703) at the close of the taxable 
                year, the taxpayer shall be treated as an 
                applicable taxpayer only if the taxpayer and 
                the taxpayer's spouse file a joint return for 
                the taxable year.
                  (D) Denial of credit to dependents.--No

                another taxpayer] who is a dependent of another 
                taxpayer for a taxable year beginning in the

                        such plan for such month is paid by the

                        the credit under subsection (a) under 
                        section 1412 of the Patient Protection

                        month'' shall not include any month 
                        with respect to an individual if for 
                        such month the individual is eligible 
                        for minimum essential coverage other 
                        than eligibility for coverage described 
                        in section 5000A(f)(1)(C) (relating to

                subparagraph (B)--
                          (i) Coverage must be affordable.--
                        Except as provided in clause (iii), an

                        eligible for minimum essential coverage 
                        if such coverage--
                                  (I) consists of an eligible 
                                employer-sponsored plan (as

                                5000A(f)(2)), and
                                  (II) the employee's required 
                                contribution (within the 
                                meaning of section 
                                5000A(e)(1)(B)) with respect to

                                the applicable taxpayer's 
                                household income.
                        This clause shall also apply to an 
                        individual who is eligible to enroll in 
                        the plan by reason of a relationship 
                        the individual bears to the employee.
                          (ii) Coverage must provide minimum 
                        value.--Except as provided in clause

                        as eligible for minimum essential 
                        coverage if such coverage consists of

                        covered under employer plan.--Clauses 
                        (i) and (ii) shall not apply if the

                        in the last sentence of clause (i)) is 
                        covered under the eligible employer-
                        sponsored plan or the grandfathered 
                        health plan.
                          (iv) Indexing.--In the case of plan 
                        years beginning in any calendar year

                        the 9.5 percent under clause (i)(II) in 
                        the same manner as the percentages are 
                        adjusted under subsection 
                        (b)(3)(A)(ii).

                such term by section 1301(a) of the Patient 
                Protection and Affordable Care Act, except that

                employee (or any spouse or dependent of such

                provided a qualified small employer health 
                reimbursement arrangement which constitutes 
                affordable coverage.

                any coverage month (determined without regard 
                to subparagraph (A)), the credit otherwise 
                allowable under subsection (a) to the taxpayer 
                for such month shall be reduced (but not below 
                zero) by the amount described in subparagraph

                          (ii) \1/12\ of 9.5 percent of the 
                        employee's household income.
                  (D) Qualified small employer health

                        with respect to such prior owner 
                        (determined without regard to any

building.--
          (1) In general.--Rehabilitation expenditures paid or

                                the adjusted basis of the 
                                building (determined as of the 
                                1st day of such period and 
                                without regard to paragraphs

                                such amount, when divided by 
                                the number of low-income units 
                                in the building, is $6,000 or 
                                more.
                  (B) Exception from 10 percent

                  (C) Date of determination.--The determination 
                under subparagraph (A) shall be made as of the

                (4) as placed in service during any calendar 
                year after 2009, the $6,000 amount in 
                subparagraph (A)(ii)(II) shall be increased by 
                an amount equal to--
                          (i) such dollar amount, multiplied by
                          (ii) the cost-of-living adjustment 
                        determined under section 1(f)(3) for 
                        such calendar year by substituting 
                        ``calendar year 2008'' for ``calendar 
                        year 2016'' in subparagraph (A)(ii) 
                        thereof.

        section with respect to expenditures which are treated 
        as a separate building by reason of this subsection--

                placed in service at the close of the 24-month 
                period referred to in paragraph (3)(A), and
                  (B) the applicable fraction under subsection 
                (c)(1) shall be the applicable fraction for the 
                building (without regard to paragraph (1)) with 
                respect to which the expenditures were 
                incurred.
        Nothing in subsection (d)(2) shall prevent a credit 
        from being allowed by reason of this subsection.
          (5) No double counting.--Rehabilitation expenditures 
        may, at the election of the taxpayer, be taken into 
        account under this subsection or subsection 
        (d)(2)(A)(i) but not under both such subsections.
          (6) Regulations to apply subsection with respect to 
        group of units in building.--The Secretary may 
        prescribe regulations, consistent with the purposes of

        separate new building.
  (f) Definition and special rules relating to credit period.--
          (1) Credit period defined.--For purposes of this 
        section, the term ``credit period'' means, with respect 
        to any building, the period of 10 taxable years 
        beginning with--
                  (A) the taxable year in which the building is 
                placed in service, or
                  (B) at the election of the taxpayer, the 
                succeeding taxable year,
        but only if the building is a qualified low-income 
        building as of the close of the 1st year of such 
        period. The election under subparagraph (B), once made, 
        shall be irrevocable.

                the 1st taxable year of the credit period shall

                applicable fraction under subsection (c)(1) the 
                fraction--
                          (i) the numerator of which is the sum 
                        of the applicable fractions determined 
                        under subsection (c)(1) as of the close 
                        of each full month of such year during 
                        which such building was in service, and
                          (ii) the denominator of which is 12.
                  (B) Disallowed 1st year credit allowed in 
                11th year.--Any reduction by reason of 
                subparagraph (A) in the credit allowable 
                (without regard to subparagraph (A)) for the 
                1st taxable year of the credit period shall be 
                allowable under subsection (a) for the 1st

                if--
                          (i) as of the close of any taxable 
                        year in the compliance period (after 
                        the 1st year of the credit period) the 
                        qualified basis of such building 
                        exceeds
                          (ii) the qualified basis of such 
                        building as of the close of the 1st 
                        year of the credit period,
                the applicable percentage which shall apply 
                under subsection (a) for the taxable year to 
                such excess shall be the percentage equal to 2/
                3 of the applicable percentage which (after the 
                application of subsection (h)) would but for 
                this paragraph apply to such basis.
                  (B) 1st year computation applies.--A rule 
                similar to the rule of paragraph (2)(A) shall 
                apply to any increase in qualified basis to 
                which subparagraph (A) applies for the 1st year 
                of such increase.
          (4) Dispositions of property.--If a building (or an 
        interest therein) is disposed of during any year for 
        which credit is allowable under subsection (a), such 
        credit shall be allocated between the parties on the 
        basis of the number of days during such year the 
        building (or interest) was held by each. In any such 
        case, proper adjustments shall be made in the 
        application of subsection (j).
          (5) Credit period for existing buildings not to begin 
        before rehabilitation credit allowed.--
                  (A) In general.--The credit period for an 
                existing building shall not begin before the

                                such building shall not begin 
                                before the taxable year which 
                                would be the 1st taxable year

                the gross rent with respect to such unit does 
                not exceed 30 percent of the imputed income 
                limitation applicable to such unit. For 
                purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount 
                of the income limitation under paragraph (1) 
                applicable for any period shall not be less 
                than such limitation applicable for the 
                earliest period the building (which contains 
                the unit) was included in the determination of 
                whether the project is a qualified low-income 
                housing project.
                  (B) Gross rent.--For purposes of subparagraph 
                (A), gross rent--
                          (i) does not include any payment 
                        under section 8 of the United States 
                        Housing Act of 1937 or any comparable 
                        rental assistance program (with respect 
                        to such unit or occupants thereof),
                          (ii) includes any utility allowance 
                        determined by the Secretary after 
                        taking into account such determinations 
                        under section 8 of the United States 
                        Housing Act of 1937,
                          (iii) does not include any fee for a 
                        supportive service which is paid to the 
                        owner of the unit (on the basis of the 
                        low-income status of the tenant of the 
                        unit) by any governmental program of 
                        assistance (or by an organization 
                        described in section 501(c)(3) and 
                        exempt from tax under section 501(a)) 
                        if such program (or organization) 
                        provides assistance for rent and the 
                        amount of assistance provided for rent 
                        is not separable from the amount of 
                        assistance provided for supportive 
                        services, and
                          (iv) does not include any rental 
                        payment to the owner of the unit to the 
                        extent such owner pays an equivalent 
                        amount to the Farmers' Home 
                        Administration under section 515 of the 
                        Housing Act of 1949.
                For purposes of clause (iii), the term 
                ``supportive service'' means any service 
                provided under a planned program of services 
                designed to enable residents of a residential 
                rental property to remain independent and avoid 
                placement in a hospital, nursing home, or 
                intermediate care facility for the mentally or 
                physically handicapped. In the case of a 
                single-room occupancy unit or a building 
                described in subsection (i)(3)(B)(iii), such 
                term includes any service provided to assist 
                tenants in locating and retaining permanent 
                housing.
                  (C) Imputed income limitation applicable to 
                unit.--For purposes of this paragraph, the 
                imputed income limitation applicable to a unit 
                is the income limitation which would apply 
                under paragraph (1) to individuals occupying 
                the unit if the number of individuals occupying 
                the unit were as follows:
                          (i) In the case of a unit which does 
                        not have a separate bedroom, 1 
                        individual.
                          (ii) In the case of a unit which has 
                        1 or more separate bedrooms, 1.5 
                        individuals for each separate bedroom.
                In the case of a project with respect to which 
                a credit is allowable by reason of this section 
                and for which financing is provided by a bond 
                described in section 142(a)(7), the imputed 
                income limitation shall apply in lieu of the 
                otherwise applicable income limitation for 
                purposes of applying section 142(d)(4)(B)(ii).
                  (D) Treatment of units occupied by 
                individuals whose incomes rise above limit.--
                          (i) In general.--Except as provided 
                        in clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv), 
                        notwithstanding an increase in the 
                        income of the occupants of a low-income 
                        unit above the income limitation 
                        applicable under paragraph (1), such 
                        unit shall continue to be treated as a 
                        low-income unit if the income of such 
                        occupants initially met such income 
                        limitation and such unit continues to 
                        be rent-restricted.
                          (ii) Rental of next available unit in 
                        case of 20-50 or 40-60 test.--In the 
                        case of a project with respect to which 
                        the taxpayer elects the requirements of 
                        subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph 
                        (1), if the income of the occupants of 
                        the unit increases above 140 percent of 
                        the income limitation applicable under 
                        paragraph (1), clause (i) shall cease 
                        to apply to such unit if any 
                        residential rental unit in the building 
                        (of a size comparable to, or smaller 
                        than, such unit) is occupied by a new 
                        resident whose income exceeds such 
                        income limitation.
                          (iii) Rental of next available unit 
                        in case of average income test
                          In the case of a project with respect 
                        to which the taxpayer elects the 
                        requirements of subparagraph (C) of 
                        paragraph (1), if the income of the 
                        occupants of the unit increases above 
                        140 percent of the greater of--
                                  (I) 60 percent of area median 
                                gross income, or
                                  (II) the imputed income 
                                limitation designated with 
                                respect to the unit under 
                                paragraph (1)(C)(ii)(I),
                        clause (i) shall cease to apply to any 
                        such unit if any residential rental 
                        unit in the building (of a size 
                        comparable to, or smaller than, such 
                        unit) is occupied by a new resident 
                        whose income exceeds the limitation 
                        described in clause (v).
                          (iv) Deep rent skewed projects.--In 
                        the case of a project described in 
                        section 142(d)(4)(B), clause (ii) or 
                        (iii), whichever is applicable, shall 
                        be applied by substituting ``170 
                        percent'' for ``140 percent'', and--
                                  (I) in the case of clause 
                                (ii), by substituting ``any 
                                low-income unit in the building 
                                is occupied by a new resident 
                                whose income exceeds 40 percent 
                                of area median gross income'' 
                                for ``any residential rental 
                                unit'' and all that follows in 
                                such clause, and
                                  (II) in the case of clause 
                                (iii), by substituting ``any

                                whose income exceeds the lesser 
                                of 40 percent of area median 
                                gross income or the imputed 
                                income limitation designated 
                                with respect to such unit under 
                                paragraph (1)(C)(ii)(I)'' for 
                                ``any residential rental unit'' 
                                and all that follows in such 
                                clause.
                          (v) Limitation described.--For 
                        purposes of clause (iii), the 
                        limitation described in this clause 
                        with respect to any unit is--
                                  (I) the imputed income 
                                limitation designated with 
                                respect to such unit under 
                                paragraph (1)(C)(ii)(I), in the 
                                case of a unit which was taken 
                                into account as a low-income 
                                unit prior to becoming vacant, 
                                and
                                  (II) the imputed income 
                                limitation which would have to 
                                be designated with respect to 
                                such unit under such paragraph 
                                in order for the project to 
                                continue to meet the 
                                requirements of paragraph 
                                (1)(C)(ii)(II), in the case of 
                                any other unit.
                  (E) Units where Federal rental assistance is 
                reduced as tenant's income increases.--If the 
                gross rent with respect to a residential unit 
                exceeds the limitation under subparagraph (A) 
                by reason of the fact that the income of the 
                occupants thereof exceeds the income limitation 
                applicable under paragraph (1), such unit 
                shall, nevertheless, be treated as a rent-
                restricted unit for purposes of paragraph (1) 
                if--
                          (i) a Federal rental assistance 
                        payment described in subparagraph 
                        (B)(i) is made with respect to such 
                        unit or its occupants, and
                          (ii) the sum of such payment and the 
                        gross rent with respect to such unit 
                        does not exceed the sum of the amount 
                        of such payment which would be made and 
                        the gross rent which would be payable 
                        with respect to such unit if--
                                  (I) the income of the 
                                occupants thereof did not 
                                exceed the income limitation 
                                applicable under paragraph (1), 
                                and
                                  (II) such units were rent-
                                restricted within the meaning 
                                of subparagraph (A).
                The preceding sentence shall apply to any unit 
                only if the result described in clause (ii) is 
                required by Federal statute as of the date of 
                the enactment of this subparagraph and as of 
                the date the Federal rental assistance payment 
                is made.
          (3) Date for meeting requirements.--
                  (A) In general.--Except as otherwise provided 
                in this paragraph, a building shall be treated 
                as a qualified low-income building only if the 
                project (of which such building is a part) 
                meets the requirements of paragraph (1) not 
                later than the close of the 1st year of the 
                credit period for such building.
                  (B) Buildings which rely on later buildings 
                for qualification.--
                          (i) In general.--In determining 
                        whether a building (hereinafter in this 
                        subparagraph referred to as the ``prior 
                        building'') is a qualified low-income 
                        building, the taxpayer may take into 
                        account 1 or more additional buildings 
                        placed in service during the 12-month 
                        period described in subparagraph (A) 
                        with respect to the prior building only 
                        if the taxpayer elects to apply clause 
                        (ii) with respect to each additional 
                        building taken into account.
                          (ii) Treatment of elected 
                        buildings.--In the case of a building 
                        which the taxpayer elects to take into 
                        account under clause (i), the period 
                        under subparagraph (A) for such 
                        building shall end at the close of the 
                        12-month period applicable to the prior 
                        building.
                          (iii) Date prior building is treated 
                        as placed in service.--For purposes of 
                        determining the credit period and the 
                        compliance period for the prior 
                        building, the prior building shall be 
                        treated for purposes of this section as 
                        placed in service on the most recent 
                        date any additional building elected by 
                        the taxpayer (with respect to such 
                        prior building) was placed in service.
                  (C) Special rule.--A building--
                          (i) other than the 1st building 
                        placed in service as part of a project, 
                        and
                          (ii) other than a building which is 
                        placed in service during the 12-month 
                        period described in subparagraph (A) 
                        with respect to a prior building which 
                        becomes a qualified low-income 
                        building,
                shall in no event be treated as a qualified 
                low-income building unless the project is a 
                qualified low-income housing project (without 
                regard to such building) on the date such 
                building is placed in service.
                  (D) Projects with more than 1 building must 
                be identified.--For purposes of this section, a 
                project shall be treated as consisting of only 
                1 building unless, before the close of the 1st 
                calendar year in the project period (as defined 
                in subsection (h)(1)(F)(ii)), each building 
                which is (or will be) part of such project is 
                identified in such form and manner as the 
                Secretary may provide.
          (4) Certain rules made applicable.--Paragraphs (2) 
        (other than subparagraph (A) thereof), (3), (4), (5), 
        (6), and (7) of section 142(d), and section 6652(j), 
        shall apply for purposes of determining whether any 
        project is a qualified low-income housing project and 
        whether any unit is a low-income unit; except that, in 
        applying such provisions for such purposes, the term 
        ``gross rent'' shall have the meaning given such term 
        by paragraph (2)(B) of this subsection.
          (5) Election to treat building after compliance 
        period as not part of a project.--For purposes of this 
        section, the taxpayer may elect to treat any building 
        as not part of a qualified low-income housing project 
        for any period beginning after the compliance period 
        for such building.
          (6) Special rule where de minimis equity 
        contribution.--Property shall not be treated as failing 
        to be residential rental property for purposes of this 
        section merely because the occupant of a residential 
        unit in the project pays (on a voluntary basis) to the 
        lessor a de minimis amount to be held toward the 
        purchase by such occupant of a residential unit in such 
        project if--
                  (A) all amounts so paid are refunded to the 
                occupant on the cessation of his occupancy of a 
                unit in the project, and
                  (B) the purchase of the unit is not permitted 
                until after the close of the compliance period 
                with respect to the building in which the unit 
                is located.
        Any amount paid to the lessor as described in the 
        preceding sentence shall be included in gross rent 
        under paragraph (2) for purposes of determining whether 
        the unit is rent- restricted.
          (7) Scattered site projects.--Buildings which would 
        (but for their lack of proximity) be treated as a 
        project for purposes of this section shall be so 
        treated if all of the dwelling units in each of the 
        buildings are rent-restricted (within the meaning of 
        paragraph (2)) residential rental units.
          (8) Waiver of certain de minimis errors and 
        recertifications.--On application by the taxpayer, the 
        Secretary may waive--
                  (A) any recapture under subsection (j) in the 
                case of any de minimis error in complying with 
                paragraph (1), or
                  (B) any annual recertification of tenant 
                income for purposes of this subsection, if the 
                entire building is occupied by low-income 
                tenants.
          (9) Clarification of general public use 
        requirement.--A project does not fail to meet the 
        general public use requirement solely because of 
        occupancy restrictions or preferences that favor 
        tenants--
                  (A) with special needs,
                  (B) who are members of a specified group 
                under a Federal program or State program or 
                policy that supports housing for such a 
                specified group, or
                  (C) who are involved in artistic or literary 
                activities.
  (h) Limitation on aggregate credit allowable with respect to 
projects located in a State.--
          (1) Credit may not exceed credit amount allocated to 
        building.--
                  (A) In general.--The amount of the credit 
                determined under this section for any taxable 
                year with respect to any building shall not 
                exceed the housing credit dollar amount 
                allocated to such building under this 
                subsection.
                  (B) Time for making allocation.--Except in 
                the case of an allocation which meets the 
                requirements of subparagraph (C), (D), (E), or 
                (F), an allocation shall be taken into account 
                under subparagraph (A) only if it is made not 
                later than the close of the calendar year in 
                which the building is placed in service.
                  (C) Exception where binding commitment.--An 
                allocation meets the requirements of this 
                subparagraph if there is a binding commitment 
                (not later than the close of the calendar year 
                in which the building is placed in service) by 
                the housing credit agency to allocate a 
                specified housing credit dollar amount to such 
                building beginning in a specified later taxable 
                year.
                  (D) Exception where increase in qualified 
                basis.--
                          (i) In general.--An allocation meets 
                        the requirements of this subparagraph 
                        if such allocation is made not later 
                        than the close of the calendar year in 
                        which ends the taxable year to which it 
                        will 1st apply but only to the extent 
                        the amount of such allocation does not 
                        exceed the limitation under clause 
                        (ii).
                          (ii) Limitation.--The limitation 
                        under this clause is the amount of 
                        credit allowable under this section 
                        (without regard to this subsection) for 
                        a taxable year with respect to an 
                        increase in the qualified basis of the 
                        building equal to the excess of--
                                  (I) the qualified basis of 
                                such building as of the close 
                                of the 1st taxable year to 
                                which such allocation will 
                                apply, over
                                  (II) the qualified basis of 
                                such building as of the close 
                                of the 1st taxable year to 
                                which the most recent prior 
                                housing credit allocation with 
                                respect to such building 
                                applied.
                          (iii) Housing credit dollar amount 
                        reduced by full allocation.--
                        Notwithstanding clause (i), the full 
                        amount of the allocation shall be taken 
                        into account under paragraph (2).
                  (E) Exception where 10 percent of cost 
                incurred.--
                          (i) In general.--An allocation meets 
                        the requirements of this subparagraph 
                        if such allocation is made with respect 
                        to a qualified building which is placed 
                        in service not later than the close of 
                        the second calendar year following the 
                        calendar year in which the allocation 
                        is made.
                          (ii) Qualified building.--For 
                        purposes of clause (i), the term 
                        ``qualified building'' means any 
                        building which is part of a project if 
                        the taxpayer's basis in such project 
                        (as of the date which is 1 year after 
                        the date that the allocation was made) 
                        is more than 10 percent of the 
                        taxpayer's reasonably expected basis in 
                        such project (as of the close of the 
                        second calendar year referred to in 
                        clause (i)). Such term does not include 
                        any existing building unless a credit 
                        is allowable under subsection (e) for 
                        rehabilitation expenditures paid or 
                        incurred by the taxpayer with respect 
                        to such building for a taxable year 
                        ending during the second calendar year 
                        referred to in clause (i) or the prior 
                        taxable year.
                  (F) Allocation of credit on a project 
                basis.--
                          (i) In general.--In the case of a 
                        project which includes (or will 
                        include) more than 1 building, an 
                        allocation meets the requirements of 
                        this subparagraph if--
                                  (I) the allocation is made to 
                                the project for a calendar year 
                                during the project period,
                                  (II) the allocation only 
                                applies to buildings placed in 
                                service during or after the 
                                calendar year for which the 
                                allocation is made, and
                                  (III) the portion of such 
                                allocation which is allocated 
                                to any building in such project 
                                is specified not later than the 
                                close of the calendar year in 
                                which the building is placed in 
                                service.
                          (ii) Project period.--For purposes of 
                        clause (i), the term ``project period'' 
                        means the period--
                                  (I) beginning with the 1st 
                                calendar year for which an 
                                allocation may be made for the 
                                1st building placed in service 
                                as part of such project, and
                                  (II) ending with the calendar 
                                year the last building is 
                                placed in service as part of 
                                such project.
          (2) Allocated credit amount to apply to all taxable 
        years ending during or after credit allocation year.--
        Any housing credit dollar amount allocated to any 
        building for any calendar year--
                  (A) shall apply to such building for all 
                taxable years in the compliance period ending 
                during or after such calendar year, and
                  (B) shall reduce the aggregate housing credit 
                dollar amount of the allocating agency only for 
                such calendar year.
          (3) Housing credit dollar amount for agencies.--
                  (A) In general.--The aggregate housing credit 
                dollar amount which a housing credit agency may 
                allocate for any calendar year is the portion 
                of the State housing credit ceiling allocated 
                under this paragraph for such calendar year to 
                such agency.
                  (B) State ceiling initially allocated to 
                State housing credit agencies.--Except as 
                provided in subparagraphs (D) and (E), the 
                State housing credit ceiling for each calendar 
                year shall be allocated to the housing credit 
                agency of such State. If there is more than 1 
                housing credit agency of a State, all such 
                agencies shall be treated as a single agency.
                  (C) State housing credit ceiling.--The State 
                housing credit ceiling applicable to any State 
                for any calendar year shall be an amount equal 
                to the sum of--
                          (i) the unused State housing credit 
                        ceiling (if any) of such State for the 
                        preceding calendar year,
                          (ii) the greater of--
                                  (I) $1.75 multiplied by the 
                                State population, or
                                  (II) $2,000,000,
                          (iii) the amount of State housing 
                        credit ceiling returned in the calendar 
                        year, plus
                          (iv) the amount (if any) allocated 
                        under subparagraph (D) to such State by 
                        the Secretary.
                For purposes of clause (i), the unused State 
                housing credit ceiling for any calendar year is 
                the excess (if any) of the sum of the amounts 
                described in clauses (ii) through (iv) over the 
                aggregate housing credit dollar amount 
                allocated for such year. For purposes of clause 
                (iii), the amount of State housing credit 
                ceiling returned in the calendar year equals 
                the housing credit dollar amount previously 
                allocated within the State to any project which 
                fails to meet the 10 percent test under 
                paragraph (1)(E)(ii) on a date after the close 
                of the calendar year in which the allocation 
                was made or which does not become a qualified 
                low-income housing project within the period 
                required by this section or the terms of the 
                allocation or to any project with respect to 
                which an allocation is cancelled by mutual 
                consent of the housing credit agency and the 
                allocation recipient.
                  (D) Unused housing credit carryovers 
                allocated among certain States.--
                          (i) In general.--The unused housing 
                        credit carryover of a State for any

                        may not exceed the amount necessary to 
                        support the applicable fraction 
                        specified in the extended low-income 
                        housing commitment for such building, 
                        including any increase in such fraction 
                        pursuant to the application of 
                        subsection (f)(3) if such increase is 
                        reflected in an amended low-income 
                        housing commitment.
                          (ii) Buildings financed by tax-exempt 
                        bonds.--If paragraph (4) applies to any 
                        building the amount of credit allowed 
                        in any taxable year may not exceed the 
                        amount necessary to support the 
                        applicable fraction specified in the 
                        extended low-income housing commitment 
                        for such building. Such commitment may 
                        be amended to increase such fraction.

                        compliance period on which such 
                        building is part of a qualified low-
                        income housing project, and
                          (ii) ending on the later of--

                                years after the close of the 
                                compliance period.

                                is acquired by foreclosure (or 
                                instrument in lieu of 
                                foreclosure) unless the 
                                Secretary determines that such 
                                acquisition is part of an 
                                arrangement with the taxpayer a 
                                purpose of which is to 
                                terminate such period, or
                                  (II) on the last day of the 
                                period specified in 
                                subparagraph (I) if the housing 
                                credit agency is unable to 
                                present during such period a 
                                qualified contract for the 
                                acquisition of the low-income 
                                portion of the building by any 
                                person who will continue to 
                                operate such portion as a 
                                qualified low-income building.
                        Subclause (II) shall not apply to the 
                        extent more stringent requirements are 
                        provided in the agreement or in State 
                        law.
                          (ii) Eviction, etc. of existing low-
                        income tenants not permitted.--The 
                        termination of an extended use period 
                        under clause (i) shall not be construed 
                        to permit before the close of the 3-
                        year period following such 
                        termination--
                                  (I) the eviction or the 
                                termination of tenancy (other 
                                than for good cause) of an 
                                existing tenant of any low-
                                income unit, or
                                  (II) any increase in the 
                                gross rent with respect to such 
                                unit not otherwise permitted 
                                under this section.
                  (F) Qualified contract.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (E), the term ``qualified 
                contract'' means a bona fide contract to 
                acquire (within a reasonable period after the 
                contract is entered into) the nonlow-income 
                portion of the building for fair market value 
                and the low-income portion of the building for 
                an amount not less than the applicable fraction 
                (specified in the extended low-income housing 
                commitment) of--
                          (i) the sum of--
                                  (I) the outstanding 
                                indebtedness secured by, or 
                                with respect to, the building,
                                  (II) the adjusted investor 
                                equity in the building, plus
                                  (III) other capital 
                                contributions not reflected in 
                                the amounts described in 
                                subclause (I) or (II), reduced 
                                by (ii) cash distributions from 
                                (or available for distribution 
                                from) the project.
                The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations 
                as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out 
                this paragraph, including regulations to 
                prevent the manipulation of the amount 
                determined under the preceding sentence.
                  (G) Adjusted investor equity.--
                          (i) In general.--For purposes of 
                        subparagraph (E), the term ``adjusted 
                        investor equity'' means, with respect 
                        to any calendar year, the aggregate 
                        amount of cash taxpayers invested with 
                        respect to the project increased by the 
                        amount equal to--
                                  (I) such amount, multiplied 
                                by
                                  (II) the cost-of-living 
                                adjustment for such calendar 
                                year, determined under section 
                                1(f)(3) by substituting the 
                                base calendar year for 
                                ``calendar year 2016'' in 
                                subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof.
                        An amount shall be taken into account 
                        as an investment in the project only to 
                        the extent there was an obligation to 
                        invest such amount as of the beginning 
                        of the credit period and to the extent 
                        such amount is reflected in the 
                        adjusted basis of the project.
                          (ii) Cost-of-living increases in 
                        excess of 5 percent not taken into 
                        account.--Under regulations prescribed 
                        by the Secretary, if the C-CPI-U for 
                        any calendar year (as defined in 
                        section 1(f)(6)) exceeds the C-CPI-U 
                        for the preceding calendar year by more 
                        than 5 percent, the C-CPI-U for the 
                        base calendar year shall be increased 
                        such that such excess shall never be 
                        taken into account under clause (i). In 
                        the case of a base calendar year before 
                        2017, the C-CPI-U for such year shall 
                        be determined by multiplying the CPI 
                        for such year by the amount determined 
                        under section 1(f)(3)(B).
                          (iii) Base calendar year.--For 
                        purposes of this subparagraph, the term 
                        ``base calendar year'' means the 
                        calendar year with or within which the 
                        1st taxable year of the credit period 
                        ends.
                  (H) Low-income portion.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, the low-income portion of a building 
                is the portion of such building equal to the 
                applicable fraction specified in the extended 
                low-income housing commitment for the building.
                  (I) Period for finding buyer.--The period 
                referred to in this subparagraph is the 1-year 
                period beginning on the date (after the 14th 
                year of the compliance period) the taxpayer 
                submits a written request to the housing credit 
                agency to find a person to acquire the 
                taxpayer's interest in the low-income portion 
                of the building.
                  (J) Effect of noncompliance.--If, during a 
                taxable year, there is a determination that an 
                extended low-income housing agreement was not 
                in effect as of the beginning of such year, 
                such determination shall not apply to any 
                period before such year and subparagraph (A) 
                shall be applied without regard to such 
                determination if the failure is corrected 
                within 1 year from the date of the 
                determination.
                  (K) Projects which consist of more than 1 
                building.--The application of this paragraph to 
                projects which consist of more than 1 building 
                shall be made under regulations prescribed by 
                the Secretary.
          (7) Special rules.--
                  (A) Building must be located within 
                jurisdiction of credit agency.--A housing 
                credit agency may allocate its aggregate 
                housing credit dollar amount only to buildings 
                located in the jurisdiction of the governmental 
                unit of which such agency is a part.
                  (B) Agency allocations in excess of limit.--
                If the aggregate housing credit dollar amounts 
                allocated by a housing credit agency for any 
                calendar year exceed the portion of the State 
                housing credit ceiling allocated to such agency 
                for such calendar year, the housing credit 
                dollar amounts so allocated shall be reduced 
                (to the extent of such excess) for buildings in 
                the reverse of the order in which the 
                allocations of such amounts were made.
                  (C) Credit reduced if allocated credit dollar 
                amount is less than credit which would be 
                allowable without regard to placed in service 
                convention, etc.
                          (i) In general.--The amount of the 
                        credit determined under this section 
                        with respect to any building shall not 
                        exceed the clause (ii) percentage of 
                        the amount of the credit which would 
                        (but for this subparagraph) be 
                        determined under this section with 
                        respect to such building.
                          (ii) Determination of percentage.--
                        For purposes of clause (i), the clause 
                        (ii) percentage with respect to any 
                        building is the percentage which--
                                  (I) the housing credit dollar 
                                amount allocated to such 
                                building bears to
                                  (II) the credit amount 
                                determined in accordance with 
                                clause (iii).
                          (iii) Determination of credit 
                        amount.--The credit amount determined 
                        in accordance with this clause is the 
                        amount of the credit which would (but 
                        for this subparagraph) be determined 
                        under this section with respect to the 
                        building if--
                                  (I) this section were applied 
                                without regard to paragraphs 
                                (2)(A) and (3)(B) of subsection 
                                (f), and
                                  (II) subsection (f)(3)(A) 
                                were applied without regard to 
                                ``the percentage equal to 2/3 
                                of''.
                  (D) Housing credit agency to specify 
                applicable percentage and maximum qualified 
                basis.--In allocating a housing credit dollar 
                amount to any building, the housing credit 
                agency shall specify the applicable percentage 
                and the maximum qualified basis which may be 
                taken into account under this section with 
                respect to such building. The applicable 
                percentage and maximum qualified basis so 
                specified shall not exceed the applicable 
                percentage and qualified basis determined under 
                this section without regard to this subsection.
          (8) Other definitions.--For purposes of this 
        subsection--
                  (A) Housing credit agency.--The term

                State for 2009 shall each be reduced by so much 
                of such amount as is taken into account in 
                determining the amount of any grant to such 
                State under section 1602 of the American 
                Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009.
                  (B) Special rule for basis.--Basis of a 
                qualified low-income building shall not be 
                reduced by the amount of any grant described in 
                subparagraph (A).

                  (B) the amount of such basis as of the close 
                of the preceding taxable year,
        then the taxpayer's tax under this chapter for the 
        taxable year shall be increased by the credit recapture 
        amount.
          (2) Credit recapture amount.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (1), the credit recapture amount is an amount 
        equal to the sum of--
                  (A) the aggregate decrease in the credits 
                allowed to the taxpayer under section 38 for 
                all prior taxable years which would have 
                resulted if the accelerated portion of the 
                credit allowable by reason of this section were 
                not allowed for all prior taxable years with 
                respect to the excess of the amount described 
                in paragraph (1)(B) over the amount described 
                in paragraph (1)(A), plus
                  (B) interest at the overpayment rate 
                established under section 6621 on the amount 
                determined under subparagraph (A) for each 
                prior taxable year for the period beginning on 
                the due date for filing the return for the 
                prior taxable year involved.
        No deduction shall be allowed under this chapter for 
        interest described in subparagraph (B).
          (3) Accelerated portion of credit.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (2), the accelerated portion of the credit 
        for the prior taxable years with respect to any amount 
        of basis is the excess of--
                  (A) the aggregate credit allowed by reason of 
                this section (without regard to this 
                subsection) for such years with respect to such 
                basis, over
                  (B) the aggregate credit which would be 
                allowable by reason of this section for such 
                years with respect to such basis if the 
                aggregate credit which would (but for this 
                subsection) have been allowable for the entire 
                compliance period were allowable ratably over 
                15 years.
          (4) Special rules.--
                  (A) Tax benefit rule.--The tax for the 
                taxable year shall be increased under paragraph 
                (1) only with respect to credits allowed by 
                reason of this section which were used to 
                reduce tax liability. In the case of credits 
                not so used to reduce tax liability, the 
                carryforwards and carrybacks under section 39 
                shall be appropriately adjusted.
                  (B) Only basis for which credit allowed taken 
                into account.--Qualified basis shall be taken 
                into account under paragraph (1)(B) only to the 
                extent such basis was taken into account in 
                determining the credit under subsection (a) for 
                the preceding taxable year referred to in such 
                paragraph.
                  (C) No recapture of additional credit 
                allowable by reason of subsection (f)(3).--
                Paragraph (1) shall apply to a decrease in 
                qualified basis only to the extent such 
                decrease exceeds the amount of qualified basis 
                with respect to which a credit was allowable 
                for the taxable year referred to in paragraph 
                (1)(B) by reason of subsection (f)(3).
                  (D) No credits against tax.--Any increase in 
                tax under this subsection shall not be treated 
                as a tax imposed by this chapter for purposes 
                of determining the amount of any credit under 
                this chapter.
                  (E) No recapture by reason of casualty 
                loss.--The increase in tax under this 
                subsection shall not apply to a reduction in 
                qualified basis by reason of a casualty loss to 
                the extent such loss is restored by 
                reconstruction or replacement within a 
                reasonable period established by the Secretary.
                  (F) No recapture where de minimis changes in 
                floor space.--The Secretary may provide that 
                the increase in tax under this subsection shall 
                not apply with respect to any building if--
                          (i) such increase results from a de 
                        minimis change in the floor space 
                        fraction under subsection (c)(1), and
                          (ii) the building is a qualified low-
                        income building after such change.
          (5) Certain partnerships treated as the taxpayer.--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of applying 
                this subsection to a partnership to which this 
                paragraph applies--
                          (i) such partnership shall be treated 
                        as the taxpayer to which the credit 
                        allowable under subsection (a) was 
                        allowed,
                          (ii) the amount of such credit 
                        allowed shall be treated as the amount 
                        which would have been allowed to the 
                        partnership were such credit allowable 
                        to such partnership,
                          (iii) paragraph (4)(A) shall not 
                        apply, and
                          (iv) the amount of the increase in 
                        tax under this subsection for any 
                        taxable year shall be allocated among 
                        the partners of such partnership in the 
                        same manner as such partnership's 
                        taxable income for such year is 
                        allocated among such partners.
                  (B) Partnerships to which paragraph 
                applies.--This paragraph shall apply to any 
                partnership which has 35 or more partners 
                unless the partnership elects not to have this 
                paragraph apply.
                  (C) Special rules.--
                          (i) Husband and wife treated as 1 
                        partner.--For purposes of subparagraph 
                        (B)(i), a husband and wife (and their 
                        estates) shall be treated as 1 partner.
                          (ii) Election irrevocable.--Any 
                        election under subparagraph (B), once 
                        made, shall be irrevocable.
          (6) No recapture on disposition of building which 
        continues in qualified use.--
                  (A) In general.--The increase in tax under 
                this subsection shall not apply solely by 
                reason of the disposition of a building (or an 
                interest therein) if it is reasonably expected 
                that such building will continue to be operated 
                as a qualified low-income building for the 
                remaining compliance period with respect to 
                such building.
                  (B) Statute of limitations.--If a building 
                (or an interest therein) is disposed of during 
                any taxable year and there is any reduction in 
                the qualified basis of such building which 
                results in an increase in tax under this 
                subsection for such taxable or any subsequent 
                taxable year, then--
                          (i) the statutory period for the 
                        assessment of any deficiency with 
                        respect to such increase in tax shall 
                        not expire before the expiration of 3 
                        years from the date the Secretary is 
                        notified by the taxpayer (in such 
                        manner as the Secretary may prescribe) 
                        of such reduction in qualified basis, 
                        and
                          (ii) such deficiency may be assessed 
                        before the expiration of such 3-year 
                        period notwithstanding the provisions 
                        of any other law or rule of law which 
                        would otherwise prevent such 
                        assessment.
  (k) Application of at-risk rules.--For purposes of this 
section--
          (1) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
        subsection, rules similar to the rules of section 
        49(a)(1) (other than subparagraphs (D)(ii)(II) and 
        (D)(iv)(I) thereof), section 49(a)(2), and section 
        49(b)(1) shall apply in determining the qualified basis 
        of any building in the same manner as such sections 
        apply in determining the credit base of property.
          (2) Special rules for determining qualified person.--
        For purposes of paragraph (1)--
                  (A) In general.--If the requirements of 
                subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D) are met with 
                respect to any financing borrowed from a 
                qualified nonprofit organization (as defined in 
                subsection (h)(5)), the determination of 
                whether such financing is qualified commercial 
                financing with respect to any qualified low-
                income building shall be made without regard to 
                whether such organization--
                          (i) is actively and regularly engaged 
                        in the business of lending money, or
                          (ii) is a person described in section 
                        49(a)(1)(D)(iv)(II).
                  (B) Financing secured by property.--The 
                requirements of this subparagraph are met with 
                respect to any financing if such financing is 
                secured by the qualified low-income building, 
                except that this subparagraph shall not apply 
                in the case of a federally assisted building 
                described in subsection (d)(6)(C) if--
                          (i) a security interest in such 
                        building is not permitted by a Federal 
                        agency holding or insuring the mortgage 
                        secured by such building, and
                          (ii) the proceeds from the financing 
                        (if any) are applied to acquire or 
                        improve such building.
                  (C) Portion of building attributable to 
                financing.--The requirements of this 
                subparagraph are met with respect to any 
                financing for any taxable year in the 
                compliance period if, as of the close of such 
                taxable year, not more than 60 percent of the 
                eligible basis of the qualified low-income 
                building is attributable to such financing 
                (reduced by the principal and interest of any 
                governmental financing which is part of a wrap-
                around mortgage involving such financing).
                  (D) Repayment of principal and interest.--The 
                requirements of this subparagraph are met with 
                respect to any financing if such financing is 
                fully repaid on or before the earliest of--
                          (i) the date on which such financing 
                        matures,
                          (ii) the 90th day after the close of 
                        the compliance period with respect to 
                        the qualified low-income building, or
                          (iii) the date of its refinancing or 
                        the sale of the building to which such 
                        financing relates.
                In the case of a qualified nonprofit 
                organization which is not described in section 
                49(a)(1)(D)(iv)(II) with respect to a building, 
                clause (ii) of this subparagraph shall be 
                applied as if the date described therein were 
                the 90th day after the earlier of the date the 
                building ceases to be a qualified low-income 
                building or the date which is 15 years after 
                the close of a compliance period with respect 
                thereto.
          (3) Present value of financing.--If the rate of 
        interest on any financing described in paragraph (2)(A) 
        is less than the rate which is 1 percentage point below 
        the applicable Federal rate as of the time such 
        financing is incurred, then the qualified basis (to 
        which such financing relates) of the qualified low-
        income building shall be the present value of the 
        amount of such financing, using as the discount rate 
        such applicable Federal rate. For purposes of the 
        preceding sentence, the rate of interest on any 
        financing shall be determined by treating interest to 
        the extent of government subsidies as not payable.
          (4) Failure to fully repay.--
                  (A) In general.--To the extent that the 
                requirements of paragraph (2)(D) are not met, 
                then the taxpayer's tax under this chapter for 
                the taxable year in which such failure occurs 
                shall be increased by an amount equal to the 
                applicable portion of the credit under this 
                section with respect to such building, 
                increased by an amount of interest for the 
                period--
                          (i) beginning with the due date for 
                        the filing of the return of tax imposed 
                        by chapter 1 for the 1st taxable year 
                        for which such credit was allowable, 
                        and
                          (ii) ending with the due date for the 
                        taxable year in which such failure 
                        occurs,
                determined by using the underpayment rate and 
                method under section 6621.
                  (B) Applicable portion.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``applicable 
                portion'' means the aggregate decrease in the 
                credits allowed to a taxpayer under section 38 
                for all prior taxable years which would have 
                resulted if the eligible basis of the building 
                were reduced by the amount of financing which 
                does not meet requirements of paragraph (2)(D).
                  (C) Certain rules to apply.--Rules similar to 
                the rules of subparagraphs (A) and (D) of 
                subsection (j)(4) shall apply for purposes of 
                this subsection.
  (l) Certifications and other reports to Secretary.--
          (1) Certification with respect to 1st year of credit 
        period.--Following the close of the 1st taxable year in 
        the credit period with respect to any qualified low-
        income building, the taxpayer shall certify to the 
        Secretary (at such time and in such form and in such 
        manner as the Secretary prescribes)--
                  (A) the taxable year, and calendar year, in 
                which such building was placed in service,
                  (B) the adjusted basis and eligible basis of 
                such building as of the close of the 1st year 
                of the credit period,
                  (C) the maximum applicable percentage and 
                qualified basis permitted to be taken into 
                account by the appropriate housing credit 
                agency under subsection (h),
                  (D) the election made under subsection (g) 
                with respect to the qualified low-income 
                housing project of which such building is a 
                part, and
                  (E) such other information as the Secretary 
                may require.
        In the case of a failure to make the certification 
        required by the preceding sentence on the date 
        prescribed therefor, unless it is shown that such 
        failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful 
        neglect, no credit shall be allowable by reason of 
        subsection (a) with respect to such building for any 
        taxable year ending before such certification is made.
          (2) Annual reports to the Secretary.--The Secretary 
        may require taxpayers to submit an information return 
        (at such time and in such form and manner as the 
        Secretary prescribes) for each taxable year setting 
        forth--
                  (A) the qualified basis for the taxable year 
                of each qualified low-income building of the 
                taxpayer,
                  (B) the information described in paragraph 
                (1)(C) for the taxable year, and
                  (C) such other information as the Secretary 
                may require.
        The penalty under section 6652(j) shall apply to any 
        failure to submit the return required by the Secretary 
        under the preceding sentence on the date prescribed 
        therefor.
          (3) Annual reports from housing credit agencies.--
        Each agency which allocates any housing credit amount 
        to any building for any calendar year shall submit to 
        the Secretary (at such time and in such manner as the 
        Secretary shall prescribe) an annual report 
        specifying--
                  (A) the amount of housing credit amount 
                allocated to each building for such year,
                  (B) sufficient information to identify each 
                such building and the taxpayer with respect 
                thereto, and
                  (C) such other information as the Secretary 
                may require.
        The penalty under section 6652(j) shall apply to any 
        failure to submit the report required by the preceding 
        sentence on the date prescribed therefor.
  (m) Responsibilities of housing credit agencies.--
          (1) Plans for allocation of credit among projects.--
                  (A) In general.--Notwithstanding any other 
                provision of this section, the housing credit 
                dollar amount with respect to any building 
                shall be zero unless--
                          (i) such amount was allocated 
                        pursuant to a qualified allocation plan 
                        of the housing credit agency which is

                dollar amount under the qualified allocation 
                plan applicable to the area in which the

  (a) General rule.--For purposes of section 38, in the case of 
an eligible small employer, the small employer health insurance 
credit determined under this section for any taxable year in 
the credit period is the amount determined under subsection 
(b).
  (b) Health insurance credit amount.--Subject to subsection 
(c), the amount determined under this subsection with respect 
to any eligible small employer is equal to 50 percent (35 
percent in the case of a tax-exempt eligible small employer) of 
the lesser of--
          (1) the aggregate amount of nonelective contributions 
        the employer made on behalf of its employees during the 
        taxable year under the arrangement described in 
        subsection (d)(4) for premiums for qualified health 
        plans offered by the employer to its employees through 
        an Exchange, or
          (2) the aggregate amount of nonelective contributions 
        which the employer would have made during the taxable 
        year under the arrangement if each employee taken into 
        account under paragraph (1) had enrolled in a qualified 
        health plan which had a premium equal to the average 
        premium (as determined by the Secretary of Health and 
        Human Services) for the small group market in the 
        rating area in which the employee enrolls for coverage.
  (c) Phaseout of credit amount based on number of employees 
and average wages.--The amount of the credit determined under 
subsection (b) without regard to this subsection shall be 
reduced (but not below zero) by the sum of the following 
amounts:
          (1) Such amount multiplied by a fraction the 
        numerator of which is the total number of full-time 
        equivalent employees of the employer in excess of 10 
        and the denominator of which is 15.
          (2) Such amount multiplied by a fraction the 
        numerator of which is the average annual wages of the 
        employer in excess of the dollar amount in effect under 
        subsection (d)(3)(B) and the denominator of which is 
        such dollar amount.
  (d) Eligible small employer.--For purposes of this section--
          (1) In general.--The term ``eligible small employer'' 
        means, with respect to any taxable year, an employer--

                equivalent employees for the taxable year,
                  (B) the average annual wages of which do not 
                exceed an amount equal to twice the dollar 
                amount in effect under paragraph (3)(B) for the 
                taxable year, and
                  (C) which has in effect an arrangement 
                described in paragraph (4).
          (2) Full-time equivalent employees.--
                  (A) In general.--The term ``full-time 
                equivalent employees'' means a number of 
                employees equal to the number determined by 
                dividing--
                          (i) the total number of hours of 
                        service for which wages were paid by 
                        the employer to employees during the 
                        taxable year, by
                          (ii) 2,080.
                Such number shall be rounded to the next lowest 
                whole number if not otherwise a whole number.
                  (B) Excess hours not counted.--If an employee 
                works in excess of 2,080 hours of service 
                during any taxable year, such excess shall not 
                be taken into account under subparagraph (A).
                  (C) Hours of service.--The Secretary, in 
                consultation with the Secretary of Labor, shall

                        which were paid by the employer to 
                        employees during the taxable year, by
                          (ii) the number of full-time 
                        equivalent employees of the employee 
                        determined under paragraph (2) for the 
                        taxable year.
                Such amount shall be rounded to the next lowest 
                multiple of $1,000 if not otherwise such a 
                multiple.
                  (B) Dollar amount.--For purposes of paragraph 
                (1)(B) and subsection (c)(2)--

                        calendar year after 2013, the dollar 
                        amount in effect under this paragraph 
                        shall be equal to $25,000, multiplied 
                        by the cost-of-living adjustment under 
                        section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year, 
                        determined by substituting ``calendar 
                        year 2012'' for ``calendar year 2016'' 
                        in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof.
          (4) Contribution arrangement.--An arrangement is

        through an exchange in an amount equal to a uniform 
        percentage (not less than 50 percent) of the premium 
        cost of the qualified health plan.

                taken into account in determining the full-time 
                equivalent employees and average annual wages 
                of the employer unless the worker works for the 
                employer on more than 120 days during the 
                taxable year.

                The amount determined under the preceding

        liability.
          (3) Cross references.--For provisions providing that 
        certain credits are not allowable against the tax

                          (i) a joint return, or

                          (ii) is not a surviving spouse,

                trust.
        For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``surviving

        amount of any taxpayer shall be reduced (but not below 
        zero) by an amount equal to 25 percent of the amount by 
        which the alternative minimum taxable income of the 
        taxpayer exceeds--
                  (A) [$150,000] $1,000,000 in the case of a

        amount of such income (as so determined) for which the 
        exemption amount under paragraph (1)(C) is zero, or

                        placed in service after December 31, 
                        1986, shall be determined under the 
                        alternative system of section 168(g). 
                        In the case of property placed in 
                        service after December 31, 1998, the 
                        preceding sentence shall not apply but 
                        clause (ii) shall continue to apply.
                          (ii) 150-percent declining balance 
                        method for certain property.--The 
                        method of depreciation used shall be--
                                  (I) the 150 percent declining 
                                balance method,
                                  (II) switching to the 
                                straight line method for the 
                                1st taxable year for which 
                                using the straight line method 
                                with respect to the adjusted 
                                basis as of the beginning of 
                                the year will yield a higher 
                                allowance.
                        The preceding sentence shall not apply 
                        to any section 1250 property (as 
                        defined in section 1250(c)) (and the 
                        straight line method shall be used for 
                        such section 1250 property)or to any 
                        other property if the depreciation 
                        deduction determined under section 168 
                        with respect to such other property for 
                        purposes of the regular tax is 
                        determined by using the straight line

                  (B) Exception for certain property.--This 
                paragraph shall not apply to property described 
                in paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of section

                        paragraph shall apply to any property 
                        to which the amendments made by section 
                        201 of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 apply 
                        by reason of an election under section 
                        203(a)(1)(B) of such Act without regard 
                        to the requirement of subparagraph (A) 
                        that the property be placed in service

                accounting for this section.
          (2) Mining exploration and development costs.--
                  (A) In general.--With respect to each mine or 
                other natural deposit (other than an oil, gas, 
                or geothermal well) of the taxpayer, the amount 
                allowable as a deduction under section 616(a)

                subparagraph (A), a deduction shall be allowed 
                for the expenditures described in subparagraph 
                (A) for the taxable year in which such loss is 
                sustained in an amount equal to the lesser of--

                        they had remained capitalized, or
                          (ii) the amount of such expenditures

        from such contract shall be determined under the 
        percentage of completion method of accounting (as 
        modified by section 460(b)). For purposes of the 
        preceding sentence, in the case of a contract described

        section 169 (without regard to section 291) shall be 
        determined under the alternative system of section 
        168(g). In the case of such a facility placed in

        respect to which there are any expenditures to which 
        paragraph (2) or subsection (b)(2) applies) shall be 
        determined on the basis of the treatment prescribed in

                        shall be rounded to the next lowest 
                        multiple of $50.]
  (d) Itemized deductions.--For purposes of this subtitle, the 
term ``itemized deductions'' means the deductions allowable 
under this chapter other than--
          (1) the deductions allowable in arriving at adjusted 
        gross income, and
          [(2) the deduction for personal exemptions provided

          (1) In general.--Unless an individual makes an 
        election under this subsection for the taxable year, no 
        itemized deduction shall be allowed for the taxable 
        year. For purposes of this subtitle, the determination 
        of whether a deduction is allowable under this chapter 
        shall be made without regard to the preceding sentence.
          (2) Time and manner of election.--Any election under

        by the Secretary, a change of election with respect to 
        itemized deductions for any taxable year may be made 
        after the filing of the return for such year. If the 
        spouse of the taxpayer filed a separate return for any 
        taxable year corresponding to the taxable year of the 
        taxpayer, the change shall not be allowed unless, in 
        accordance with such regulations--
                  (A) the spouse makes a change of election 
                with respect to itemized deductions, for the 
                taxable year covered in such separate return, 
                consistent with the change of treatment sought 
                by the taxpayer, and
                  (B) the taxpayer and his spouse consent in 
                writing to the assessment (within such period 
                as may be agreed on with the Secretary) of any 
                deficiency, to the extent attributable to such 
                change of election, even though at the time of 
                the filing of such consent the assessment of 
                such deficiency would otherwise be prevented by 
                the operation of any law or rule of law.
        This paragraph shall not apply if the tax liability of 
        the taxpayer's spouse for the taxable year 
        corresponding to the taxable year of the taxpayer has 
        been compromised under section 7122.
  [(f) Aged or blind additional amounts.--

        shall be entitled to an additional amount of $600--

                before the close of his taxable year, and
                  [(B) for the spouse of the taxpayer if the 
                spouse has attained age 65 before the close of 
                the taxable year and an additional exemption is 
                allowable to the taxpayer for such spouse under 
                section 151(b).
          [(2) Additional amount for blind.--The taxpayer shall 
        be entitled to an additional amount of $600--
                  [(A) for himself if he is blind at the close 
                of the taxable year, and
                  [(B) for the spouse of the taxpayer if the 
                spouse is blind as of the close of the taxable 
                year and an additional exemption is allowable 
                to the taxpayer for such spouse under section 
                151(b).
        For purposes of subparagraph (B), if the spouse dies 
        during the taxable year the determination of whether 
        such spouse is blind shall be made as of the time of 
        such death.]

                separately.--In the case of a married 
                individual filing a separate return, if--

                        no gross income for the calendar year

                        such individual's taxable year begins, 
                        and
                          (iii) the TIN of such spouse is

SEC. 72. ANNUITIES; CERTAIN PROCEEDS OF ENDOWMENT AND LIFE INSURANCE 
                    CONTRACTS.

  (a) General rules for annuities.--
          (1) Income inclusion.--Except as otherwise provided 
        in this chapter, gross income includes any amount 
        received as an annuity (whether for a period certain or 
        during one or more lives) under an annuity, endowment, 
        or life insurance contract.
          (2) Partial annuitization.--If any amount is received 
        as an annuity for a period of 10 years or more or 
        during one or more lives under any portion of an 
        annuity, endowment, or life insurance contract--
                  (A) such portion shall be treated as a 
                separate contract for purposes of this section,
                  (B) for purposes of applying subsections (b), 
                (c), and (e), the investment in the contract 
                shall be allocated pro rata between each 
                portion of the contract from which amounts are 
                received as an annuity and the portion of the 
                contract from which amounts are not received as 
                an annuity, and
                  (C) a separate annuity starting date under 
                subsection (c)(4) shall be determined with 
                respect to each portion of the contract from 
                which amounts are received as an annuity.
  (b) Exclusion ratio.--
          (1) In general.--Gross income does not include that 
        part of any amount received as an annuity under an 
        annuity, endowment, or life insurance contract which 
        bears the same ratio to such amount as the investment 
        in the contract (as of the annuity starting date) bears 
        to the expected return under the contract (as of such 
        date).
          (2) Exclusion limited to investment.--The portion of 
        any amount received as an annuity which is excluded 
        from gross income under paragraph (1) shall not exceed 
        the unrecovered investment in the contract immediately 
        before the receipt of such amount.
          (3) Deduction where annuity payments cease before 
        entire investment recovered.--
                  (A) In general.--If--
                          (i) after the annuity starting date, 
                        payments as an annuity under the 
                        contract cease by reason of the death 
                        of an annuitant, and
                          (ii) as of the date of such 
                        cessation, there is unrecovered 
                        investment in the contract,
                the amount of such unrecovered investment (in 
                excess of any amount specified in subsection 
                (e)(5) which was not included in gross income) 
                shall be allowed as a deduction to the 
                annuitant for his last taxable year.
                  (B) Payments to other persons.--In the case 
                of any contract which provides for payments 
                meeting the requirements of subparagraphs (B) 
                and (C) of subsection (c)(2), the deduction 
                under subparagraph (A) shall be allowed to the 
                person entitled to such payments for the 
                taxable year in which such payments are 
                received.
                  (C) Net operating loss deductions provided.--
                For purposes of section 172, a deduction 
                allowed under this paragraph shall be treated 
                as if it were attributable to a trade or 
                business of the taxpayer.
          (4) Unrecovered investment.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the unrecovered investment in the contract 
        as of any date is--
                  (A) the investment in the contract 
                (determined without regard to subsection 
                (c)(2)) as of the annuity starting date, 
                reduced by
                  (B) the aggregate amount received under the 
                contract on or after such annuity starting date 
                and before the date as of which the 
                determination is being made, to the extent such 
                amount was excludable from gross income under 
                this subtitle.
  (c) Definitions.--
          (1) Investment in the contract.--For purposes of 
        subsection (b), the investment in the contract as of 
        the annuity starting date is--
                  (A) the aggregate amount of premiums or other 
                consideration paid for the contract, minus
                  (B) the aggregate amount received under the 
                contract before such date, to the extent that 
                such amount was excludable from gross income 
                under this subtitle or prior income tax laws.
          (2) Adjustment in investment where there is refund 
        feature.--If--
                  (A) the expected return under the contract 
                depends in whole or in part on the life 
                expectancy of one or more individuals;
                  (B) the contract provides for payments to be 
                made to a beneficiary (or to the estate of an 
                annuitant) on or after the death of the 
                annuitant or annuitants; and
                  (C) such payments are in the nature of a 
                refund of the consideration paid,
        then the value (computed without discount for interest) 
        of such payments on the annuity starting date shall be 
        subtracted from the amount determined under paragraph 
        (1). Such value shall be computed in accordance with 
        actuarial tables prescribed by the Secretary. For 
        purposes of this paragraph and of subsection (e)(2)(A), 
        the term ``refund of the consideration paid'' includes 
        amounts payable after the death of an annuitant by 
        reason of a provision in the contract for a life 
        annuity with minimum period of payments certain, but 
        (if part of the consideration was contributed by an 
        employer) does not include that part of any payment to 
        a beneficiary (or to the estate of the annuitant) which 
        is not attributable to the consideration paid by the 
        employee for the contract as determined under paragraph 
        (1)(A).
          (3) Expected return.--For purposes of subsection (b), 
        the expected return under the contract shall be 
        determined as follows:
                  (A) Life expectancy.--If the expected return 
                under the contract, for the period on and after 
                the annuity starting date, depends in whole or 
                in part on the life expectancy of one or more 
                individuals, the expected return shall be 
                computed with reference to actuarial tables 
                prescribed by the Secretary.
                  (B) Installment payments.--If subparagraph 
                (A) does not apply, the expected return is the 
                aggregate of the amounts receivable under the 
                contract as an annuity.
          (4) Annuity starting date.--For purposes of this 
        section, the annuity starting date in the case of any 
        contract is the first day of the first period for which 
        an amount is received as an annuity under the contract.
  (d) Special rules for qualified employer retirement plans.--
          (1) Simplified method of taxing annuity payments.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of any amount 
                received as an annuity under a qualified 
                employer retirement plan--
                          (i) subsection (b) shall not apply, 
                        and
                          (ii) the investment in the contract 
                        shall be recovered as provided in this 
                        paragraph.
                  (B) Method of recovering investment in

                allocated to the investment in the contract 
                shall be the portion of the amount described in 
                subparagraph (A) which bears the same ratio to 
                such amount as the investment in the contract 
                bears to the account balance. The determination 
                under the preceding sentence shall be made as 
                of the time of the distribution or at such 
                other time as the Secretary may prescribe.
                  (C) Treatment of forfeitable rights.--If an 
                employee does not have a nonforfeitable right 
                to any amount under any trust or contract to 
                which subparagraph (A) applies, such amount 
                shall not be treated as part of the account 
                balance.
                  (D) Investment in the contract before 1987.--
                In the case of a plan which on May 5, 1986, 
                permitted withdrawal of any employee 
                contributions before separation from service, 
                subparagraph (A) shall apply only to the extent 
                that amounts received before the annuity 
                starting date (when increased by amounts 
                previously received under the contract after 
                December 31, 1986) exceed the investment in the 
                contract as of December 31, 1986.
          (9) Extension of paragraph (2)(b) to qualified 
        tuition programs and Coverdell education savings 
        accounts.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
        subsection, paragraph (2)(B) shall apply to amounts 
        received under a qualified tuition program (as defined 
        in section 529(b)) or under a Coverdell education 
        savings account (as defined in section 530(b)). The 
        rule of paragraph (8)(B) shall apply for purposes of 
        this paragraph.
          (10) Treatment of modified endowment contracts.--
                  (A) In general.--Notwithstanding paragraph 
                (5)(C), in the case of any modified endowment 
                contract (as defined in section 7702A)--
                          (i) paragraphs (2)(B) and (4)(A) 
                        shall apply, and
                          (ii) in applying paragraph (4)(A), 
                        ``any person'' shall be substituted for 
                        ``an individual''.
                  (B) Treatment of certain burial contracts.--
                Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), paragraph 
                (4)(A) shall not apply to any assignment (or 
                pledge) of a modified endowment contract if 
                such assignment (or pledge) is solely to cover 
                the payment of expenses referred to in section 
                7702(e)(2)(C)(iii) and if the maximum death 
                benefit under such contract does not exceed 
                $25,000.
          (11) Special rules for certain combination contracts 
        providing long-term care insurance.--Notwithstanding 
        paragraphs (2), (5)(C), and (10), in the case of any 
        charge against the cash value of an annuity contract or 
        the cash surrender value of a life insurance contract 
        made as payment for coverage under a qualified long-
        term care insurance contract which is part of or a 
        rider on such annuity or life insurance contract--
                  (A) the investment in the contract shall be 
                reduced (but not below zero) by such charge, 
                and
                  (B) such charge shall not be includible in 
                gross income.
          (12) Anti-abuse rules.--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of determining 
                the amount includible in gross income under 
                this subsection--
                          (i) all modified endowment contracts 
                        issued by the same company to the same 
                        policyholder during any calendar year 
                        shall be treated as 1 modified 
                        endowment contract, and
                          (ii) all annuity contracts issued by 
                        the same company to the same 
                        policyholder during any calendar year 
                        shall be treated as 1 annuity contract.
                The preceding sentence shall not apply to any 
                contract described in paragraph (5)(D).
                  (B) Regulatory authority.--The Secretary may 
                by regulations prescribe such additional rules 
                as may be necessary or appropriate to prevent 
                avoidance of the purposes of this subsection 
                through serial purchases of contracts or 
                otherwise.
  (f) Special rules for computing employees' contributions.--In 
computing, for purposes of subsection (c)(1)(A), the aggregate 
amount of premiums or other consideration paid for the 
contract, and for purposes of subsection (e)(6), the aggregate 
premiums or other consideration paid, amounts contributed by 
the employer shall be included, but only to the extent that--
          (1) such amounts were includible in the gross income 
        of the employee under this subtitle or prior income tax 
        laws; or
          (2) if such amounts had been paid directly to the 
        employee at the time they were contributed, they would 
        not have been includible in the gross income of the 
        employee under the law applicable at the time of such 
        contribution.
Paragraph (2) shall not apply to amounts which were contributed 
by the employer after December 31, 1962, and which would not 
have been includible in the gross income of the employee by 
reason of the application of section 911 if such amounts had 
been paid directly to the employee at the time of contribution. 
The preceding sentence shall not apply to amounts which were 
contributed by the employer, as determined under regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary, to provide pension or annuity 
credits, to the extent such credits are attributable to 
services performed before January 1, 1963, and are provided 
pursuant to pension or annuity plan provisions in existence on 
March 12, 1962, and on that date applicable to such services, 
or to the extent such credits are attributable to services 
performed as a foreign missionary (within the meaning of 
section 403(b)(2)(D)(iii), as in effect before the enactment of 
the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001).
  (g) Rules for transferee where transfer was for value.--Where 
any contract (or any interest therein) is transferred (by 
assignment or otherwise) for a valuable consideration, to the 
extent that the contract (or interest therein) does not, in the 
hands of the transferee, have a basis which is determined by 
reference to the basis in the hands of the transferor, then--
          (1) for purposes of this section, only the actual 
        value of such consideration, plus the amount of the 
        premiums and other consideration paid by the transferee 
        after the transfer, shall be taken into account in 
        computing the aggregate amount of the premiums or other 
        consideration paid for the contract;
          (2) for purposes of subsection (c)(1)(B), there shall 
        be taken into account only the aggregate amount 
        received under the contract by the transferee before 
        the annuity starting date, to the extent that such 
        amount was excludable from gross income under this 
        subtitle or prior income tax laws; and
          (3) the annuity starting date is the first day of the 
        first period for which the transferee received an 
        amount under the contract as an annuity.
For purposes of this subsection, the term ``transferee'' 
includes a beneficiary of, or the estate of, the transferee.
  (h) Option to receive annuity in lieu of lump sum.--If--
          (1) a contract provides for payment of a lump sum in 
        full discharge of an obligation under the contract, 
        subject to an option to receive an annuity in lieu of 
        such lump sum;
          (2) the option is exercised within 60 days after the 
        day on which such lump sum first became payable; and
          (3) part or all of such lump sum would (but for this 
        subsection) be includible in gross income by reason of 
        subsection (e)(1), then, for purposes of this subtitle, 
        no part of such lump sum shall be considered as 
        includible in gross income at the time such lump sum 
        first became payable.
  (j) Interest.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
section, if any amount is held under an agreement to pay 
interest thereon, the interest payments shall be included in 
gross income.
  (l) Face-amount certificates.--For purposes of this section, 
the term ``endowment contract'' includes a face-amount 
certificate, as defined in section 2(a)(15) of the Investment 
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C., sec. 80a-2), issued after 
December 31, 1954.
  (m) Special rules applicable to employee annuities and 
distributions under employee plans.--
          (2) Computation of consideration paid by the 
        employee.--In computing--
                  (A) the aggregate amount of premiums or other 
                consideration paid for the contract for 
                purposes of subsection (c)(1)(A) (relating to 
                the investment in the contract), and
                  (B) the aggregate premiums or other 
                consideration paid for purposes of subsection 
                (e)(6) (relating to certain amounts not 
                received as an annuity),
        any amount allowed as a deduction with respect to the 
        contract under section 404 which was paid while the 
        employee was an employee within the meaning of section 
        401(c)(1) shall be treated as consideration contributed 
        by the employer, and there shall not be taken into 
        account any portion of the premiums or other 
        consideration for the contract paid while the employee 
        was an owner-employee which is properly allocable (as 
        determined under regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary) to the cost of life, accident, health, or 
        other insurance.
          (3) Life insurance contracts.--
                  (A) This paragraph shall apply to any life 
                insurance contract--
                          (i) purchased as a part of a plan 
                        described in section 403(a), or
                          (ii) purchased by a trust described 
                        in section 401(a) which is exempt from 
                        tax under section 501(a) if the 
                        proceeds of such contract are payable 
                        directly or indirectly to a participant 
                        in such trust or to a beneficiary of 
                        such participant.
                  (B) Any contribution to a plan described in 
                subparagraph (A)(i) or a trust described in 
                subparagraph (A)(ii) which is allowed as a 
                deduction under section 404, and any income of 
                a trust described in subparagraph (A)(ii), 
                which is determined in accordance with 
                regulations prescribed by the Secretary to have 
                been applied to purchase the life insurance 
                protection under a contract described in 
                subparagraph (A), is includible in the gross 
                income of the participant for the taxable year 
                when so applied.
                  (C) In the case of the death of an individual 
                insured under a contract described in 
                subparagraph (A), an amount equal to the cash 
                surrender value of the contract immediately 
                before the death of the insured shall be 
                treated as a payment under such plan or a 
                distribution by such trust, and the excess of 
                the amount payable by reason of the death of 
                the insured over such cash surrender value 
                shall not be includible in gross income under 
                this section and shall be treated as provided 
                in section 101.
          (5) Penalties applicable to certain amounts received 
        by 5-percent owners (A) This paragraph applies to 
        amounts which are received from a qualified trust 
        described in section 401(a) or under a plan described 
        in section 403(a) at any time by an individual who is, 
        or has been, a 5-percent owner, or by a successor of 
        such an individual, but only to the extent such amounts 
        are determined, under regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary, to exceed the benefits provided for such 
        individual under the plan formula.
                  (B) If a person receives an amount to which 
                this paragraph applies, his tax under this 
                chapter for the taxable year in which such 
                amount is received shall be increased by an 
                amount equal to 10 percent of the portion of 
                the amount so received which is includible in 
                his gross income for such taxable year.
                  (C) For purposes of this paragraph, the term 
                ``5-percent owner'' means any individual who, 
                at any time during the 5 plan years preceding 
                the plan year ending in the taxable year in 
                which the amount is received, is a 5-percent 
                owner (as defined in section 416(i)(1)(B)).
          (6) Owner-employee defined.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``owner-employee'' has the meaning 
        assigned to it by section 401(c)(3) and includes an 
        individual for whose benefit an individual retirement 
        account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) 
        is maintained. For purposes of the preceding sentence, 
        the term ``owner-employee'' shall include an employee 
        within the meaning of section 401(c)(1).
          (7) Meaning of disabled.--For purposes of this 
        section, an individual shall be considered to be 
        disabled if he is unable to engage in any substantial 
        gainful activity by reason of any medically 
        determinable physical or mental impairment which can be 
        expected to result in death or to be of long-continued 
        and indefinite duration. An individual shall not be 
        considered to be disabled unless he furnishes proof of 
        the existence thereof in such form and manner as the 
        Secretary may require.
          (10) Determination of investment in the contract in 
        the case of qualified domestic relations orders.--Under 
        regulations prescribed by the Secretary, in the case of 
        a distribution or payment made to an alternate payee 
        who is the spouse or former spouse of the participant 
        pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as 
        defined in section 414(p)), the investment in the 
        contract as of the date prescribed in such regulations 
        shall be allocated on a pro rata basis between the 
        present value of such distribution or payment and the 
        present value of all other benefits payable with 
        respect to the participant to which such order relates.
  (n) Annuities under retired serviceman's family protection 
plan or survivor benefit plan.--Subsection (b) shall not apply 
in the case of amounts received after December 31, 1965, as an 
annuity under chapter 73 of title 10 of the United States Code, 
but all such amounts shall be excluded from gross income until 
there has been so excluded (under section 122(b)(1) or this 
section, including amounts excluded before January 1, 1966) an 
amount equal to the consideration for the contract (as defined 
by section 122(b)(2)), plus any amount treated pursuant to 
section 101 (b)(2)(D) (as in effect on the day before the date 
of the enactment of the Small Business Job Protection Act of 
1996) as additional consideration paid by the employee. 
Thereafter all amounts so received shall be included in gross 
income.
  (o) Special rules for distributions from qualified plans to 
which employee made deductible contributions.--
          (1) Treatment of contributions.--For purposes of this 
        section and sections 402 and 403, notwithstanding 
        section 414(h), any deductible employee contribution 
        made to a qualified employer plan or government plan 
        shall be treated as an amount contributed by the 
        employer which is not includible in the gross income of 
        the employee.
          (3) Amounts constructively received.--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of this 
                subsection, rules similar to the rules provided 
                by subsection (p) (other than the exception 
                contained in paragraph (2) thereof) shall 
                apply.
                  (B) Purchase of life insurance.--To the 
                extent any amount of accumulated deductible 
                employee contributions of an employee are 
                applied to the purchase of life insurance 
                contracts, such amount shall be treated as 
                distributed to the employee in the year so 
                applied.
          (4) Special rule for treatment of rollover amounts.--
        For purposes of sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 
        408(d)(3), and 457(e)(16), the Secretary shall 
        prescribe regulations providing for such allocations of 
        amounts attributable to accumulated deductible employee 
        contributions, and for such other rules, as may be 
        necessary to insure that such accumulated deductible 
        employee contributions do not become eligible for 
        additional tax benefits (or freed from limitations) 
        through the use of rollovers.
          (5) Definitions and special rules.--For purposes of 
        this subsection--
                  (A) Deductible employee contributions.--The 
                term ``deductible employee contributions''

                made after December 31, 1981, in a taxable year 
                beginning after such date and made for a 
                taxable year beginning before January 1, 1987, 
                and allowable as a deduction under section 
                219(a) for such taxable year.
                  (B) Accumulated deductible employee 
                contributions.--The term ``accumulated 
                deductible employee contributions'' means the 
                deductible employee contributions--
                          (i) increased by the amount of income 
                        and gain allocable to such 
                        contributions, and
                          (ii) reduced by the sum of the amount 
                        of loss and expense allocable to such 
                        contributions and the amounts 
                        distributed with respect to the 
                        employee which are attributable to such 
                        contributions (or income or gain 
                        allocable to such contributions).
                  (C) Qualified employer plan.--The term 
                ``qualified employer plan'' has the meaning 
                given to such term by subsection (p)(3)(A)(i).
                  (D) Government plan.--The term ``government 
                plan'' has the meaning given such term by 
                subsection (p)(3)(B).
          (6) Ordering rules.--Unless the plan specifies 
        otherwise, any distribution from such plan shall not be 
        treated as being made from the accumulated deductible 
        employee contributions, until all other amounts to the 
        credit of the employee have been distributed.
  (p) Loans treated as distributions.--For purposes of this 
section--
          (1) Treatment as distributions.--
                  (A) Loans.--If during any taxable year a 
                participant or beneficiary receives (directly 
                or indirectly) any amount as a loan from a 
                qualified employer plan, such amount shall be 
                treated as having been received by such 
                individual as a distribution under such plan.
                  (B) Assignments or pledges.--If during any 
                taxable year a participant or beneficiary 
                assigns (or agrees to assign) or pledges (or 
                agrees to pledge) any portion of his interest 
                in a qualified employer plan, such portion 
                shall be treated as having been received by 
                such individual as a loan from such plan.
          (2) Exception for certain loans.--
                  (A) General rule.--Paragraph (1) shall not 
                apply to any loan to the extent that such loan 
                (when added to the outstanding balance of all 
                other loans from such plan whether made on, 
                before, or after August 13, 1982), does not 
                exceed the lesser of--
                          (i) $50,000, reduced by the excess 
                        (if any) of--
                                  (I) the highest outstanding 
                                balance of loans from the plan 
                                during the 1-year period ending 
                                on the day before the date on 
                                which such loan was made, over
                                  (II) the outstanding balance 
                                of loans from the plan on the 
                                date on which such loan was 
                                made, or
                          (ii) the greater of (I) one-half of 
                        the present value of the nonforfeitable 
                        accrued benefit of the employee under 
                        the plan, or (II) $10,000.
                For purposes of clause (ii), the present value 
                of the nonforfeitable accrued benefit shall be 
                determined without regard to any accumulated 
                deductible employee contributions (as defined 
                in subsection (o)(5)(B)).
                  (B) Requirement that loan be repayable within

                        Clause (i) shall not apply to any loan 
                        used to acquire any dwelling unit which 
                        within a reasonable time is to be used 
                        (determined at the time the loan is 
                        made) as the principal residence of the 
                        participant.
                  (C) Requirement of level amortization.--
                Except as provided in regulations, this 
                paragraph shall not apply to any loan unless

                (with payments not less frequently than 
                quarterly) is required over the term of the 
                loan.

                        apply, and
                          (ii) all plans of an employer 
                        (determined after the application of 
                        such subsections) shall be treated as 1 
                        plan.

                  (A) In general.--No deduction otherwise 
                allowable under this chapter shall be allowed

          (1) In general.--A contract shall not be treated as

                  (A) if any holder of such contract dies on or 
                after the annuity starting date and before the 
                entire interest in such contract has been 
                distributed, the remaining portion of such 
                interest will be distributed at least as 
                rapidly as under the method of distributions 
                being used as of the date of his death, and
                  (B) if any holder of such contract dies 
                before the annuity starting date, the entire

                accordance with regulations) over the life of 
                such designated beneficiary (or over a period 
                not extending beyond the life expectancy of 
                such beneficiary), and
                  (C) such distributions begin not later than 1 
                year after the date of the holder's death or 
                such later date as the Secretary may by 
                regulations prescribe,
        then for purposes of paragraph (1), the portion

        attributable to an amount transferred to an eligible

                nonresident alien for purposes of the laws of 
                the United States, and
                  (C) which were not subject to income tax

  (b) Amounts expended for medical care.--Except in the case of 
amounts attributable to (and not in excess of) deductions 
allowed under section 213 (relating to medical, etc., expenses) 
for any prior taxable year, gross income does not include 
amounts referred to in subsection (a) if such amounts are paid, 
directly or indirectly, to the taxpayer to reimburse the 
taxpayer for expenses incurred by him for the medical care (as 
defined in section 213(d)) of the taxpayer, his spouse, his 
dependents ([as defined in section 152] as defined in section

        or a dependent (as defined in [section 152] section 
        7706, determined without regard to subsections (b)(1), 
        (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) thereof), and

and section 104--
          (1) amounts received under an accident or health plan 
        for employees, and
          (2) amounts received from a sickness and disability 
        fund for employees maintained under the law of a State 
        or the District of Columbia,
shall be treated as amounts received through accident or health 
insurance.
  (f) Rules for application of section 213.--For purposes of 
section 213(a) (relating to medical, dental, etc., expenses) 
amounts excluded from gross income under subsection (c) shall 
not be considered as compensation (by insurance or otherwise) 
for expenses paid for medical care.

plan.--
          (1) In general.--In the case of amounts paid to a 
        highly compensated individual under a self-insured 
        medical reimbursement plan which does not satisfy the 
        requirements of paragraph (2) for a plan year, 
        subsection (b) shall not apply to such amounts to the 
        extent they constitute an excess reimbursement of such 
        highly compensated individual.
          (2) Prohibition of discrimination.--A self-insured 
        medical reimbursement plan satisfies the requirements 
        of this paragraph only if--
                  (A) the plan does not discriminate in favor 
                of highly compensated individuals as to 
                eligibility to participate; and
                  (B) the benefits provided under the plan do 
                not discriminate in favor of participants who 
                are highly compensated individuals.
          (3) Nondiscriminatory eligibility classifications.--
                  (A) In general.--A self-insured medical 
                reimbursement plan does not satisfy the 
                requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph 
                (2) unless such plan benefits--
                          (i) 70 percent or more of all 
                        employees, or 80 percent or more of all 
                        the employees who are eligible to 
                        benefit under the plan if 70 percent or 
                        more of all employees are eligible to 
                        benefit under the plan; or
                          (ii) such employees as qualify under 
                        a classification set up by the employer 
                        and found by the Secretary not to be 
                        discriminatory in favor of highly 
                        compensated individuals.
                  (B) Exclusion of certain employees.--For 
                purposes of subparagraph (A), there may be

                          (iv) employees not included in the 
                        plan who are included in a unit of 
                        employees covered by an agreement 
                        between employee representatives and 
                        one or more employers which the 
                        Secretary finds to be a collective 
                        bargaining agreement, if accident and 
                        health benefits were the subject of 
                        good faith bargaining between such 
                        employee representatives and such 
                        employer or employers; and
                          (v) employees who are nonresident 
                        aliens and who receive no earned income 
                        (within the meaning of section 
                        911(d)(2)) from the employer which 
                        constitutes income from sources within 
                        the United States (within the meaning 
                        of section 861(a)(3)).
          (4) Nondiscriminatory benefits.--A self-insured 
        medical reimbursement plan does not meet the 
        requirements of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) 
        unless all benefits provided for participants who are 
        highly compensated individuals are provided for all 
        other participants.
          (5) Highly compensated individual defined.--For 
        purposes of this subsection, the term ``highly 
        compensated individual'' means an individual who is--
                  (A) one of the 5 highest paid officers,
                  (B) a shareholder who owns (with the 
                application of section 318) more than 10 
                percent in value of the stock of the employer, 
                or
                  (C) among the highest paid 25 percent of all 
                employees (other than employees described in 
                paragraph (3)(B) who are not participants).
          (6) Self-insured medical reimbursement plan.--The 
        term ``self-insured medical reimbursement plan'' means 
        a plan of an employer to reimburse employees for 
        expenses referred to in subsection (b) for which 
        reimbursement is not provided under a policy of 
        accident and health insurance.
          (7) Excess reimbursement of highly compensated 
        individual.--For purposes of this section, the excess 
        reimbursement of a highly compensated individual which 
        is attributable to a self-insured medical reimbursement 
        plan is--
                  (A) in the case of a benefit available to 
                highly compensated individuals but not to all 
                other participants (or which otherwise fails to 
                satisfy the requirements of paragraph (2)(B)), 
                the amount reimbursed under the plan to the 
                employee with respect to such benefit, and
                  (B) in the case of benefits (other than 
                benefits described in subparagraph (A)) paid to 
                a highly compensated individual by a plan which 
                fails to satisfy the requirements of paragraph 
                (2), the total amount reimbursed to the highly 
                compensated individual for the plan year 
                multiplied by a fraction--
                          (i) the numerator of which is the 
                        total amount reimbursed to all 
                        participants who are highly compensated 
                        individuals under the plan for the plan 
                        year, and
                          (ii) the denominator of which is the 
                        total amount reimbursed to all 
                        employees under the plan for such plan 
                        year.
        In determining the fraction under subparagraph (B), 
        there shall not be taken into account any reimbursement 
        which is attributable to a benefit described in 
        subparagraph (A).
          (8) Certain controlled groups, etc..--All employees 
        who are treated as employed by a single employer under 
        subsection (b), (c), or (m) of section 414 shall be

        of this section.

        regulations as may be necessary to carry out the 
        provisions of this section.
          (10) Time of inclusion.--Any amount paid for a plan 
        year that is included in income by reason of this 
        subsection shall be treated as received or accrued in 
        the taxable year of the participant in which the plan 
        year ends.
  (i) Sick pay under Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, gross income 
includes benefits paid under section 2(a) of the Railroad 
Unemployment Insurance Act for days of sickness; except to the

standards prescribed by the Railroad Retirement Board) is the 
result of on-the-job injury.
  (j) Special rule for certain governmental plans.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of subsection (b), 
        amounts paid (directly or indirectly) to a qualified 
        taxpayer from an accident or health plan described in 
        paragraph (2) shall not fail to be excluded from gross 
        income solely because such plan, on or before January 
        1, 2008, provides for reimbursements of health care 
        expenses of a deceased employee's beneficiary (other 
        than an individual described in paragraph (3)(B)).
          (2) Plan described.--An accident or health plan is 
        described in this paragraph if such plan is funded by a 
        medical trust that is established in connection with a 
        public retirement system or established by or on behalf 
        of a State or political subdivision thereof and that--
                  (A) has been authorized by a State 
                legislature, or
                  (B) has received a favorable ruling from the 
                Internal Revenue Service that the trust's 
                income is not includible in gross income under 
                section 115 or 501(c)(9).
          (3) Qualified taxpayer.--For purposes of paragraph 
        (1), with respect to an accident or health plan 
        described in paragraph (2), the term ``qualified 
        taxpayer'' means a taxpayer who is--
                  (A) an employee, or
                  (B) the spouse, dependent (as defined for 
                purposes of subsection (b)), or child (as 
                defined for purposes of such subsection) of an 
                employee.

  (a) Exclusion from gross income.--
          (1) In general.--Gross income does not include any 
        amount which (but for this subsection) would be 
        includible in gross income by reason of the discharge 
        (in whole or in part) of indebtedness of the taxpayer 
        if--
                  (A) the discharge occurs in a title 11 case,
                  (B) the discharge occurs when the taxpayer is 
                insolvent,
                  (C) the indebtedness discharged is qualified 
                farm indebtedness,
                  (D) in the case of a taxpayer other than a C 
                corporation, the indebtedness discharged is 
                qualified real property business indebtedness, 
                or
                  (E) the indebtedness discharged is qualified 
                principal residence indebtedness which is 
                discharged--
                          (i) before January 1, 2018, or ii) 
                        subject to an arrangement that is 
                        entered into and evidenced in writing 
                        before January 1, 2018.
          (2) Coordination of exclusions.--
                  (A) Title 11 exclusion takes precedence.--
                Subparagraphs (B), (C), (D), and (E) of 
                paragraph (1) shall not apply to a discharge 
                which occurs in a title 11 case.
                  (B) Insolvency exclusion takes precedence

          (1) No other insolvency exception.--Except as

        income includes income from the discharge of 
        indebtedness.
          (2) Income not realized to extent of lost 
        deductions.--No income shall be realized from the 
        discharge of indebtedness to the extent that payment of 
        the liability would have given rise to a deduction.
          (3) Adjustments for unamortized premium and 
        discount.--The amount taken into account with respect 
        to any discharge shall be properly adjusted for 
        unamortized premium and unamortized discount with 
        respect to the indebtedness discharged.
          (4) Acquisition of indebtedness by person related to 
        debtor.--
                  (A) Treated as acquisition by debtor.--For 
                purposes of determining income of the debtor 
                from discharge of indebtedness, to the extent 
                provided in regulations prescribed by the 
                Secretary, the acquisition of outstanding 
                indebtedness by a person bearing a relationship 
                to the debtor specified in section 267(b) or 
                707(b)(1) from a person who does not bear such 
                a relationship to the debtor shall be treated 
                as the acquisition of such indebtedness by the 
                debtor. Such regulations shall provide for such 
                adjustments in the treatment of any subsequent 
                transactions involving the indebtedness as may 
                be appropriate by reason of the application of 
                the preceding sentence.
                  (B) Members of family.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, sections 267(b) and 707(b)(1) shall 
                be applied as if section 267(c)(4) provided 
                that the family of an individual consists of 
                the individual's spouse, the individual's 
                children, grandchildren, and parents, and any 
                spouse of the individual's children or 
                grandchildren.
                  (C) Entities under common control treated as 
                related.--For purposes of this paragraph, two 
                entities which are treated as a single employer 
                under subsection (b) or (c) of section 414 
                shall be treated as bearing a relationship to 
                each other which is described in section 
                267(b).
          (5) Purchase-money debt reduction for solvent debtor 
        treated as price reduction.--If--
                  (A) the debt of a purchaser of property to 
                the seller of such property which arose out of 
                the purchase of such property is reduced,
                  (B) such reduction does not occur--
                          (i) in a title 11 case, or
                          (ii) when the purchaser is insolvent, 
                        and
                  (C) but for this paragraph, such reduction 
                would be treated as income to the purchaser 
                from the discharge of indebtedness,
        then such reduction shall be treated as a purchase 
        price adjustment.
          (6) Indebtedness contributed to capital.--Except as 
        provided in regulations, for purposes of determining 
        income of the debtor from discharge of indebtedness, if 
        a debtor corporation acquires its indebtedness from a 
        shareholder as a contribution to capital--
                  (A) section 118 shall not apply, but
                  (B) such corporation shall be treated as 
                having satisfied the indebtedness with an 
                amount of money equal to the shareholder's

                section 1245--
                          (i) such stock (and any other 
                        property the basis of which is 
                        determined in whole or in part by 
                        reference to the adjusted basis of such 
                        stock) shall be treated as section 1245 
                        property,
                          (ii) the aggregate amount allowed to 
                        the creditor--
                                  (I) as deductions under 
                                subsection (a) or (b) of 
                                section 166 (by reason of the 
                                worthlessness or partial 
                                worthlessness of the 
                                indebtedness), or

                                the exchange, shall be treated 
                                as an amount allowed as a 
                                deduction for depreciation, and
                          (iii) an exchange of such stock 
                        qualifying under section 354(a), 
                        355(a), or 356(a) shall be treated as 
                        an exchange to which section 1245(b)(3) 
                        applies.
                The amount determined under clause (ii) shall 
                be reduced by the amount (if any) included in 
                the creditor's gross income on the exchange.
                  (B) Special rule for cash basis taxpayers.--
                In the case of any creditor who computes his 
                taxable income under the cash receipts and 
                disbursements method, proper adjustment shall 
                be made in the amount taken into account under 
                clause (ii) of subparagraph (A) for any amount 
                which was not included in the creditor's gross 
                income but which would have been included in 
                such gross income if such indebtedness had been 
                satisfied in full.
                  (C) Stock of parent corporation.--For 
                purposes of this paragraph, stock of a

                be treated as stock of the debtor corporation.
                  (D) Treatment of successor corporation.--For 
                purposes of this paragraph, the term ``debtor

                  (E) Partnership rule.--Under regulations 
                prescribed by the Secretary, rules similar to 
                the rules of the foregoing subparagraphs of 
                this paragraph shall apply with respect to the 
                indebtedness of a partnership.
          (8) Indebtedness satisfied by corporate stock or 
        partnership interest.--For purposes of determining 
        income of a debtor from discharge of indebtedness, if--
                  (A) a debtor corporation transfers stock, or
                  (B) a debtor partnership transfers a capital 
                or profits interest in such partnership,
        to a creditor in satisfaction of its recourse or 
        nonrecourse indebtedness, such corporation or 
        partnership shall be treated as having satisfied the 
        indebtedness with an amount of money equal to the fair 
        market value of the stock or interest. In the case of 
        any partnership, any discharge of indebtedness income 
        recognized under this paragraph shall be included in 
        the distributive shares of taxpayers which were the 
        partners in the partnership immediately before such 
        discharge.
          (9) Discharge of indebtedness income not taken into 
        account in determining whether entity meets REIT 
        qualifications.--Any amount included in gross income by 
        reason of the discharge of indebtedness shall not be 
        taken into account for purposes of paragraphs (2) and 
        (3) of section 856(c).
          (10) Indebtedness satisfied by issuance of debt 
        instrument.--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of determining 
                income of a debtor from discharge of 
                indebtedness, if a debtor issues a debt 
                instrument in satisfaction of indebtedness, 
                such debtor shall be treated as having 
                satisfied the indebtedness with an amount of 
                money equal to the issue price of such debt 
                instrument.
                  (B) Issue price.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the issue price of any debt 
                instrument shall be determined under sections 
                1273 and 1274. For purposes of the preceding 
                sentence, section 1273(b)(4) shall be applied 
                by reducing the stated redemption price of any 
                instrument by the portion of such stated 
                redemption price which is treated as interest 
                for purposes of this chapter.

        student loan if such discharge was pursuant to a 
        provision of such loan under which all or part of the 
        indebtedness of the individual would be discharged if

                  (B) Qualified person.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``qualified person'' 
                has the meaning given to such term by section

                        discharge occurs.
                  (B) Adjusted tax attributes.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``adjusted tax

                attributes described in subparagraphs (A), (B), 
                (C), (D), (F), and (G) of subsection (b)(2)

                For purposes of this paragraph, the adjusted 
                basis of any qualified property and the amount 
                of the adjusted tax attributes shall be 
                determined after any reduction under subsection 
                (b) by reason of amounts excluded from gross 
                income under subsection (a)(1)(B).

indebtedness.--
          (1) Basis reduction.--The amount excluded from gross

        purposes of this section, the term ``qualified 
        principal residence indebtedness'' means acquisition

        163(h)(3)(B), applied by substituting ``$2,000,000 
        ($1,000,000'' for ``[$1,000,000 ($500,000] $750,000 
        ($375,000'' in clause (ii) thereof) with respect to the 
        principal residence of the taxpayer.
          (3) Exception for certain discharges not related to 
        taxpayer's financial condition.--Subsection (a)(1)(E)

        lender or any other factor not directly related to a 
        decline in the value of the residence or to the 
        financial condition of the taxpayer.
          (4) Ordering rule.--If any loan is discharged, in 
        whole or in part, and only a portion of such loan is 
        qualified principal residence indebtedness, subsection 
        (a)(1)(E) shall apply only to so much of the amount 
        discharged as exceeds the amount of the loan (as 
        determined immediately before such discharge) which is 
        not qualified principal residence indebtedness.
          (5) Principal residence.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``principal residence'' has the 
        same meaning as when used in section 121.

                in 2009, the fifth taxable year following the 
                taxable year in which the reacquisition occurs, 
                and

                taxable year in which the reacquisition occurs.
          (2) Deferral of deduction for original issue discount 
        in debt for debt exchanges.--
                  (A) In general.--If, as part of a 
                reacquisition to which paragraph (1) applies, 
                any debt instrument is issued for the 
                applicable debt instrument being reacquired (or 
                is treated as so issued under subsection (e)(4) 
                and the regulations thereunder) and there is 
                any original issue discount determined under 
                subpart A of part V of subchapter P of this 
                chapter with respect to the debt instrument so 
                issued--
                          (i) except as provided in clause 
                        (ii), no deduction otherwise allowable 
                        under this chapter shall be allowed to 
                        the issuer of such debt instrument with 
                        respect to the portion of such original 
                        issue discount which--
                                  (I) accrues before the 1st 
                                taxable year in the 5-taxable-
                                year period in which income 
                                from the discharge of 
                                indebtedness attributable to 
                                the reacquisition of the debt 
                                instrument is includible under 
                                paragraph (1), and
                                  (II) does not exceed the 
                                income from the discharge of 
                                indebtedness with respect to 
                                the debt instrument being 
                                reacquired, and
                          (ii) the aggregate amount of 
                        deductions disallowed under clause (i) 
                        shall be allowed as a deduction ratably 
                        over the 5-taxable-year period 
                        described in clause (i)(I).
                If the amount of the original issue discount 
                accruing before such 1st taxable year exceeds 
                the income from the discharge of indebtedness 
                with respect to the applicable debt instrument 
                being reacquired, the deductions shall be 
                disallowed in the order in which the original 
                issue discount is accrued.
                  (B) Deemed debt for debt exchanges.--For 
                purposes of subparagraph (A), if any debt 
                instrument is issued by an issuer and the

                reacquire an applicable debt instrument of the 
                issuer, the debt instrument so issued shall be 
                treated as issued for the debt instrument being 
                reacquired. If only a portion of the proceeds 
                from a debt instrument are so used, the rules 
                of subparagraph (A) shall apply to the portion 
                of any original issue discount on the newly 
                issued debt instrument which is equal to the 
                portion of the proceeds from such instrument 
                used to reacquire the outstanding instrument.

        partnership, any income deferred under this subsection 
        shall be allocated to the partners in the partnership

        shares of such partners under section 704 if such 
        income were recognized at such time. Any decrease in a

                appropriate,
                  (B) requiring reporting of the election (and 
                such other information as the Secretary may 
                require) on returns of tax for subsequent 
                taxable years, and
                  (C) rules for the application of this 
                subsection to partnerships, S corporations, and 
                other pass-thru entities, including for the 
                allocation of deferred deductions.

                        the health benefit coverage under the 
                        plan of the majority of the highly

                          (ii) equals or exceeds 75 percent of 
                        the cost of the health benefit coverage

                (ii):
                          (i) No employee is required to

                        employers maintaining the plan as a 
                        condition of participation in the plan, 
                        and the employment requirement for each 
                        employee is the same.
                          (ii) Any employee who has satisfied 
                        the employment requirement of clause

                        day of the first plan year beginning 
                        after the date the employment 
                        requirement was satisfied unless the 
                        employee was separated from service 
                        before the first day of that plan year.
          (4) Certain controlled groups, etc..--All employees

spending arrangements of individuals called to active duty.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this title, a plan 
        or other arrangement shall not fail to be treated as a 
        cafeteria plan or health flexible spending arrangement 
        (and shall not fail to be treated as an accident or 
        health plan) merely because such arrangement provides 
        for qualified reservist distributions.

        of this subsection, the term ``qualified reservist 
        distribution'' means any distribution to an individual

                in excess of 179 days or for an indefinite 
                period, and
                  (B) such distribution is made during the 
                period beginning on the date of such order or

        benefit is provided under a cafeteria plan through 
        employer contributions to a health flexible spending 
        arrangement, such benefit shall not be treated as a 
        qualified benefit unless the cafeteria plan provides 
        that an employee may not elect for any taxable year to 
        have salary reduction contributions in excess of $2,500 
        made to such arrangement.
          (2) Adjustment for inflation.--In the case of any 
        taxable year beginning after December 31, 2013, the 
        dollar amount in paragraph (1) shall be increased by an 
        amount equal to--
                  (A) such amount, multiplied by
                  (B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined 
                under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in 
                which such taxable year begins by substituting 
                ``calendar year 2012'' for ``calendar year 
                2016'' in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof.
        If any increase determined under this paragraph is not 
        a multiple of $50, such increase shall be rounded to 
        the next lowest multiple of $50.
  (j) Simple cafeteria plans for small businesses.--
          (1) In general.--An eligible employer maintaining a 
        simple cafeteria plan with respect to which the

                eligible employer, and
                  (B) with respect to which the contribution 
                requirements of paragraph (3), and the

                  (A) In general.--The requirements of this 
                paragraph are met if, under the plan the 
                employer is required, without regard to whether 
                a qualified employee makes any salary reduction 
                contribution, to make a contribution to provide 
                qualified benefits under the plan on behalf of 
                each qualified employee in an amount equal to--
                          (i) a uniform percentage (not less 
                        than 2 percent) of the employee's 
                        compensation for the plan year, or
                          (ii) an amount which is not less than 
                        the lesser of--

                                employee's compensation for the

                  (B) Matching contributions on behalf of 
                highly compensated and key employees.--The 
                requirements of subparagraph (A)(ii) shall not 
                be treated as met if, under the plan, the rate 
                of contributions with respect to any salary 
                reduction contribution of a highly compensated 
                or key employee at any rate of contribution is 
                greater than that with respect to an employee 
                who is not a highly compensated or key 
                employee.
                  (C) Additional contributions.--Subject to 
                subparagraph (B), nothing in this paragraph 
                shall be treated as prohibiting an employer 
                from making contributions to provide qualified 
                benefits under the plan in addition to 
                contributions required under subparagraph (A).

                        finds to be a collective bargaining

                        benefits covered under the cafeteria 
                        plan were the subject of good faith 
                        bargaining between employee 
                        representatives and the employer, or
                          (iv) who are described in section 
                        410(b)(3)(C) (relating to nonresident 
                        aliens working outside the United 
                        States).
                A plan may provide a shorter period of service 
                or younger age for purposes of clause (i) or 
                (ii).
          (5) Eligible employer.--For purposes of this 
        subsection--
                  (A) In general.--The term ``eligible 
                employer'' means, with respect to any year, any 
                employer if such employer employed an average 
                of 100 or fewer employees on business days 
                during either of the 2 preceding years. For 
                purposes of this subparagraph, a year may only 
                be taken into account if the employer was in 
                existence throughout the year.
                  (B) Employers not in existence during 
                preceding year.--If an employer was not in 
                existence throughout the preceding year, the 
                determination under subparagraph (A) shall be 
                based on the average number of employees that 
                it is reasonably expected such employer will 
                employ on business days in the current year.
                  (C) Growing employers retain treatment as 
                small employer.--
                          (i) In general.--If--
                                  (I) an employer was an 
                                eligible employer for any year 
                                (a ``qualified year''), and
                                  (II) such employer 
                                establishes a simple cafeteria 
                                plan for its employees for such 
                                year,
                        then, notwithstanding the fact the 
                        employer fails to meet the requirements 
                        of subparagraph (A) for any subsequent 
                        year, such employer shall be treated as 
                        an eligible employer for such 
                        subsequent year with respect to 
                        employees (whether or not employees 
                        during a qualified year) of any trade 
                        or business which was covered by the 
                        plan during any qualified year.
                          (ii) Exception.--This subparagraph 
                        shall cease to apply if the employer 
                        employs an average of 200 or more 
                        employees on business days during any 
                        year preceding any such subsequent 
                        year.
                  (D) Special rules.--
                          (i) Predecessors.--Any reference in 
                        this paragraph to an employer shall 
                        include a reference to any predecessor 
                        of such employer.
                          (ii) Aggregation rules.--All persons 
                        treated as a single employer under 
                        subsection (a) or (b) of section 52, or 
                        subsection (n) or (o) of section 414, 
                        shall be treated as one person.
          (6) Applicable nondiscrimination requirement.--For 
        purposes of this subsection, the term ``applicable 
        nondiscrimination requirement'' means any requirement 
        under subsection (b) of this section, section 79(d), 
        section 105(h), or paragraph (2), (3), (4), or (8) of 
        section 129(d).

                year).
                  (C) Marital status.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, marital status shall be determined

          (1) who is a dependent of such employee or of such 
        employee's spouse, or
          (2) who is a child of such employee (within the 
        meaning of [section 152(f)(1)] section 7706(f)(1)) 
        under the age of 19 at the close of such taxable year.
  (d) Dependent care assistance program.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this section a 
        dependent care assistance program is a separate written 
        plan of an employer for the exclusive benefit of his 
        employees to provide such employees with dependent care 
        assistance which meets the requirements of paragraphs 
        (2) through (8) of this subsection. If any plan would 
        qualify as a dependent care assistance program but for 
        a failure to meet the requirements of this subsection, 
        then, notwithstanding such failure, such plan shall be 
        treated as a dependent care assistance program in the 
        case of employees who are not highly compensated 
        employees.
          (2) Discrimination.--The contributions or benefits 
        provided under the plan shall not discriminate in favor 
        of employees who are highly compensated employees 
        (within the meaning of section 414(q)) or their 
        dependents.
          (3) Eligibility.--The program shall benefit employees 
        who qualify under a classification set up by the 
        employer and found by the Secretary not to be 
        discriminatory in favor of employees described in 
        paragraph (2), or their dependents.
          (4) Principal shareholders or owners.--Not more than 
        25 percent of the amounts paid or incurred by the 
        employer for dependent care assistance during the year 
        may be provided for the class of individuals who are 
        shareholders or owners (or their spouses or 
        dependents), each of whom (on any day of the year) owns 
        more than 5 percent of the stock or of the capital or 
        profits interest in the employer.

        notification of the availability and terms of the 
        program shall be provided to eligible employees.
          (7) Statement of expenses.--The plan shall furnish to 
        an employee, on or before January 31, a written 
        statement showing the amounts paid or expenses incurred

        to such employee during the previous calendar year.
          (8) Benefits.--
                  (A) In general.--A plan meets the 
                requirements of this paragraph if the average 
                benefits provided to employees who are not 
                highly compensated employees under all plans of 
                the employer is at least 55 percent of the 
                average benefits provided to highly compensated 
                employees under all plans of the employer.
                  (B) Salary reduction agreements.--For 
                purposes of subparagraph (A), in the case of 
                any benefits provided through a salary 
                reduction agreement, a plan may disregard any 
                employees whose compensation is less than 
                $25,000. For purposes of this subparagraph, the 
                term ``compensation'' has the meaning given 
                such term by section 414(q)(4), except that, 
                under rules prescribed by the Secretary, an 
                employer may elect to determine compensation on 
                any other basis which does not discriminate in 
                favor of highly compensated employees.
          (9) Excluded employees.--For purposes of paragraphs 
        (3) and (8), there shall be excluded from 
        consideration--

                section 410(b)(4), employees who have not 
                attained the age of 21 and completed 1 year of 
                service (as defined in section 410(a)(3)), and
                  (B) employees not included in a dependent 
                care assistance program who are included in a 
                unit of employees covered by an agreement which 
                the Secretary finds to be a collective 
                bargaining agreement between employee 
                representatives and 1 or more employees, if 
                there is evidence that dependent care benefits 
                were the subject of good faith bargaining 
                between such employee representatives and such 
                employer or employers.

section--
          (1) Dependent care assistance.--The term ``dependent 
        care assistance'' means the payment of, or provision

        and dependent care services necessary for gainful 
        employment).
          (2) Earned income.--The term ``earned income'' shall 
        have the meaning given such term in section 32(c)(2), 
        but such term shall not include any amounts paid or 
        incurred by an employer for dependent care assistance 
        to an employee.
          (3) Employee.--The term ``employee'' includes, for 
        any year, an individual who is an employee within the 
        meaning of section 401(c)(1) (relating to self-employed 
        individuals).
          (4) Employer.--An individual who owns the entire 
        interest in an unincorporated trade or business shall

                shall be based on principles similar to the 
                principles which apply in the case of 
                subparagraph (A).
          (6) Utilization test not applicable.--A dependent 
        care assistance program shall not be held or considered 
        to fail to meet any requirements of subsection (d) 
        (other than paragraphs (4) and (8) thereof) merely 
        because of utilization rates for the different types of

        service provider.--No amount paid or incurred by an 
        employer for dependent care assistance provided to an 
        employee shall be excluded from the gross income of 
        such employee unless--
                  (A) the name, address, and taxpayer 
                identification number of the person performing 
                the services are included on the return to

        otherwise be includible in gross income of such

        allowed under subsection (a) for any payment (other

        directly or indirectly, to any person, if the payment 
        constitutes an illegal bribe, illegal kickback, or 
        other illegal payment under any law of the United 
        States, or under any law of a State (but only if such 
        State law is generally enforced), which subjects the 
        payor to a criminal penalty or the loss of license or 
        privilege to engage in a trade or business. For 
        purposes of this paragraph, a kickback includes a 
        payment in consideration of the referral of a client, 
        patient, or customer. The burden of proof in respect of 
        the issue, for purposes of this paragraph, as to 
        whether a payment constitutes an illegal bribe, illegal 
        kickback, or other illegal payment shall be upon the 
        Secretary to the same extent as he bears the burden of 
        proof under section 7454 (concerning the burden of 
        proof when the issue relates to fraud).

        payment is or may be made under the Social Security 
        Act, or in whole or in part out of Federal funds under 
        a State plan approved under such Act, if such kickback, 
        rebate, or bribe is made in connection with the 
        furnishing of such items or services or the making or 
        receipt of such payments. For purposes of this 
        paragraph, a kickback includes a payment in 
        consideration of the referral of a client, patient, or 
        customer.

Association.--For purposes of this subtitle, whenever the 
amount of capital contributions evidenced by a share of stock 
issued pursuant to section 303(c) of the Federal National 
Mortgage Association Charter Act (12 U.S.C., sec. 1718) exceeds

                public, or segments thereof, with respect to 
                elections, legislative matters, or referendums, 
                or
                  (D) any direct communication with a covered 
                executive branch official in an attempt to 
                influence the official actions or positions of 
                such official.
          (2) Application to dues of tax-exempt 
        organizations.--No deduction shall be allowed under

                4911(e)(2).
          (4) Other special rules.--

                        restitution for failure to pay any tax

                        manner as if such amount were such tax,

        of the antitrust laws which occurred prior to the date

                section 4985 directly or indirectly by the 
                expatriated corporation (as defined in such

                fail to be applicable employee remuneration

                        employer for any applicable taxable

                        a covered executive with respect to 
                        such employer for all subsequent 
                        applicable taxable years and for all 
                        subsequent taxable years in which 
                        deferred deduction executive 
                        remuneration with respect to services 
                        performed in all such applicable

                remuneration'' means the applicable employee

                determined under paragraph (4) without regard

                not include any deferred deduction executive 
                remuneration with respect to services performed 
                in a prior applicable taxable year.
                  (F) Deferred deduction executive

                be executive remuneration for services 
                performed in an applicable taxable year but for 
                the fact that the deduction under this chapter 
                (determined without regard to this paragraph) 
                for such remuneration is allowable in a 
                subsequent taxable year.

                Stabilization Act of 2008, including the extent 
                to which this paragraph applies in the case of 
                any acquisition, merger, or reorganization of

                                year if this clause were

                  (A) except as provided in subparagraphs (B)

                reimbursement is not through such a plan,
                  (B) in the case of any reimbursement through 
                a health maintenance organization, at the same 
                rate as health maintenance organizations are 
                required to reimburse hospitals for such 
                services for individuals not covered by such a 
                plan (determined without regard to any 
                government-supported individuals exempt from 
                such rate), or
                  (C) in the case of any reimbursement through

        of Federal law) to reimburse at the rates provided in 
        paragraph (1).
          (3) Group health plan.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``group health plan'' means a plan

        any former employee, the employer, or any other

        rural route and who receives qualified reimbursements 
        for the expenses incurred by such employee for the use 
        of a vehicle in performing such services--
                  (A) the amount allowable as a deduction under 
                this chapter for the use of a vehicle in 
                performing such services shall be equal to the 
                amount of such qualified reimbursements; and
                  (B) such qualified reimbursements shall be 
                treated as paid under a reimbursement or other 
                expense allowance arrangement for purposes of 
                section 62(a)(2)(A) (and section 62(c) shall 
                not apply to such qualified reimbursements).
          (2) Special rule where expenses exceed 
        reimbursements.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(A), if 
        the expenses incurred by an employee for the use of a 
        vehicle in performing services described in paragraph 
        (1) exceed the qualified reimbursements for such 
        expenses, such excess shall be taken into account in 
        computing the miscellaneous itemized deductions of the 
        employee under section 67.
          (3) Definition of qualified reimbursements.--For

        maintenance allowance under the 1991 collective 
        bargaining agreement between the United States Postal 
        Service and the National Rural Letter Carriers' 
        Association. Amounts paid as an equipment maintenance 
        allowance by such Postal Service under later collective 
        bargaining agreements that supersede the 1991 agreement 
        shall be considered qualified reimbursements if such 
        amounts do not exceed the amounts that would have been 
        paid under the 1991 agreement, adjusted by increasing 
        any such amount under the 1991 agreement by an amount 
        equal to--
                  (A) such amount, multiplied by
                  (B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined 
                under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in

                2016'' in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof.
  (p) Treatment of expenses of members of reserve component of 
Armed Forces of the United States.--For purposes of subsection 
(a)(2), in the case of an individual who performs services as a 
member of a reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United 
States at any time during the taxable year, such individual 
shall be deemed to be away from home in the pursuit of a trade

                cooperative housing corporation (as so defined) 
                shall be treated as secured by the house or 
                apartment which the taxpayer is entitled to 
                occupy as such a tenant-stockholder. If stock 
                described in the preceding sentence may not be 
                used to secure indebtedness, indebtedness shall 
                be treated as so secured if the taxpayer 
                establishes to the satisfaction of the

                Indebtedness shall not fail to be treated as 
                secured by any property solely because, under

                other debtor protection law in effect on August 
                16, 1986, the security interest is ineffective

                is restricted.
                  (D) Special rules for estates and trusts.--
                For purposes of determining whether any 
                interest paid or accrued by an estate or trust 
                is qualified residence interest, any residence 
                held by such estate or trust shall be treated 
                as a qualified residence of such estate or 
                trust if such estate or trust establishes that 
                such residence is a qualified residence of a 
                beneficiary who has a present interest in such 
                estate or trust or an interest in the residuary 
                of such estate or trust.

                        the Department of Veterans Affairs, the 
                        Federal Housing Administration, or the 
                        Rural Housing Service, and
                          (ii) private mortgage insurance (as 
                        defined by section 2 of the Homeowners 
                        Protection Act of 1998 (12 U.S.C. 
                        4901), as in effect on the date of the 
                        enactment of this subparagraph).
                  (F) Special rules for prepaid qualified 
                mortgage insurance.--Any amount paid by the 
                taxpayer for qualified mortgage insurance that 
                is properly allocable to any mortgage the 
                payment of which extends to periods that are 
                after the close of the taxable year in which 
                such amount is paid shall be chargeable to 
                capital account and shall be treated as paid in 
                such periods to which so allocated. No 
                deduction shall be allowed for the unamortized 
                balance of such account if such mortgage is 
                satisfied before the end of its term. The 
                preceding sentences shall not apply to amounts 
                paid for qualified mortgage insurance provided 
                by the Department of Veterans Affairs or the 
                Rural Housing Service.
  (i) Applicable high yield discount obligation.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the 
        term ``applicable high yield discount obligation'' 
        means any debt instrument if--
                  (A) the maturity date of such instrument is 
                more than 5 years from the date of issue,
                  (B) the yield to maturity on such instrument 
                equals or exceeds the sum of--
                          (i) the applicable Federal rate in 
                        effect under section 1274(d) for the 
                        calendar month in which the obligation 
                        is issued, plus
                          (ii) 5 percentage points, and (C) 
                        such instrument has significant 
                        original issue discount.
        For purposes of subparagraph (B)(i), the Secretary may 
        by regulation (i) permit a rate to be used with respect 
        to any debt instrument which is higher than the 
        applicable Federal rate if the taxpayer establishes to 
        the satisfaction of the Secretary that such higher rate 
        is based on the same principles as the applicable 
        Federal rate and is appropriate for the term of the 
        instrument, or (ii) permit, on a temporary basis, a 
        rate to be used with respect to any debt instrument 
        which is higher than the applicable Federal rate if the 
        Secretary determines that such rate is appropriate in 
        light of distressed conditions in the debt capital 
        markets.
          (2) Significant original issue discount.--For 
        purposes of paragraph (1)(C), a debt instrument shall 
        be treated as having significant original issue 
        discount if--
                  (A) the aggregate amount which would be 
                includible in gross income with respect to such 
                instrument for periods before the close of any 
                accrual period (as defined in section 
                1272(a)(5)) ending after the date 5 years after 
                the date of issue, exceeds--
                  (B) the sum of--
                          (i) the aggregate amount of interest 
                        to be paid under the instrument before 
                        the close of such accrual period, and
                          (ii) the product of the issue price 
                        of such instrument (as defined in 
                        sections 1273(b) and 1274(a)) and its 
                        yield to maturity.
          (3) Special rules.--For purposes of determining 
        whether a debt instrument is an applicable high yield 
        discount obligation--
                  (A) any payment under the instrument shall be 
                assumed to be made on the last day permitted 
                under the instrument, and
                  (B) any payment to be made in the form of 
                another obligation of the issuer (or a related 
                person within the meaning of section 453(f)(1)) 
                shall be assumed to be made when such 
                obligation is required to be paid in cash or in 
                property other than such obligation.
        Except for purposes of paragraph (1)(B), any reference 
        to an obligation in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph 
        shall be treated as including a reference to stock.
          (4) Debt instrument.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``debt instrument'' means any 
        instrument which is a debt instrument as defined in 
        section 1275(a).
          (5) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
        regulations as may be appropriate to carry out the 
        purposes of this subsection and subsection (e)(5), 
        including--
                  (A) regulations providing for modifications 
                to the provisions of this subsection and 
                subsection (e)(5) in the case of varying rates 
                of interest, put or call options, indefinite 
                maturities, contingent payments, assumptions of 
                debt instruments, conversion rights, or other 
                circumstances where such modifications are 
                appropriate to carry out the purposes of this 
                subsection and subsection (e)(5), and
                  (B) regulations to prevent avoidance of the 
                purposes of this subsection and subsection 
                (e)(5) through the use of issuers other than C 
                corporations, agreements to borrow amounts due 
                under the debt instrument, or other

                taxpayer for such taxable year,
                  (B) 30 percent of the adjusted taxable income 
                of such taxpayer for such taxable year, plus
                  (C) the floor plan financing interest of such 
                taxpayer for such taxable year.
        The amount determined under subparagraph (B) shall not 
        be less than zero.
          (2) Carryforward of disallowed business interest.--
        The amount of any business interest not allowed as a 
        deduction for any taxable year by reason of paragraph 
        (1) shall be treated as business interest paid or 
        accrued in the succeeding taxable year.
          (3) Exemption for certain small businesses.--In the 
        case of any taxpayer (other than a tax shelter 
        prohibited from using the cash receipts and 
        disbursements method of accounting under section 
        448(a)(3)) which meets the gross receipts test of 
        section 448(c) for any taxable year, paragraph (1) 
        shall not apply to such taxpayer for such taxable year. 
        In the case of any taxpayer which is not a corporation 
        or a partnership, the gross receipts test of section

                        at the partnership level and any 
                        deduction for business interest shall 
                        be taken into account in determining 
                        the non- separately stated taxable 
                        income or loss of the partnership, and
                          (ii) the adjusted taxable income of 
                        each partner of such partnership--
                                  (I) shall be determined

                business use the alternative depreciation 
                system, see section 168(g)(1)(G).
  (k) Section 6166 interest.--No deduction shall be allowed 
under this section for any interest payable under section 6601 
on any unpaid portion of the tax imposed by section 2001 for 
the period during which an extension of time for payment of 
such tax is in effect under section 6166.
  (l) Disallowance of deduction on certain debt instruments of 
corporations.--
          (1) In general.--No deduction shall be allowed under 
        this chapter for any interest paid or accrued on a 
        disqualified debt instrument.
          (2) Disqualified debt instrument.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``disqualified debt 
        instrument'' means any indebtedness of a corporation 
        which is payable in equity of the issuer or a related 
        party or equity held by the issuer (or any related 
        party) in any other person.
          (3) Special rules for amounts payable in equity.--For 
        purposes of paragraph (2), indebtedness shall be 
        treated as payable in equity of the issuer or any other 
        person only if--
                  (A) a substantial amount of the principal or 
                interest is required to be paid or converted, 
                or at the option of the issuer or a related 
                party is payable in, or convertible into, such 
                equity,
                  (B) a substantial amount of the principal or 
                interest is required to be determined, or at 
                the option of the issuer or a related party is 
                determined, by reference to the value of such 
                equity, or
                  (C) the indebtedness is part of an 
                arrangement which is reasonably expected to 
                result in a transaction described in 
                subparagraph (A) or (B).
        For purposes of this paragraph, principal or interest 
        shall be treated as required to be so paid, converted, 
        or determined if it may be required at the option of 
        the holder or a related party and there is a 
        substantial certainty the option will be exercised.
          (4) Capitalization allowed with respect to equity of 
        persons other than issuer and related parties.--If the 
        disqualified debt instrument of a corporation is 
        payable in equity held by the issuer (or any related 
        party) in any other person (other than a related 
        party), the basis of such equity shall be increased by 
        the amount not allowed as a deduction by reason of 
        paragraph (1) with respect to the instrument.
          (5) Exception for certain instruments issued by 
        dealers in securities.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``disqualified debt instrument'' 
        does not include indebtedness issued by a dealer in 
        securities (or a related party) which is payable in, or 
        by reference to, equity (other than equity of the 
        issuer or a related party) held by such dealer in its 
        capacity as a dealer in securities. For purposes of 
        this paragraph, the term ``dealer in securities'' has 
        the meaning given such term by section 475.
          (6) Related party.--For purposes of this subsection, 
        a person is a related party with respect to another 
        person if such person bears a relationship to such 
        other person described in section 267(b) or 707(b).
          (7) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
        regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry 
        out the purposes of this subsection, including 
        regulations preventing avoidance of this subsection 
        through the use of an issuer other than a corporation.
  (m) Interest on unpaid taxes attributable to nondisclosed 
reportable transactions.--No deduction shall be allowed under 
this chapter for any interest paid or accrued under section 
6601 on any underpayment of tax which is attributable to the 
portion of any reportable transaction understatement (as 
defined in section 6662A(b)) with respect to which the 
requirement of section 6664(d)(2)(A) is not met.

        connection with insurance, endowment, or annuity 
        contracts, see section 264.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any tax (not described 
in the first sentence of this subsection) which is paid or 
accrued by the taxpayer in connection with an acquisition or 
disposition of property shall be treated as part of the cost of 
the acquired property or, in the case of a disposition, as a 
reduction in the amount realized on the disposition.
  (b) Definitions and special rules.--For purposes of this 
section--
          (1) Personal property taxes.--The term ``personal 
        property tax'' means an ad valorem tax which is imposed 
        on an annual basis in respect of personal property.
          (2) State or local taxes.--A State or local tax 
        includes only a tax imposed by a State, a possession of

                income distributions is--
                          (i) the tax imposed by section 2601, 
                        and
                          (ii) any State tax described in 
                        section 2604 (as in effect before its 
                        repeal),
                but only to the extent such tax is imposed on a 
                transfer which is included in the gross income 
                of the distributee and to which section 666 
                does not apply.
                  (B) Special rule for tax paid before due 
                date.--Any tax referred to in subparagraph (A) 
                imposed with respect to a transfer occurring 
                during the taxable year of the distributee (or, 
                in the case of a taxable termination, the 
                trust) which is paid not later than the time 
                prescribed by law (including extensions) for 
                filing the return with respect to such transfer 
                shall be treated as having been paid on the 
                last day of the taxable year in which the 
                transfer was made.
          (5) General sales taxes.--For purposes of subsection 
        (a)--
                  (A) Election to deduct state and local sales 
                taxes in lieu of state and local income 
                taxes.--At the election of the taxpayer for the 
                taxable year, subsection (a) shall be applied--
                          (i) without regard to the reference 
                        to State and local income taxes, and
                          (ii) as if State and local general 
                        sales taxes were referred to in a 
                        paragraph thereof.
                  (B) Definition of general sales tax.--The 
                term ``general sales tax'' means a tax imposed 
                at one rate with respect to the sale at retail 
                of a broad range of classes of items.
                  (C) Special rules for food, etc..--In the 
                case of items of food, clothing, medical 
                supplies, and motor vehicles--
                          (i) the fact that the tax does not 
                        apply with respect to some or all of 
                        such items shall not be taken into 
                        account in determining whether the tax 
                        applies with respect to a broad range 
                        of classes of items, and
                          (ii) the fact that the rate of tax 
                        applicable with respect to some or all 
                        of such items is lower than the general 
                        rate of tax shall not be taken into 
                        account in determining whether the tax 
                        is imposed at one rate.
                  (D) Items taxed at different rates.--Except 
                in the case of a lower rate of tax applicable 
                with respect to an item described in 
                subparagraph (C), no deduction shall be allowed 
                under this paragraph for any general sales tax 
                imposed with respect to an item at a rate other 
                than the general rate of tax.
                  (E) Compensating use taxes.--A compensating 
                use tax with respect to an item shall be 
                treated as a general sales tax. For purposes of 
                the preceding sentence, the term ``compensating 
                use tax'' means, with respect to any item, a 
                tax which--
                          (i) is imposed on the use, storage, 
                        or consumption of such item, and
                          (ii) is complementary to a general 
                        sales tax, but only if a deduction is 
                        allowable under this paragraph with 
                        respect to items sold at retail in the 
                        taxing jurisdiction which are similar 
                        to such item.
                  (F) Special rule for motor vehicles.--In the 
                case of motor vehicles, if the rate of tax 
                exceeds the general rate, such excess shall be 
                disregarded and the general rate shall be 
                treated as the rate of tax.
                  (G) Separately stated general sales taxes.--
                If the amount of any general sales tax is 
                separately stated, then, to the extent that the 
                amount so stated is paid by the consumer (other 
                than in connection with the consumer's trade or 
                business) to the seller, such amount shall be 
                treated as a tax imposed on, and paid by, such 
                consumer.
                  (H) Amount of deduction may be determined 
                under tables.--
                          (i) In general.--At the election of 
                        the taxpayer for the taxable year, the 
                        amount of the deduction allowed under 
                        this paragraph for such year shall be--
                                  (I) the amount determined 
                                under this paragraph (without 
                                regard to this subparagraph) 
                                with respect to motor vehicles, 
                                boats, and other items 
                                specified by the Secretary, and
                                  (II) the amount determined 
                                under tables prescribed by the 
                                Secretary with respect to items 
                                to which subclause (I) does not 
                                apply.
                          (ii) Requirements for tables.--The 
                        tables prescribed under clause (i)--
                                  (I) shall reflect the 
                                provisions of this paragraph,
                                  (II) shall be based on the 
                                average consumption by 
                                taxpayers on a State-by-State 
                                basis (as determined by the 
                                Secretary) of items to which 
                                clause (i)(I) does not apply, 
                                taking into account filing 
                                status, number of dependents, 
                                adjusted gross income, and 
                                rates of State and local 
                                general sales taxation, and
                                  (III) need only be determined 
                                with respect to adjusted gross 
                                incomes up to the applicable 
                                amount [(as determined under 
                                section 68(b))].
                          (iii) Applicable amount defined.--For 
                        purposes of clause (ii), the term 
                        ``applicable amount'' means--
                                  (I) $300,000 in the case of a 
                                joint return or a surviving 
                                spouse,
                                  (II) $275,000 in the case of 
                                a head of household,
                                  (III) $250,000 in the case of 
                                an individual who is not 
                                married and who is not a 
                                surviving spouse or head of 
                                household, and
                                  (IV) 1/2 the amount 
                                applicable under subclause (I) 
                                in the case of a married 
                                individual filing a separate 
                                return.
                        For purposes of this paragraph, marital 
                        status shall be determined under 
                        section 7703. In the case of any 
                        taxable year beginning in calendar 
                        years after 2017, each of the dollar 
                        amounts in this clause shall be 
                        increased by an amount equal to such 
                        dollar amount, multiplied by the cost-
                        of-living adjustment determined under 
                        section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year 
                        in which the taxable year begins, 
                        determined by substituting ``2012'' for 
                        ``2016'' in subparagraph (A)(ii) 
                        thereof. If any amount after adjustment 
                        under the preceding sentence is not a 
                        multiple of $50, such amount shall be 
                        rounded to the next lowest multiple of 
                        $50.
          [(6) Limitation on individual deductions for taxable 
        years 2018 through 2025.--In the case of an individual 
        and a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, 
        and before January 1, 2026--
                  [(A) foreign real property taxes shall not be 
                taken into account under subsection (a)(1), and
                  [(B) the aggregate amount of taxes taken into 
                account under paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of 
                subsection (a) and paragraph (5) of this 
                subsection for any taxable year shall not 
                exceed $10,000 ($5,000 in the case of a married 
                individual filing a separate return).]
          (6) Limitation on individual deductions.--In the case 
        of an individual--
                  (A) no deduction shall be allowed under this 
                chapter for foreign real property taxes paid or 
                accrued during the taxable year, and
                  (B) the aggregate amount of the deduction 
                allowed under this chapter for taxes described 
                in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection 
                (a) and paragraph (5) of this subsection paid 
                or accrued by the taxpayer during the taxable 
                year shall not exceed $10,000 ($5,000 in the 
                case of a married individual filing a separate 
                return).
        The preceding sentence shall not apply to any foreign 
        taxes described in subsection (a)(3) or to any taxes 
        described in paragraph (1) and (2) of subsection (a) 
        which are paid or accrued in carrying on a trade or 
        business or an activity described in section 212. For 
        purposes of subparagraph (B), an amount paid in a 
        taxable year beginning before January 1, 2018, with 
        respect to a State or local income tax imposed for a 
        taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, shall 
        be treated as paid on the last day of the taxable year 
        for which such tax is so imposed.
  (c) Deduction denied in case of certain taxes.--No deduction 
shall be allowed for the following taxes:
          (1) Taxes assessed against local benefits of a kind 
        tending to increase the value of the property assessed; 
        but this paragraph shall not prevent the deduction of 
        so much of such taxes as is properly allocable to 
        maintenance or interest charges.
          (2) Taxes on real property, to the extent that 
        subsection (d) requires such taxes to be treated as 
        imposed on another taxpayer.
  (d) Apportionment of taxes on real property between seller 
and purchaser.--
          (1) General rule.--For purposes of subsection (a), if 
        real property is sold during any real property tax 
        year, then--
                  (A) so much of the real property tax as is 
                properly allocable to that part of such year 
                which ends on the day before the date of the 
                sale shall be treated as a tax imposed on the 
                seller, and
                  (B) so much of such tax as is properly 
                allocable to that part of such year which 
                begins on the date of the sale shall be treated 
                as a tax imposed on the purchaser.
          (2) Special rules.--
                  (A) in the case of any sale of real property, 
                if--
                          (i) a taxpayer may not, by reason of 
                        his method of accounting, deduct any 
                        amount for taxes unless paid, and
                          (ii) the other party to the sale is 
                        (under the law imposing the real 
                        property tax) liable for the real 
                        property tax for the real property tax 
                        year,
                then for purposes of subsection (a) the 
                taxpayer shall be treated as having paid, on 
                the date of the sale, so much of such tax as, 
                under paragraph (1) of this subsection, is 
                treated as imposed on the taxpayer. For 
                purposes of the preceding sentence, if neither 
                party is liable for the tax, then the party 
                holding the property at the time the tax 
                becomes a lien on the property shall be 
                considered liable for the real property tax for 
                the real property tax year.
                  (B) In the case of any sale of real property, 
                if the taxpayer's taxable income for the 
                taxable year during which the sale occurs is 
                computed under an accrual method of accounting, 
                and if no election under section 461(c) 
                (relating to the accrual of real property 
                taxes) applies, then, for purposes of 
                subsection (a), that portion of such tax 
                which--
                          (i) is treated, under paragraph (1) 
                        of this subsection, as imposed on the 
                        taxpayer, and
                          (ii) may not, by reason of the 
                        taxpayer's method of accounting, be 
                        deducted by the taxpayer for any 
                        taxable year,
                shall be treated as having accrued on the date 
                of the sale.
  (e) Taxes of shareholder paid by corporation.--Where a 
corporation pays a tax imposed on a shareholder on his interest 
as a shareholder, and where the shareholder does not reimburse 
the corporation, then--
          (1) the deduction allowed by subsection (a) shall be 
        allowed to the corporation; and
          (2) no deduction shall be allowed the shareholder for 
        such tax.
  (f) Deduction for one-half of self-employment taxes.--
          (1) In general.--In the case of an individual, in 
        addition to the taxes described in subsection (a), 
        there shall be allowed as a deduction for the taxable 
        year an amount equal to one-half of the taxes imposed 
        by section 1401 (other than the taxes imposed by 
        section 1401(b)(2)) for such taxable year.
          (2) Deduction treated as attributable to trade or 
        business.--For purposes of this chapter, the deduction 
        allowed by paragraph (1) shall be treated as 
        attributable to a trade or business carried on by the 
        taxpayer which does not consist of the performance of 
        services by the taxpayer as an employee.
  (g) Cross references.--
          (1) For provisions disallowing any deduction for 
        certain taxes, see section 275.
          (2) For treatment of taxes imposed by Indian tribal 
        governments (or their subdivisions), see section 7871.

SEC. 165. LOSSES.

  (a) General rule.--There shall be allowed as a deduction any 
loss sustained during the taxable year and not compensated for 
by insurance or otherwise.
  (b) Amount of deduction.--For purposes of subsection (a), the 
basis for determining the amount of the deduction for any loss 
shall be the adjusted basis provided in section 1011 for 
determining the loss from the sale or other disposition of 
property.
  (c) Limitation on losses of individuals.--In the case of an 
individual, the deduction under subsection (a) shall be limited 
to--
          (1) losses incurred in a trade or business;
          (2) losses incurred in any transaction entered into 
        for profit, though not connected with a trade or 
        business; and
          (3) except as provided in subsection (h), losses of 
        property not connected with a trade or business or a 
        transaction entered into for profit, if such losses 
        arise from fire, storm, shipwreck, or other casualty, 
        or from theft.
  (d) Wagering losses.--Losses from wagering transactions shall 
be allowed only to the extent of the gains from such 
transactions. For purposes of the preceding sentence, [in the 
case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and 
before January 1, 2026,] the term ``losses from wagering 
transactions'' includes any deduction otherwise allowable under 
this chapter incurred in carrying on any wagering transaction.
  (e) Theft losses.--For purposes of subsection (a), any loss 
arising from theft shall be treated as sustained during the 
taxable year in which the taxpayer discovers such loss.
  (f) Capital losses.--Losses from sales or exchanges of 
capital assets shall be allowed only to the extent allowed in 
sections 1211 and 1212.
  (g) Worthless securities.--
          (1) General rule.--If any security which is a capital 
        asset becomes worthless during the taxable year, the 
        loss resulting therefrom shall, for purposes of this 
        subtitle, be treated as a loss from the sale or 
        exchange, on the last day of the taxable year, of a 
        capital asset.
          (2) Security defined.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``security'' means--
                  (A) a share of stock in a corporation;
                  (B) a right to subscribe for, or to receive, 
                a share of stock in a corporation; or
                  (C) a bond, debenture, note, or certificate, 
                or other evidence of indebtedness, issued by a 
                corporation or by a government or political 
                subdivision thereof, with interest coupons or 
                in registered form.
          (3) Securities in affiliated corporation.--For 
        purposes of paragraph (1), any security in a 
        corporation affiliated with a taxpayer which is a 
        domestic corporation shall not be treated as a capital 
        asset. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a 
        corporation shall be treated as affiliated with the 
        taxpayer only if--
                  (A) the taxpayer owns directly stock in such 
                corporation meeting the requirements of section 
                1504(a)(2), and
                  (B) more than 90 percent of the aggregate of 
                its gross receipts for all taxable years has 
                been from sources other than royalties, rents 
                (except rents derived from rental of properties 
                to employees of the corporation in the ordinary 
                course of its operating business), dividends, 
                interest (except interest received on deferred 
                purchase price of operating assets sold), 
                annuities, and gains from sales or exchanges of 
                stocks and securities.
        In computing gross receipts for purposes of the 
        preceding sentence, gross receipts from sales or 
        exchanges of stocks and securities shall be taken into 
        account only to the extent of gains therefrom.
  (h) Treatment of casualty gains and losses.--
          (1) Dollar limitation per casualty.--Any loss of an 
        individual described in subsection (c)(3) shall be 
        allowed only to the extent that the amount of the loss 
        to such individual arising from each casualty, or from 
        each theft, exceeds $500 ($100 for taxable years 
        beginning after December 31, 2009).
          (2) Net casualty loss allowed only to the extent it 
        exceeds 10 percent of adjusted gross income.--
                  (A) In general.--If the personal casualty 
                losses for any taxable year exceed the personal 
                casualty gains for such taxable year, such 
                losses shall be allowed for the taxable year 
                only to the extent of the sum of--
                          (i) the amount of the personal 
                        casualty gains for the taxable year, 
                        plus
                          (ii) so much of such excess as 
                        exceeds 10 percent of the adjusted 
                        gross income of the individual.
                  (B) Special rule where personal casualty 
                gains exceed personal casualty losses.--If the 
                personal casualty gains for any taxable year 
                exceed the personal casualty losses for such 
                taxable year--
                          (i) all such gains shall be treated 
                        as gains from sales or exchanges of 
                        capital assets, and
                          (ii) all such losses shall be treated 
                        as losses from sales or exchanges of 
                        capital assets.
          (3) Definitions of personal casualty gain and 
        personal casualty loss.--For purposes of this 
        subsection--
                  (A) Personal casualty gain.--The term 
                ``personal casualty gain'' means the recognized 
                gain from any involuntary conversion of 
                property which is described in subsection 
                (c)(3) arising from fire, storm, shipwreck, or 
                other casualty, or from theft.
                  (B) Personal casualty loss.--The term 
                ``personal casualty loss'' means any loss 
                described in subsection (c)(3). For purposes of 
                paragraph (2), the amount of any personal 
                casualty loss shall be determined after the 
                application of paragraph (1).
          (4) Special rules.--
                  (A) Personal casualty losses allowable in 
                computing adjusted gross income to the extent 
                of personal casualty gains.--In any case to 
                which paragraph (2)(A) applies, the deduction 
                for personal casualty losses for any taxable 
                year shall be treated as a deduction allowable 
                in computing adjusted gross income to the 
                extent such losses do not exceed the personal 
                casualty gains for the taxable year.
                  (B) Joint returns.--For purposes of this 
                subsection, a husband and wife making a joint 
                return for the taxable year shall be treated as 
                1 individual.
                  (C) Determination of adjusted gross income in 
                case of estates and trusts.--For purposes of 
                paragraph (2), the adjusted gross income of an 
                estate or trust shall be computed in the same 
                manner as in the case of an individual, except 
                that the deductions for costs paid or incurred 
                in connection with the administration of the 
                estate or trust shall be treated as allowable 
                in arriving at adjusted gross income.
                  (D) Coordination with estate tax.--No loss 
                described in subsection (c)(3) shall be allowed 
                if, at the time of filing the return, such loss 
                has been claimed for estate tax purposes in the 
                estate tax return.
                  (E) Claim required to be filed in certain 
                cases.--Any loss of an individual described in 
                subsection (c)(3) to the extent covered by 
                insurance shall be taken into account under 
                this section only if the individual files a 
                timely insurance claim with respect to such 
                loss.
          (5) Limitation [for taxable years 2018 through 2025] 
        to losses attributable to federally declared 
        disasters.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of an 
                individual, except as provided in subparagraph 
                (B), any personal casualty loss which (but for 
                this paragraph) would be deductible [in a 
                taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, 
                and before January 1, 2026,] shall be allowed 
                as a deduction under subsection (a) only to the 
                extent it is attributable to a Federally 
                declared disaster (as defined in subsection 
                (i)(5)).
                  (B) Exception related to personal casualty 
                gains.--If a taxpayer has personal casualty 
                gains [for any taxable year to which 
                subparagraph (A) applies]--
                          (i) subparagraph (A) shall not apply 
                        to the portion of the personal casualty 
                        loss not attributable to a Federally 
                        declared disaster (as so defined) to 
                        the extent such loss does not exceed 
                        such gains, and
                          (ii) in applying paragraph (2) for 
                        purposes of subparagraph (A) to the 
                        portion of personal casualty loss which 
                        is so attributable to such a disaster, 
                        the amount of personal casualty gains 
                        taken into account under paragraph 
                        (2)(A) shall be reduced by the portion 
                        of such gains taken into account under 
                        clause (i).
  (i) Disaster losses.--
          (1) Election to take deduction for preceding year.--
        Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), any 
        loss occurring in a disaster area and attributable to a 
        federally declared disaster may, at the election of the 
        taxpayer, be taken into account for the taxable year 
        immediately preceding the taxable year in which the 
        disaster occurred.
          (2) Year of loss.--If an election is made under this 
        subsection, the casualty resulting in the loss shall be 
        treated for purposes of this title as having occurred 
        in the taxable year for which the deduction is claimed.
          (3) Amount of loss.--The amount of the loss taken 
        into account in the preceding taxable year by reason of 
        paragraph (1) shall not exceed the uncompensated amount 
        determined on the basis of the facts existing at the 
        date the taxpayer claims the loss.
          (4) Use of disaster loan appraisals to establish 
        amount of loss.--Nothing in this title shall be 
        construed to prohibit the Secretary from prescribing 
        regulations or other guidance under which an appraisal 
        for the purpose of obtaining a loan of Federal funds or 
        a loan guarantee from the Federal Government as a 
        result of a federally declared disaster may be used to 
        establish the amount of any loss described in paragraph 
        (1) or (2).
          (5) Federally declared disasters.--For purposes of 
        this subsection--
                  (A) In general.--The term ``Federallydeclared 
                disaster'' means any disaster subsequently 
                determined by the President of the United 
                States to warrant assistance by the Federal 
                Government under the Robert T. Stafford 
                Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
                  (B) Disaster area.--The term ``disaster 
                area'' means the area so determined to warrant 
                such assistance.
  (j) Denial of deduction for losses on certain obligations not 
in registered form.--
          (1) In general.--Nothing in subsection (a) or in any 
        other provision of law shall be construed to provide a 
        deduction for any loss sustained on any registration-
        required obligation unless such obligation is in 
        registered form (or the issuance of such obligation was 
        subject to tax under section 4701).
          (2) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--

                                (G) as does not exceed 10 
                                percent of such contribution 
                                base, over
                                  (II) the amount of charitable 
                                contributions allowable under 
                                subparagraphs (A) and (G) 
                                (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)] (to which neither 
                subparagraph (A) nor (G) applies) 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.

                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 
                        paragraph (1) of section 509(a), of the 
                        income attributable to the donor's 
                        contribution to the fund and to direct 
                        (by deed or by will) the payment, to an 
                        organization described in such 
                        paragraph (1), of the corpus in the 
                        common fund attributable to the donor's 
                        contribution; but this clause shall 
                        apply only if all of the income of the 
                        common fund is required to be (and is) 
                        distributed to one or more 
                        organizations described in such 
                        paragraph (1) not later than the 15th 
                        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 
                        of the corpus attributable to any 
                        donor's contribution to the fund is 
                        required to be (and is) distributed to 
                        one or more of such organizations not 
                        later than one year after his death or 
                        after the death of his surviving spouse

                        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) 
                                which is sold, exchanged, or 
                                otherwise disposed of by the 
                                donee before the last day of 
                                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 
                                apparently wholesome food.

                        amount of such contributions for any 
                        taxable year which may be taken into 
                        account under this section shall not 
                        exceed--
                                  (I) in the case of any 
                                taxpayer other than a C 
                                corporation, 15 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, and

                                taxable income (as defined in

                          (iii) Rules related to limitation.--
                                  (I) Carryover.--If such

                                limitation imposed under clause 
                                (ii), such excess shall be 
                                treated (in a manner consistent 
                                with the rules of subsection 
                                (d)) as a charitable

                                In the case of any charitable 
                                contribution which is allowable 
                                after the application of clause 
                                (ii)(II), subsection (b)(2)(A) 
                                shall not apply to such 
                                contribution, but the 
                                limitation imposed by such 
                                subsection shall be reduced 
                                (but not below zero) by the 
                                aggregate amount of such

                                  (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.

                        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 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

                                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).

                        property the use of which is identified

                                501, and

                                impossible or infeasible to 
                                implement.
  (f) Disallowance of deduction in certain cases and special 
rules.--
          (1) In general.--No deduction shall be allowed under

        organization or trust described in section 508(d) or 
        4948(c)(4) subject to the conditions specified in such 
        sections.

                  (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) 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).
                  (E) Exception for certain contracts held by 
                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 
                        contract, and
                          (ii) such trust is entitled to all 
                        the payments under such contract.

                          (i) In general.--There is hereby 
                        imposed on any organization described 
                        in subsection (c) an excise tax equal 
                        to the premiums paid by such 
                        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 
                        by any other person pursuant to an 
                        understanding or expectation referred 
                        to in subparagraph (A) shall be treated 
                        as made by the organization.
                          (iii) Reporting.--Any organization on 
                        which tax is imposed by clause (i) with

                                premiums paid during the year 
                                and the name and TIN of each 
                                beneficiary under the contract 
                                to which the premium relates, 
                                and
                                  (II) such other information 
                                as the Secretary may require.
                        The penalties applicable to returns 
                        required under section 6033 shall apply 
                        to returns required under this clause. 
                        Returns required under this clause 
                        shall be furnished at such time and in 
                        such manner as the Secretary shall by 
                        forms or regulations require.
                          (iv) Certain rules to apply.--The tax 
                        imposed by this subparagraph shall be 
                        treated as imposed by chapter 42 for 
                        purposes of this title other than 
                        subchapter B of chapter 42.
                  (G) Special rule where state requires 
                specification of charitable gift annuitant in 
                contract.--In the case of an obligation to pay 
                a charitable gift annuity referred to in 
                subparagraph (D) which is entered into under 
                the laws of a State which requires, in order 
                for the charitable gift annuity to be exempt 
                from insurance regulation by such State, that 
                each beneficiary under the charitable gift 
                annuity be named as a beneficiary under an 
                annuity contract issued by an insurance company 
                authorized to transact business in such State, 
                the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of 
                subparagraph (D) shall be treated as met if--
                          (i) such State law requirement was in 
                        effect on February 8, 1999,
                          (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

                        have such clause apply to such loss

                        such manner as prescribed by the 
                        Secretary and shall be made by the due 
                        date (including extensions of time) for 
                        filing the taxpayer's return for the 
                        taxable year of the net operating loss. 
                        Such election, once made for any 
                        taxable year, shall be irrevocable for

                816(a)) other than a life insurance company, 
                the net operating loss for any taxable year--
                          (i) shall be a net operating loss 
                        carryback to each of the 2 taxable 
                        years preceding the taxable year of 
                        such loss, and
                          (ii) shall be a net operating loss 
                        carryover to each of the 20 taxable 
                        years following the taxable year of the 
                        loss.
          (2) Amount of carrybacks and carryovers.--The entire 
        amount of the net operating loss for any taxable year 
        (hereinafter in this section referred to as the ``loss 
        year'') shall be carried to the earliest of the taxable 
        years to which (by reason of paragraph (1)) such loss 
        may be carried. The portion of such loss which shall be 
        carried to each of the other taxable years shall be the 
        excess, if any, of the amount of such loss over the sum 
        of the taxable income for each of the prior taxable 
        years to which such loss may be carried. For purposes 
        of the preceding sentence, the taxable income for any 
        such prior taxable year shall--
                  (A) be computed with the modifications 
                specified in subsection (d) other than 
                paragraphs (1), (4), and (5) thereof, and by 
                determining the amount of the net operating 
                loss deduction without regard to the net 
                operating loss for the loss year or for any 
                taxable year thereafter,
                  (B) not be considered to be less than zero, 
                and
                  (C) not exceed the amount determined under 
                subsection (a)(2) for such prior taxable year.
          (3) Election to waive carryback.--Any taxpayer 
        entitled to a carryback period under paragraph (1) may 
        elect to relinquish the entire carryback period with 
        respect to a net operating loss for any taxable year. 
        Such election shall be made in such manner as may be 
        prescribed by the Secretary, and shall be made by the 
        due date (including extensions of time) for filing the 
        taxpayer's return for the taxable year of the net 
        operating loss for which the election is to be in 
        effect. Such election, once made for any taxable year, 
        shall be irrevocable for such taxable year.
  (c) Net operating loss defined.--For purposes of this 
section, the term ``net operating loss'' means the excess of 
the deductions allowed by this chapter over the gross income. 
Such excess shall be computed with the modifications specified 
in subsection (d).
  (d) Modifications.--The modifications referred to in this 
section are as follows:
          (1) Net operating loss deduction.--No net operating 
        loss deduction shall be allowed.

                losses from sales or exchanges of capital 
                assets shall not exceed the amount includable 
                on account of gains from sales or exchanges of 
                capital assets; and
                  (B) the exclusion provided by section 1202 
                shall not be allowed.

        business shall be allowed only to the extent of the 
        amount of the gross income not derived from such trade 
        or business. For purposes of the preceding sentence--
                  (A) any gain or loss from the sale or other 
                disposition of--
                          (i) property, used in the trade or

                        or
                          (ii) real property used in the trade 
                        or business, shall be treated as 
                        attributable to the trade or business;
                  (B) the modifications specified in paragraphs 
                (1), (2)(B), and (3) shall be taken into 
                account;
                  (C) any deduction for casualty or theft 
                losses allowable under paragraph (2) or (3) of 
                section 165(c) shall be treated as attributable 
                to the trade or business; and
                  (D) any deduction allowed under section 404 
                to the extent attributable to contributions 
                which are made on behalf of an individual who 
                is an employee within the meaning of section 
                401(c)(1) shall not be treated as attributable 
                to the trade or business of such individual.
          (5) Computation of deduction for dividends 
        received.--The deductions allowed by sections 243 
        (relating to dividends received by corporations) and 
        245 (relating to dividends received from certain 
        foreign corporations) shall be computed without regard 
        to section 246(b) (relating to limitation on aggregate 
        amount of deductions).
          (6) Modifications related to real estate investment 
        trusts.--In the case of any taxable year for which part 
        II of subchapter M (relating to real estate investment 
        trusts) applies to the taxpayer--
                  (A) the net operating loss for such taxable 
                year shall be computed by taking into account 
                the adjustments described in section 857(b)(2) 
                (other than the deduction for dividends paid 
                described in section 857(b)(2)(B));

                substituting ``real estate investment trust

                but without regard to the deduction for

                        the partner or shareholder level,
                          (ii) each partner or shareholder

                        qualified property of the partnership 
                        or S corporation for the taxable year

                        subparagraph, the W-2 wages of the

                production activities income'' for any taxable 
                year means an amount equal to the excess (if 
                any) of--

                purposes of determining qualified production 
                activities income. Such rules shall provide for 
                the proper allocation of items whether or not 
                such items are directly allocable to domestic 
                production gross receipts.
                  (C) Special rules for determining costs.--
                          (i) In general.--For purposes of 
                        determining costs under subclause (I) 
                        of subparagraph (A)(ii), any item or 
                        service brought into the United States 
                        shall be treated as acquired by 
                        purchase, and its cost shall be treated 
                        as not less than its value immediately 
                        after it entered the United States. A 
                        similar rule shall apply in determining 
                        the adjusted basis of leased or rented 
                        property where the lease or rental 
                        gives rise to domestic production gross 
                        receipts.
                          (ii) Exports for further 
                        manufacture.--In the case of any 
                        property described in clause (i) that 
                        had been exported by the taxpayer for 
                        further manufacture, the increase in 
                        cost or adjusted basis under clause (i) 
                        shall not exceed the difference between 
                        the value of the property when exported 
                        and the value of the property when 
                        brought back into the United States 
                        after the further manufacture.
                  (D) Domestic production gross receipts.--
                          (i) In general.--The term ``domestic 
                        production gross receipts'' means the

                        license, sale, exchange, or other 
                        disposition of any agricultural or 
                        horticultural product which was 
                        manufactured, produced, grown, or 
                        extracted by the taxpayer (determined 
                        after the application of paragraph 
                        (4)(B)) in whole or significant part 
                        within the United States. Such term

                        appropriate for purposes of this 
                        paragraph than the adjustment described 
                        in the preceding sentence, and the 
                        adjustment so prescribed shall apply in

                        failing to have a deductible for 
                        preventive care if the absence of a

          (3) Permitted insurance.--The term ``permitted 
        insurance'' means--
                  (A) insurance if substantially all of the

                during either of the 2 preceding calendar 
                years. For purposes of the preceding sentence, 
                a preceding calendar year may be taken into 
                account only if the employer was in existence 
                throughout such year.
                  (B) Employers not in existence in preceding 
                year.--In the case of an employer which was not 
                in existence throughout the 1st preceding 
                calendar year, the determination under 
                subparagraph (A) shall be based on the average 
                number of employees that it is reasonably 
                expected such employer will employ on business 
                days in the current calendar year.
                  (C) Certain growing employers retain

                employer'' includes, with respect to any 
                calendar year, any employer if--
                          (i) such employer met the requirement 
                        of subparagraph (A) (determined without 
                        regard to subparagraph (B)) for any 
                        preceding calendar year after 1996,
                          (ii) any amount was contributed to 
                        the Archer MSA of any employee of such 
                        employer with respect to coverage of 
                        such employee under a high deductible 
                        health plan of such employer during 
                        such preceding calendar year and such 
                        amount was excludable from gross income 
                        under section 106(b) or allowable as a 
                        deduction under this section, and
                          (iii) such employer employed an 
                        average of 200 or fewer employees on 
                        business days during each preceding 
                        calendar year after 1996.

                        this paragraph to an employer shall 
                        include a reference to any predecessor 
                        of such employer.

                        subsection (c)(2)(A)(ii) for such

                will administer the trust will be consistent 
                with the requirements of this section.
                  (C) No part of the trust assets will be

                  (C) Except as provided in section 106(b), 
                section 219(f)(5) (relating to employer

                accounts).
  (e) Tax treatment of accounts.--
          (1) In general.--An Archer MSA is exempt from 
        taxation under this subtitle unless such account has 
        ceased to be an Archer MSA. Notwithstanding the 
        preceding sentence, any such account is subject to the 
        taxes imposed by section 511 (relating to imposition of 
        tax on unrelated business income of charitable, etc. 
        organizations).
          (2) Account terminations.--Rules similar to the rules 
        of paragraphs (2) and (4) of section 408(e) shall apply 
        to Archer MSAs, and any amount treated as distributed 
        under such rules shall be treated as not used to pay 
        qualified medical expenses.
  (f) Tax Treatment of distributions.--
          (1) Amounts used for qualified medical expenses.--Any 
        amount paid or distributed out of an Archer MSA which 
        is used exclusively to pay qualified medical expenses 
        of any account holder shall not be includible in gross 
        income.
          (2) Inclusion of amounts not used for qualified 
        medical expenses.--Any amount paid or distributed out 
        of an Archer MSA which is not used exclusively to pay 
        the qualified medical expenses of the account holder 
        shall be included in the gross income of such holder.
          (3) Excess contributions returned before due date of 
        return.--
                  (A) In general.--If any excess contribution 
                is contributed for a taxable year to any Archer 
                MSA of an individual, paragraph (2) shall not 
                apply to distributions from the Archer MSAs of 
                such individual (to the extent such 
                distributions do not exceed the aggregate 
                excess contributions to all such accounts of 
                such individual for such year) if--
                          (i) such distribution is received by 
                        the individual on or before the last 
                        day prescribed by law (including 
                        extensions of time) for filing such 
                        individual's return for such taxable 
                        year, and
                          (ii) such distribution is accompanied 
                        by the amount of net income 
                        attributable to such excess 
                        contribution.
                Any net income described in clause (ii) shall 
                be included in the gross income of the 
                individual for the taxable year in which it is 
                received.
                  (B) Excess contribution.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``excess 
                contribution'' means any contribution (other 
                than a rollover contribution) which is neither 
                excludable from gross income under section 
                106(b) nor deductible under this section.
          (4) Additional tax on distributions not used for 
        qualified medical expenses.--
                  (A) In general.--The tax imposed by this 
                chapter on the account holder for any taxable 
                year in which there is a payment or 
                distribution from an Archer MSA of such holder 
                which is includible in gross income under 
                paragraph (2) shall be increased by 20 percent 
                of the amount which is so includible.
                  (B) Exception for disability or death.--
                Subparagraph (A) shall not apply if the payment 
                or distribution is made after the account 
                holder becomes disabled within the meaning of 
                section 72(m)(7) or dies.
                  (C) Exception for distributions after 
                medicare eligibility.--Subparagraph (A) shall 
                not apply to any payment or distribution after 
                the date on which the account holder attains 
                the age specified in section 1811 of the Social 
                Security Act.
          (5) Rollover contribution.--An amount is described in 
        this paragraph as a rollover contribution if it meets 
        the requirements of subparagraphs (A) and (B).
                  (A) In general.--Paragraph (2) shall not 
                apply to any amount paid or distributed from an 
                Archer MSA to the account holder to the extent 
                the amount received is paid into an Archer MSA 
                or a health savings account (as defined in 
                section 223(d)) for the benefit of such holder 
                not later than the 60th day after the day on 
                which the holder receives the payment or 
                distribution.
                  (B) Limitation.--This paragraph shall not 
                apply to any amount described in subparagraph 
                (A) received by an individual from an Archer 
                MSA if, at any time during the 1-year period 
                ending on the day of such receipt, such 
                individual received any other amount described 
                in subparagraph (A) from an Archer MSA which 
                was not includible in the individual's gross 
                income because of the application of this 
                paragraph.
          (6) Coordination with medical expense deduction.--For 
        purposes of determining the amount of the deduction 
        under section 213, any payment or distribution out of 
        an Archer MSA for qualified medical expenses shall not 
        be treated as an expense paid for medical care.
          (7) Transfer of account incident to divorce.--The 
        transfer of an individual's interest in an Archer MSA 
        to an individual's spouse or former spouse under a 
        divorce or separation instrument described in clause 
        (i) of section 121(d)(3)(C) shall not be considered a 
        taxable transfer made by such individual 
        notwithstanding any other provision of this subtitle, 
        and such interest shall, after such transfer, be 
        treated as an Archer MSA with respect to which such 
        spouse is the account holder.
          (8) Treatment after death of account holder.--
                  (A) Treatment if designated beneficiary is 
                spouse.--If the account holder's surviving 
                spouse acquires such holder's interest in an 
                Archer MSA by reason of being the designated 
                beneficiary of such account at the death of the 
                account holder, such Archer MSA shall be 
                treated as if the spouse were the account 
                holder.
                  (B) Other cases.--
                          (i) In general.--If, by reason of the 
                        death of the account holder, any person 
                        acquires the account holder's interest 
                        in an Archer MSA in a case to which 
                        subparagraph (A) does not apply--
                                  (I) such account shall cease 
                                to be an Archer MSA as of the 
                                date of death, and
                                  (II) an amount equal to the 
                                fair market value of the assets 
                                in such account on such date 
                                shall be includible if such 
                                person is not the estate of 
                                such holder, in such person's 
                                gross income for the taxable 
                                year which includes such date, 
                                or if such person is the estate 
                                of such holder, in such 
                                holder's gross income for the 
                                last taxable year of such 
                                holder.
                          (ii) Special rules.--

                                income under clause (i) by any 
                                person (other than the estate) 
                                shall be reduced by the amount 
                                of qualified medical expenses 
                                which were incurred by the 
                                decedent before the date of the 
                                decedent's death and paid by 
                                such person within 1 year after 
                                such date.

                                respect to amounts included in 
                                gross income under clause (i)

  (g) Cost-of-living adjustment.--In the case of any taxable 
year beginning in a calendar year after 1998, each dollar 
amount in subsection (c)(2) shall be increased by an amount 
equal to--
          (1) such dollar amount, multiplied by
          (2) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under 
        section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which such 
        taxable year begins by substituting ``calendar year 
        1997'' for ``calendar year 2016'' in subparagraph

                MSA participant for a taxable year ending after 
                the cut-off year by reason of coverage under a 
                high deductible health plan of an MSA-
                participating employer.
          (2) Cut-off year.--For purposes of paragraph (1), the

                as a deduction under this section, for such 
                taxable year.

                such employer each made a contribution of at 
                least $100 to their Archer MSAs for any taxable 
                year ending with or within the cut-off year 
                which was allowable as a deduction under this 
                section.
          (5) Additional eligibility after cut-off year.--If 
        the Secretary determines under subsection (j)(2)(A) 
        that the numerical limit for the calendar year 
        following a cut-off year described in paragraph (2)(B) 
        has not been exceeded--
                  (A) this subsection shall not apply to any 
                otherwise eligible individual who is covered 
                under a high deductible health plan during the 
                first 6 months of the second calendar year 
                following the cut-off year (and such individual 
                shall be treated as an active MSA participant 
                for purposes of this subsection if a 
                contribution is made to any Archer MSA with 
                respect to such coverage), and
                  (B) any employer who offers coverage under a 
                high deductible health plan to any employee 
                during such 6-month period shall be treated as 
                an MSA-participating employer for purposes of 
                this subsection if the requirements of 
                paragraph (4) are met with respect to such 
                coverage.
        For purposes of this paragraph, subsection (j)(2)(A) 
        shall be applied for 1998 by substituting ``750,000'' 
        for ``600,000''.
  (j) Determination of whether numerical limits are exceeded.--
          (1) Determination of whether limit exceeded for 
        1997.--The numerical limitation for 1997 is exceeded 
        if, based on the reports required under paragraph (4), 
        the number of Archer MSAs established as of--
                  (A) April 30, 1997, exceeds 375,000, or
                  (B) June 30, 1997, exceeds 525,000.

                1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, or 2006 is 
                exceeded if the sum of--
                          (i) the number of MSA returns filed 
                        on or before April 15 of such calendar 
                        year for taxable years ending with or 
                        within the preceding calendar year, 
                        plus
                          (ii) the Secretary's estimate 
                        (determined on the basis of the returns

                        of MSA returns for such taxable years 
                        which will be filed after such date,
                exceeds 750,000 (600,000 in the case of 1998).

                term ``MSA return'' means any return on which 
                any exclusion is claimed under section 106(b)

                2002, 2004, 2005, or 2006 is also exceeded if 
                the sum of--
                          (i) 90 percent of the sum determined 
                        under subparagraph (A) for such 
                        calendar year, plus
                          (ii) the product of 2.5 and the 
                        number of Archer MSAs established 
                        during the portion of such year 
                        preceding July 1 (based on the reports 
                        required under paragraph (4)) for 
                        taxable years beginning in such year,
                exceeds 750,000.

                any calendar year is a cut-off year shall be 
                made by not counting the Archer MSA of any 
                previously uninsured individual.
                  (B) Previously uninsured individual.--For 
                purposes of this subsection, the term 
                ``previously uninsured individual'' means, with 
                respect to any Archer MSA, any individual who 
                had no health plan coverage (other than 
                coverage referred to in subsection (c)(1)(B)) 
                at any time during the 6-month period before 
                the date such individual's coverage under the 
                high deductible health plan commences.
          (4) Reporting by MSA trustees.--
                  (A) In general.--Not later than August 1 of

                Secretary shall specify) which specifies--
                          (i) the number of Archer MSAs 
                        established before such July 1 (for 
                        taxable years beginning in such 
                        calendar year) of which such person is

                        substituting ``$25'' for ``$50'', and

                subparagraph (B).
                  (B) Amount of reduction.--The amount 
                determined under this subparagraph is the 
                amount which bears the same ratio to the amount 
                which would be so taken into account as--
                          (i) the excess of--
                                  (I) the taxpayer's modified 
                                adjusted gross income for such

                        deduction under section 151 with 
                        respect to such individual is allowed 
                        to another taxpayer for the taxable 
                        year beginning in the calendar year in 
                        which such individual's taxable year

  (d) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
          (1) Qualified education loan.--The term ``qualified 
        education loan'' means any indebtedness incurred by the 
        taxpayer solely to pay qualified higher education 
        expenses--
                  (A) which are incurred on behalf of the 
                taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, or any 
                dependent of the taxpayer as of the time the 
                indebtedness was incurred,
                  (B) which are paid or incurred within a 
                reasonable period of time before or after the

                  (C) which are attributable to education 
                furnished during a period during which the 
                recipient was an eligible student.
        Such term includes indebtedness used to refinance 
        indebtedness which qualifies as a qualified education 
        loan. The term ``qualified education loan'' shall not 
        include any indebtedness owed to a person who is 
        related (within the meaning of section 267(b) or 
        707(b)(1)) to the taxpayer or to any person by reason 
        of a loan under any qualified employer plan (as defined

        in section 72(p)(5).
          (2) Qualified higher education expenses.--The term 
        ``qualified higher education expenses'' means the cost

        on the day before the date of the enactment of the 
        Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997) at an eligible educational 
        institution, reduced by the sum of--
                  (A) the amount excluded from gross income 
                under section 127, 135, 529, or 530 by reason 
                of such expenses, and
                  (B) the amount of any scholarship, allowance, 
                or payment described in section 25A(g)(2).
        For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term 
        ``eligible educational institution'' has the same 
        meaning given such term by section 25A(f)(2), except 
        that such term shall also include an institution 
        conducting an internship or residency program leading 
        to a degree or certificate awarded by an institution of 
        higher education, a hospital, or a health care facility 
        which offers postgraduate training.

        (determined without regard to subsections (b)(1), 
        (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) thereof).
  (e) Special rules.--
          (1) Denial of double benefit.--No deduction shall be 
        allowed under this section for any amount for which a 
        deduction is allowable under any other provision of 
        this chapter.
          (2) Married couples must file joint return.--If the 
        taxpayer is married at the close of the taxable year, 
        the deduction shall be allowed under subsection (a) 
        only if the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse file a 
        joint return for the taxable year.
          (3) Marital status.--Marital status shall be 
        determined in accordance with section 7703.

        in subsection (b)(2) shall each be increased by an 
        amount equal to--
                  (A) such dollar amount, multiplied by
                  (B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined 
                under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in

                thereof.
          (2) Rounding.--If any amount as adjusted under 
        paragraph (1) is not a multiple of $5,000, such amount 
        shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of $5,000.

                dollar limit shall be equal to--
                          (i) in the case of a taxpayer whose 
                        adjusted gross income for the taxable 
                        year does not exceed $65,000 ($130,000

                        taxpayer, zero.
                  (B) After 2003.--In the case of any taxable 
                year beginning after 2003, the applicable

                          (ii) in the case of a taxpayer not 
                        described in clause (i) whose adjusted 
                        gross income for the taxable year does 
                        not exceed $80,000 ($160,000 in the

        savings account to an individual's spouse or former 
        spouse under a divorce or separation instrument

                        beneficiary's interest in a health 
                        savings account in a case to which 
                        subparagraph (A) does not apply--

        or recreation who is not an employee of the taxpayer as 
        compensation for services rendered or as a prize or 
        award under section 74. The preceding sentence shall 
        not apply to any amount paid or incurred by the 
        taxpayer if such amount is required to be included (or 
        would be so required except that the amount is less 
        than $600) in any information return filed by such

        active conduct of his trade or business and that, after

        regulations prescribed by the Secretary--

                activities taking place at such meeting,
                  (B) the purposes and activities of the

                be held, and
                  (D) such other relevant factors as the 
                taxpayer may present, it is as reasonable for

                        which may otherwise be subject to 
                        nondisclosure provisions of the local 
                        law of the beneficiary country such as 
                        provisions respecting bank secrecy and 
                        bearer shares. The exchange of

                        of appeals in respect of, taxes of the 
                        United States or the beneficiary 
                        country and will be used by such 
                        persons or authorities only for such 
                        purposes.

                        confidential information sought for 
                        civil tax purposes.--An exchange of 
                        information agreement need not provide 
                        for the exchange of qualified 
                        confidential information which is 
                        sought only for civil tax purposes if--

                                an agreement which includes the 
                                exchange of such information, 
                                determines that such an 
                                agreement cannot be negotiated 
                                but that the agreement which 
                                was negotiated will 
                                significantly assist in the 
                                administration and enforcement 
                                of the tax laws of the United 
                                States, and
                                  (II) the President determines 
                                that the agreement as 
                                negotiated is in the national 
                                security interest of the United

                        information defined.--For purposes of 
                        this subparagraph, the term ``qualified 
                        confidential information'' means 
                        information which is subject to the 
                        nondisclosure provisions of any local 
                        law of the beneficiary country 
                        regarding bank secrecy or ownership of 
                        bearer shares.
                          (iv) Civil tax purposes.--For 
                        purposes of this subparagraph, the

                        shall be made by the requesting party.

                exchange of information agreement negotiated 
                under subparagraph (C) shall be treated as an 
                income tax convention for purposes of section 
                6103(k)(4). The Secretary may exercise his 
                authority under subchapter A of chapter 78 to 
                carry out any obligation of the United States 
                under an agreement referred to in subparagraph

                        as a qualified plan award for any 
                        taxable year if the average cost of all 
                        employee achievement awards which are 
                        provided by the employer during the

                        awards but for this subparagraph, 
                        exceeds $400. For purposes of the 
                        preceding sentence, average cost shall 
                        be determined by including the entire 
                        cost of qualified plan awards, without

                        employer (excluding employees described 
                        in clause (ii)), or
                          (ii) such item is awarded to a

                        employee.
  (k) Business meals.--
          (1) In general.--No deduction shall be allowed under 
        this chapter for the expense of any food or beverages 
        unless--
                  (A) such expense is not lavish or extravagant

        such expense which would (but for this paragraph) be 
        allowable as a deduction under this chapter.

                        support camp which is in proximity and 
                        integral to such platform or rig, if 
                        the platform or rig is located in the

SEC. 401. QUALIFIED PENSION, PROFIT-SHARING, AND STOCK BONUS PLANS.

  (a) Requirements for qualification.--A trust created or 
organized in the United States and forming part of a stock 
bonus, pension, or profit-sharing plan of an employer for the 
exclusive benefit of his employees or their beneficiaries shall 
constitute a qualified trust under this section--
          (1) if contributions are made to the trust by such 
        employer, or employees, or both, or by another employer 
        who is entitled to deduct his contributions under 
        section 404(a)(3)(B) (relating to deduction for 
        contributions to profit-sharing and stock bonus plans), 
        or by a charitable remainder trust pursuant to a 
        qualified gratuitous transfer (as defined in section 
        664(g)(1)), for the purpose of distributing to such 
        employees or their beneficiaries the corpus and income 
        of the fund accumulated by the trust in accordance with 
        such plan;
          (2) if under the trust instrument it is impossible, 
        at any time prior to the satisfaction of all 
        liabilities with respect to employees and their 
        beneficiaries under the trust, for any part of the 
        corpus or income to be (within the taxable year or 
        thereafter) used for, or diverted to, purposes other 
        than for the exclusive benefit of his employees or 
        their beneficiaries (but this paragraph shall not be 
        construed, in the case of a multiemployer plan, to 
        prohibit the return of a contribution within 6 months 
        after the plan administrator determines that the 
        contribution was made by a mistake of fact or law 
        (other than a mistake relating to whether the plan is 
        described in section 401(a) or the trust which is part 
        of such plan is exempt from taxation under section 
        501(a), or the return of any withdrawal liability 
        payment determined to be an overpayment within 6 months 
        of such determination));
          (3) if the plan of which such trust is a part 
        satisfies the requirements of section 410 (relating to 
        minimum participation standards); and
          (4) if the contributions or benefits provided under 
        the plan do not discriminate in favor of highly 
        compensated employees (within the meaning of section 
        414(q)). For purposes of this paragraph, there shall be 
        excluded from consideration employees described in 
        section 410(b)(3)(A) and (C).
          (5) Special rules relating to nondiscrimination 
        requirements.--
                  (A) Salaried or clerical employees.--A 
                classification shall not be considered 
                discriminatory within the meaning of paragraph 
                (4) or section 410(b)(2)(A)(i) merely because 
                it is limited to salaried or clerical 
                employees.
                  (B) Contributions and benefits may bear 
                uniform relationship to compensation.--A plan 
                shall not be considered discriminatory within 
                the meaning of paragraph (4) merely because the 
                contributions or benefits of, or on behalf of, 
                the employees under the plan bear a uniform 
                relationship to the compensation (within the 
                meaning of section 414(s)) of such employees.
                  (C) Certain disparity permitted.--A plan 
                shall not be considered discriminatory within 
                the meaning of paragraph (4) merely because the 
                contributions or benefits of, or on behalf of, 
                the employees under the plan favor highly 
                compensated employees (as defined in section 
                414(q)) in the manner permitted under 
                subsection (l).
                  (D) Integrated defined benefit plan.--
                          (i) In general.--A defined benefit 
                        plan shall not be considered 
                        discriminatory within the meaning of 
                        paragraph (4) merely because the plan 
                        provides that the employer-derived 
                        accrued retirement benefit for any 
                        participant under the plan may not 
                        exceed the excess (if any) of--
                                  (I) the participant's final 
                                pay with the employer, over
                                  (II) the employer-derived 
                                retirement benefit created 
                                under Federal law attributable 
                                to service by the participant 
                                with the employer.
                        For purposes of this clause, the 
                        employer-derived retirement benefit 
                        created under Federal law shall be 
                        treated as accruing ratably over 35 
                        years.
                          (ii) Final pay.--For purposes of this 
                        subparagraph, the participant's final 
                        pay is the compensation (as defined in 
                        section 414(q)(4)) paid to the 
                        participant by the employer for any 
                        year--
                                  (I) which ends during the 5-
                                year period ending with the 
                                year in which the participant 
                                separated from service for the 
                                employer, and
                                  (II) for which the 
                                participant's total 
                                compensation from the employer 
                                was highest.
                  (E) 2 or more plans treated as single plan.--
                For purposes of determining whether 2 or more 
                plans of an employer satisfy the requirements 
                of paragraph (4) when considered as a single 
                plan--
                          (i) Contributions.--If the amount of 
                        contributions on behalf of the 
                        employees allowed as a deduction under 
                        section 404 for the taxable year with 
                        respect to such plans, taken together, 
                        bears a uniform relationship to the 
                        compensation (within the meaning of 
                        section 414(s)) of such employees, the 
                        plans shall not be considered 
                        discriminatory merely because the 
                        rights of employees to, or derived 
                        from, the employer contributions under 
                        the separate plans do not become 
                        nonforfeitable at the same rate.
                          (ii) Benefits.--If the employees' 
                        rights to benefits under the separate 
                        plans do not become nonforfeitable at 
                        the same rate, but the levels of 
                        benefits provided by the separate plans 
                        satisfy the requirements of regulations 
                        prescribed by the Secretary to take 
                        account of the differences in such 
                        rates, the plans shall not be 
                        considered discriminatory merely 
                        because of the difference in such 
                        rates.
                  (F) Social security retirement age.--For 
                purposes of testing for discrimination under 
                paragraph (4)--
                          (i) the social security retirement 
                        age (as defined in section 415(b)(8)) 
                        shall be treated as a uniform 
                        retirement age, and
                          (ii) subsidized early retirement 
                        benefits and joint and survivor 
                        annuities shall not be treated as being 
                        unavailable to employees on the same 
                        terms merely because such benefits or 
                        annuities are based in whole or in part 
                        on an employee's social security 
                        retirement age (as so defined).
                  (G) Governmental plans.--Paragraphs (3) and 
                (4) shall not apply to a governmental plan 
                (within the meaning of section 414(d)).
          (6) A plan shall be considered as meeting the 
        requirements of paragraph (3) during the whole of any 
        taxable year of the plan if on one day in each quarter 
        it satisfied such requirements.
          (7) A trust shall not constitute a qualified trust 
        under this section unless the plan of which such trust 
        is a part satisfies the requirements of section 411 
        (relating to minimum vesting standards).
          (8) A trust forming part of a defined benefit plan 
        shall not constitute a qualified trust under this 
        section unless the plan provides that forfeitures must 
        not be applied to increase the benefits any employee 
        would otherwise receive under the plan.
          (9) Required distributions.--
                  (A) In general.--A trust shall not constitute 
                a qualified trust under this subsection unless 
                the plan provides that the entire interest of 
                each employee--
                          (i) will be distributed to such 
                        employee not later than the required 
                        beginning date, or
                          (ii) will be distributed, beginning 
                        not later than the required beginning 
                        date, in accordance with regulations, 
                        over the life of such employee or over 
                        the lives of such employee and a 
                        designated beneficiary (or over a 
                        period not extending beyond the life 
                        expectancy of such employee or the life 
                        expectancy of such employee and a 
                        designated beneficiary).
                  (B) Required distribution where employee dies 
                before entire interest is distributed.--
                          (i) Where distributions have begun 
                        under subparagraph (A)(ii).--A trust 
                        shall not constitute a qualified trust 
                        under this section unless the plan 
                        provides that if--
                                  (I) the distribution of the 
                                employee's interest has begun 
                                in accordance with subparagraph 
                                (A)(ii), and
                                  (II) the employee dies before 
                                his entire interest has been 
                                distributed to him,
                        the remaining portion of such interest 
                        will be distributed at least as rapidly 
                        as under the method of distributions 
                        being used under subparagraph (A)(ii) 
                        as of the date of his death.
                          (ii) 5-year rule for other cases.--A 
                        trust shall not constitute a qualified 
                        trust under this section unless the 
                        plan provides that, if an employee dies 
                        before the distribution of the 
                        employee's interest has begun in 
                        accordance with subparagraph (A)(ii), 
                        the entire interest of the employee 
                        will be distributed within 5 years 
                        after the death of such employee.
                          (iii) Exception to 5-year rule for 
                        certain amounts payable over life of 
                        beneficiary.--If--
                                  (I) any portion of the 
                                employee's interest is payable 
                                to (or for the benefit of) a 
                                designated beneficiary,
                                  (II) such portion will be 
                                distributed (in accordance with 
                                regulations) over the life of 
                                such designated beneficiary (or 
                                over a period not extending 
                                beyond the life expectancy of 
                                such beneficiary), and
                                  (III) such distributions 
                                begin not later than 1 year

                                employee's death or such later 
                                date as the Secretary may by 
                                regulations prescribe,
                        for purposes of clause (ii), the 
                        portion referred to in subclause (I) 
                        shall be treated as distributed on the 
                        date on which such distributions begin.
                          (iv) Special rule for surviving 
                        spouse of employee.--If the designated

                                date on which the employee 
                                would have attained age 70 1/2, 
                                and
                                  (II) if the surviving spouse

                                such plan becomes a top-heavy

                        annuity starting date, the accrued 
                        benefit payable to such participant is 
                        provided in the form of a qualified 
                        joint and survivor annuity, and
                          (ii) in the case of a vested 
                        participant who dies before the annuity 
                        starting date and who has a surviving 
                        spouse, a qualified preretirement 
                        survivor annuity is provided to the 
                        surviving spouse of such participant.
                  (B) Plans to which paragraph applies.--This 
                paragraph shall apply to--
                          (i) any defined benefit plan,
                          (ii) any defined contribution plan 
                        which is subject to the funding 
                        standards of section 412, and
                          (iii) any participant under any other 
                        defined contribution plan unless--
                                  (I) such plan provides that 
                                the participant's 
                                nonforfeitable accrued benefit 
                                (reduced by any security 
                                interest held by the plan by 
                                reason of a loan outstanding to 
                                such participant) is payable in 
                                full, on the death of the 
                                participant, to the 
                                participant's surviving spouse 
                                (or, if there is no surviving 
                                spouse or the surviving spouse 
                                consents in the manner required 
                                under section 417(a)(2), to a 
                                designated beneficiary),
                                  (II) such participant does 
                                not elect a payment of benefits 
                                in the form of a life annuity, 
                                and
                                  (III) with respect to such 
                                participant, such plan is not a 
                                direct or indirect transferee 
                                (in a transfer after December 
                                31, 1984) of a plan which is 
                                described in clause (i) or (ii) 
                                or to which this clause applied 
                                with respect to the 
                                participant.
                Clause (iii)(III) shall apply only with respect 
                to the transferred assets (and income 
                therefrom) if the plan separately accounts for 
                such assets and any income therefrom.
                  (C) Exception for certain ESOP benefits.--
                          (i) In general.--In the case of--
                                  (I) a tax credit employee 
                                stock ownership plan (as 
                                defined in section 409(a)), or
                                  (II) an employee stock 
                                ownership plan (as defined in 
                                section 4975(e)(7)),
                        subparagraph (A) shall not apply to 
                        that portion of the employee's accrued 
                        benefit to which the requirements of 
                        section 409(h) apply.
                          (ii) Nonforfeitable benefit must be 
                        paid in full, etc.--In the case of any 
                        participant, clause (i) shall apply 
                        only if the requirements of subclauses 
                        (I), (II), and (III) of subparagraph 
                        (B)(iii) are met with respect to such 
                        participant.
                  (D) Special rule where participant and spouse 
                married less than 1 year.--A plan shall not be 
                treated as failing to meet the requirements of 
                subparagraphs (B)(iii) or (C) merely because 
                the plan provides that benefits will not be 
                payable to the surviving spouse of the 
                participant unless the participant and such 
                spouse had been married throughout the 1-year 
                period ending on the earlier of the 
                participant's annuity starting date or the date 
                of the participant's death.
                  (E) Exception for plans described in section 
                404(c).--This paragraph shall not apply to a 
                plan which the Secretary has determined is a 
                plan described in section 404(c) (or a 
                continuation thereof) in which participation is 
                substantially limited to individuals who, 
                before January 1, 1976, ceased employment 
                covered by the plan.
                  (F) Cross reference.--For--
                          (i) provisions under which 
                        participants may elect to waive the 
                        requirements of this paragraph, and
                          (ii) other definitions and special 
                        rules for purposes of this paragraph,
                see section 417.
          (12) A trust shall not constitute a qualified trust 
        under this section unless the plan of which such trust 
        is a part provides that in the case of any merger or 
        consolidation with, or transfer of assets or 
        liabilities to, any other plan after September 2, 1974, 
        each participant in the plan would (if the plan then 
        terminated) receive a benefit immediately after the 
        merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or 
        greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to 
        receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, 
        or transfer (if the plan had then terminated). The 
        preceding sentence does not apply to any multiemployer 
        plan with respect to any transaction to the extent that 
        participants either before or after the transaction are 
        covered under a multiemployer plan to which title IV of 
        the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 
        applies.
          (13) Assignment and alienation.--
                  (A) In general.--A trust shall not constitute 
                a qualified trust under this section unless the 
                plan of which such trust is a part provides 
                that benefits provided under the plan may not 
                be assigned or alienated. For purposes of the 
                preceding sentence, there shall not be taken 
                into account any voluntary and revocable 
                assignment of not to exceed 10 percent of any 
                benefit payment made by any participant who is 
                receiving benefits under the plan unless the 
                assignment or alienation is made for purposes 
                of defraying plan administration costs. For 
                purposes of this paragraph a loan made to a 
                participant or beneficiary shall not be treated 
                as an assignment or alienation if such loan is 
                secured by the participant's accrued 
                nonforfeitable benefit and is exempt from the 
                tax imposed by section 4975 (relating to tax on 
                prohibited transactions) by reason of section 
                4975(d)(1). This paragraph shall take effect on 
                January 1, 1976 and shall not apply to 
                assignments which were irrevocable on September 
                2, 1974.
                  (B) Special rules for domestic relations 
                orders.--Subparagraph (A) shall apply to the 
                creation, assignment, or recognition of a right 
                to any benefit payable with respect to a 
                participant pursuant to a domestic relations 
                order, except that subparagraph (A) shall not 
                apply if the order is determined to be a 
                qualified domestic relations order.
                  (C) Special rule for certain judgments and 
                settlements.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply 
                to any offset of a participant's benefits 
                provided under a plan against an amount that 
                the participant is ordered or required to pay 
                to the plan if--
                          (i) the order or requirement to pay 
                        arises--
                                  (I) under a judgment of 
                                conviction for a crime 
                                involving such plan,
                                  (II) under a civil judgment 
                                (including a consent order or 
                                decree) entered by a court in 
                                an action brought in connection 
                                with a violation (or alleged 
                                violation) of part 4 of 
                                subtitle B of title I of the 
                                Employee Retirement Income 
                                Security Act of 1974, or
                                  (III) pursuant to a 
                                settlement agreement between 
                                the Secretary of Labor and the 
                                participant, or a settlement 
                                agreement between the Pension 
                                Benefit Guaranty Corporation 
                                and the participant, in 
                                connection with a violation (or 
                                alleged violation) of part 4 of 
                                such subtitle by a fiduciary or 
                                any other person,
                          (ii) the judgment, order, decree, or 
                        settlement agreement expressly provides 
                        for the offset of all or part of the 
                        amount ordered or required to be paid 
                        to the plan against the participant's 
                        benefits provided under the plan, and
                          (iii) in a case in which the survivor 
                        annuity requirements of section 
                        401(a)(11) apply with respect to 
                        distributions from the plan to the 
                        participant, if the participant has a 
                        spouse at the time at which the offset 
                        is to be made--
                                  (I) either such spouse has 
                                consented in writing to such 
                                offset and such consent is 
                                witnessed by a notary public or 
                                representative of the plan (or 
                                it is established to the 
                                satisfaction of a plan 
                                representative that such 
                                consent may not be obtained by 
                                reason of circumstances 
                                described in section 
                                417(a)(2)(B)), or an election 
                                to waive the right of the 
                                spouse to either a qualified 
                                joint and survivor annuity or a 
                                qualified preretirement 
                                survivor annuity is in effect 
                                in accordance with the 
                                requirements of section 417(a),
                                  (II) such spouse is ordered 
                                or required in such judgment, 
                                order, decree, or settlement to 
                                pay an amount to the plan in 
                                connection with a violation of 
                                part 4 of such subtitle, or
                                  (III) in such judgment, 
                                order, decree, or settlement, 
                                such spouse retains the right 
                                to receive the survivor annuity 
                                under a qualified joint and 
                                survivor annuity provided 
                                pursuant to section 
                                401(a)(11)(A)(i) and under a 
                                qualified preretirement 
                                survivor annuity provided 
                                pursuant to section 
                                401(a)(11)(A)(ii), determined 
                                in accordance with subparagraph 
                                (D).
                        A plan shall not be treated as failing 
                        to meet the requirements of this 
                        subsection, subsection (k), section 
                        403(b), or section 409(d) solely by 
                        reason of an offset described in this 
                        subparagraph.
                  (D) Survivor annuity.--
                          (i) In general.--The survivor annuity 
                        described in subparagraph (C)(iii)(III) 
                        shall be determined as if--
                                  (I) the participant 
                                terminated employment on the 
                                date of the offset,
                                  (II) there was no offset,
                                  (III) the plan permitted 
                                commencement of benefits only 
                                on or after normal retirement 
                                age,
                                  (IV) the plan provided only 
                                the minimum-required qualified 
                                joint and survivor annuity, and
                                  (V) the amount of the 
                                qualified preretirement 
                                survivor annuity under the plan 
                                is equal to the amount of the 
                                survivor annuity payable under 
                                the minimum-required qualified 
                                joint and survivor annuity.
                          (ii) Definition.--For purposes of 
                        this subparagraph, the term ``minimum- 
                        required qualified joint and survivor 
                        annuity'' means the qualified joint and 
                        survivor annuity which is the actuarial 
                        equivalent of the participant's accrued 
                        benefit (within the meaning of section 
                        411(a)(7)) and under which the survivor 
                        annuity is 50 percent of the amount of 
                        the annuity which is payable during the 
                        joint lives of the participant and the 
                        spouse.
          (14) A trust shall not constitute a qualified trust 
        under this section unless the plan of which such trust 
        is a part provides that, unless the participant 
        otherwise elects, the payment of benefits under the 
        plan to the participant will begin not later than the 
        60th day after the latest of the close of the plan year 
        in which--
                  (A) the date on which the participant attains 
                the earlier of age 65 or the normal retirement 
                age specified under the plan,
                  (B) occurs the 10th anniversary of the year 
                in which the participant commenced 
                participation in the plan, or
                  (C) the participant terminates his service 
                with the employer.
        In the case of a plan which provides for the payment of 
        an early retirement benefit, a trust forming a part of 
        such plan shall not constitute a qualified trust under 
        this section unless a participant who satisfied the 
        service requirements for such early retirement benefit, 
        but separated from the service (with any nonforfeitable 
        right to an accrued benefit) before satisfying the age 
        requirement for such early retirement benefit, is 
        entitled upon satisfaction of such age requirement to 
        receive a benefit not less than the benefit to which he 
        would be entitled at the normal retirement age, 
        actuarially, reduced under regulations prescribed by 
        the Secretary.
          (15) A trust shall not constitute a qualified trust 
        under this section unless under the plan of which such 
        trust is a part--
                  (A) in the case of a participant or 
                beneficiary who is receiving benefits under 
                such plan, or
                  (B) in the case of a participant who is 
                separated from the service and who has 
                nonforfeitable rights to benefits,
        such benefits are not decreased by reason of any 
        increase in the benefit levels payable under title II 
        of the Social Security Act or any increase in the wage 
        base under such title II, if such increase takes place 
        after September 2, 1974, or (if later) the earlier of 
        the date of first receipt of such benefits or the date 
        of such separation, as the case may be.
          (16) A trust shall not constitute a qualified trust 
        under this section if the plan of which such trust is a 
        part provides for benefits or contributions which 
        exceed the limitations of section 415.
          (17) Compensation limit.--
                  (A) In general.--A trust shall not constitute 
                a qualified trust under this section unless, 
                under the plan of which such trust is a part, 
                the annual compensation of each employee taken 
                into account under the plan for any year does 
                not exceed $200,000.
                  (B) Cost-of-living adjustment.--The Secretary 
                shall adjust annually the $200,000 amount in 
                subparagraph (A) for increases in the cost-of-
                living at the same time and in the same manner 
                as adjustments under section 415(d); except 
                that the base period shall be the calendar 
                quarter beginning July 1, 2001, and any 
                increase which is not a multiple of $5,000 
                shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of 
                $5,000.
          (19) A trust shall not constitute a qualified trust 
        under this section if under the plan of which such 
        trust is a part any part of a participant's accrued 
        benefit derived from employer contributions (whether or 
        not otherwise nonforfeitable), is forfeitable solely 
        because of withdrawal by such participant of any amount 
        attributable to the benefit derived from contributions 
        made by such participant. The preceding sentence shall 
        not apply to the accrued benefit of any participant 
        unless, at the time of such withdrawal, such 
        participant has a nonforfeitable right to at least 50 
        percent of such accrued benefit (as determined under 
        section 411). The first sentence of this paragraph 
        shall not apply to the extent that an accrued benefit 
        is permitted to be forfeited in accordance with section 
        411(a)(3)(D)(iii) (relating to proportional forfeitures 
        of benefits accrued before September 2, 1974, in the 
        event of withdrawal of certain mandatory 
        contributions).
          (20) A trust forming part of a pension plan shall not 
        be treated as failing to constitute a qualified trust 
        under this section merely because the pension plan of 
        which such trust is a part makes 1 or more 
        distributions within 1 taxable year to a distributee on 
        account of a termination of the plan of which the trust 
        is a part, or in the case of a profit-sharing or stock 
        bonus plan, a complete discontinuance of contributions 
        under such plan. This paragraph shall not apply to a 
        defined benefit plan unless the employer maintaining 
        such plan files a notice with the Pension Benefit 
        Guaranty Corporation (at the time and in the manner 
        prescribed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation) 
        notifying the Corporation of such payment or 
        distribution and the Corporation has approved such 
        payment or distribution or, within 90 days after the 
        date on which such notice was filed, has failed to 
        disapprove such payment or distribution. For purposes 
        of this paragraph, rules similar to the rules of 
        section 402(a)(6)(B) (as in effect before its repeal by 
        section 521 of the Unemployment Compensation Amendments 
        of 1992) shall apply.
          (22) If a defined contribution plan (other than a 
        profit-sharing plan)--
                  (A) is established by an employer whose stock 
                is not readily tradable on an established 
                market, and
                  (B) after acquiring securities of the 
                employer, more than 10 percent of the total 
                assets of the plan are securities of the 
                employer,
        any trust forming part of such plan shall not 
        constitute a qualified trust under this section unless 
        the plan meets the requirements of subsection (e) of 
        section 409. The requirements of subsection (e) of 
        section 409 shall not apply to any employees of an 
        employer who are participants in any defined 
        contribution plan established and maintained by such 
        employer if the stock of such employer is not readily 
        tradable on an established market and the trade or 
        business of such employer consists of publishing on a 
        regular basis a newspaper for general circulation. For 
        purposes of the preceding sentence, subsections (b), 
        (c), (m), and (o) of section 414 shall not apply except 
        for determining whether stock of the employer is not 
        readily tradable on an established market.
          (23) A stock bonus plan shall not be treated as 
        meeting the requirements of this section unless such 
        plan meets the requirements of subsections (h) and (o) 
        of section 409, except that in applying section 409(h) 
        for purposes of this paragraph, the term ``employer 
        securities'' shall include any securities of the 
        employer held by the plan.
          (24) Any group trust which otherwise meets the 
        requirements of this section shall not be treated as 
        not meeting such requirements on account of the 
        participation or inclusion in such trust of the moneys 
        of any plan or governmental unit described in section 
        818(a)(6).
          (25) Requirement that actuarial assumptions be 
        specified.--A defined benefit plan shall not be treated 
        as providing definitely determinable benefits unless, 
        whenever the amount of any benefit is to be determined 
        on the basis of actuarial assumptions, such assumptions 
        are specified in the plan in a way which precludes 
        employer discretion.
          (26) Additional participation requirements.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of a trust which 
                is a part of a defined benefit plan, such trust 
                shall not constitute a qualified trust under 
                this subsection unless on each day of the plan 
                year such trust benefits at least the lesser 
                of--
                          (i) 50 employees of the employer, or
                          (ii) the greater of--
                                  (I) 40 percent of all 
                                employees of the employer, or
                                  (II) 2 employees (or if there 
                                is only 1 employee, such 
                                employee).
                  (B) Treatment of excludable employees.--
                          (i) In general.--A plan may exclude 
                        from consideration under this paragraph 
                        employees described in paragraphs (3) 
                        and (4)(A) of section 410(b).
                          (ii) Separate application for certain 
                        excludable employees.--If employees 
                        described in section 410(b)(4)(B) are 
                        covered under a plan which meets the 
                        requirements of subparagraph (A) 
                        separately with respect to such 
                        employees, such employees may be 
                        excluded from consideration in 
                        determining whether any plan of the 
                        employer meets such requirements if--
                                  (I) the benefits for such 
                                employees are provided under 
                                the same plan as benefits for 
                                other employees,
                                  (II) the benefits provided to 
                                such employees are not greater 
                                than comparable benefits 
                                provided to other employees 
                                under the plan, and
                                  (III) no highly compensated 
                                employee (within the meaning of 
                                section 414(q)) is included in 
                                the group of such employees for 
                                more than 1 year.
                  (C) Special rule for collective bargaining 
                units.--Except to the extent provided in 
                regulations, a plan covering only employees 
                described in section 410(b)(3)(A) may exclude 
                from consideration any employees who are not 
                included in the unit or units in which the 
                covered employees are included.
                  (D) Paragraph not to apply to multiemployer 
                plans.--Except to the extent provided in 
                regulations, this paragraph shall not apply to 
                employees in a multiemployer plan (within the 
                meaning of section 414(f)) who are covered by 
                collective bargaining agreements.
                  (E) Special rule for certain dispositions or 
                acquisitions.--Rules similar to the rules of 
                section 410(b)(6)(C) shall apply for purposes 
                of this paragraph.
                  (F) Separate lines of business.--At the 
                election of the employer and with the consent 
                of the Secretary, this paragraph may be applied 
                separately with respect to each separate line 
                of business of the employer. For purposes of 
                this paragraph, the term ``separate line of 
                business'' has the meaning given such term by 
                section 414(r) (without regard to paragraph 
                (2)(A) or (7) thereof).
                  (G) Exception for governmental plans.--This 
                paragraph shall not apply to a governmental 
                plan (within the meaning of section 414(d)).
                  (H) Regulations.--The Secretary may by 
                regulation provide that any separate benefit 
                structure, any separate trust, or any other 
                separate arrangement is to be treated as a 
                separate plan for purposes of applying this 
                paragraph.
          (27) Determinations as to profit-sharing plans.--
                  (A) Contributions need not be based on 
                profits.--The determination of whether the plan 
                under which any contributions are made is a 
                profit-sharing plan shall be made without 
                regard to current or accumulated profits of the 
                employer and without regard to whether the 
                employer is a tax- exempt organization.
                  (B) Plan must designate type.--In the case of 
                a plan which is intended to be a money purchase 
                pension plan or a profit-sharing plan, a trust 
                forming part of such plan shall not constitute 
                a qualified trust under this subsection unless 
                the plan designates such intent at such time 
                and in such manner as the Secretary may 
                prescribe.
          (28) Additional requirements relating to employee 
        stock ownership plans.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of a trust which 
                is part of an employee stock ownership plan 
                (within the meaning of section 4975(e)(7)) or a 
                plan which meets the requirements of section 
                409(a), such trust shall not constitute a 
                qualified trust under this section unless such 
                plan meets the requirements of subparagraphs 
                (B) and (C).
                  (B) Diversification of investments.--
                          (i) In general.--A plan meets the 
                        requirements of this subparagraph if 
                        each qualified participant in the plan 
                        may elect within 90 days after the 
                        close of each plan year in the 
                        qualified election period to direct the 
                        plan as to the investment of at least 
                        25 percent of the participant's account 
                        in the plan (to the extent such portion 
                        exceeds the amount to which a prior 
                        election under this subparagraph 
                        applies). In the case of the election 
                        year in which the participant can make 
                        his last election, the preceding 
                        sentence shall be applied by 
                        substituting ``50 percent'' for ``25 
                        percent''.
                          (ii) Method of meeting 
                        requirements.--A plan shall be treated 
                        as meeting the requirements of clause

                                  (I) the 1st plan year in 
                                which the individual first 
                                became a qualified participant, 
                                or

        plan) to which the requirements of section 412 apply, 
        the trust of which the plan is a part shall not

        of a trust which is part of a plan under which elective 
        deferrals (within the meaning of section 402(g)(3)) may 
        be made with respect to any individual during a 
        calendar year, such trust shall not constitute a 
        qualified trust under this subsection unless the plan 
        provides that the amount of such deferrals under such 
        plan and all other plans, contracts, or arrangements of 
        an employer maintaining such plan may not exceed the 
        amount of the limitation in effect under section

                rollover distribution--
                          (i) elects to have such distribution 
                        paid directly to an eligible retirement 
                        plan, and
                          (ii) specifies the eligible 
                        retirement plan to which such 
                        distribution is to be paid (in such 
                        form and at such time as the plan 
                        administrator may prescribe),
                such distribution shall be made in the form of 
                a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to the 
                eligible retirement plan so specified.

                        trust shall not constitute a qualified 
                        trust under this section unless the 
                        plan of which such trust is a part 
                        provides that if--
                                  (I) a distribution described 
                                in clause (ii) in excess of 
                                $1,000 is made, and
                                  (II) the distributee does not 
                                make an election under 
                                subparagraph (A) and does not 
                                elect to receive the 
                                distribution directly,
                        the plan administrator shall make such 
                        transfer to an individual retirement 
                        plan of a designated trustee or issuer 
                        and shall notify the distributee in 
                        writing (either separately or as part 
                        of the notice under section 402(f)) 
                        that the distribution may be 
                        transferred to another individual 
                        retirement plan.
                          (ii) Eligible plan.--For purposes of 
                        clause (i), the term ``eligible plan'' 
                        means a plan which provides that any 
                        nonforfeitable accrued benefit for 
                        which the present value (as determined 
                        under section 411(a)(11)) does not 
                        exceed $5,000 shall be immediately 
                        distributed to the participant.
                  (C) Limitation.--Subparagraphs (A) and (B) 
                shall apply only to the extent that the

                403(b)(8), and 457(e)(16)). The preceding 
                sentence shall not apply to such distribution 
                if the plan to which such distribution is 
                transferred--
                          (i) is a qualified trust which is 
                        part of a plan which is a defined 
                        contribution plan and agrees to 
                        separately account for amounts so 
                        transferred, including separately 
                        accounting for the portion of such 
                        distribution which is includible in 
                        gross income and the portion of such 
                        distribution which is not so 
                        includible, or
                          (ii) is an eligible retirement plan 
                        described in clause (i) or (ii) of 
                        section 402(c)(8)(B).
                  (D) Eligible rollover distribution.--For 
                purposes of this paragraph, the term ``eligible 
                rollover distribution'' has the meaning given 
                such term by section 402(f)(2)(A).
                  (E) Eligible retirement plan.--For purposes 
                of this paragraph, the term ``eligible 
                retirement plan'' has the meaning given such 
                term by section 402(c)(8)(B), except that a 
                qualified trust shall be considered an eligible 
                retirement plan only if it is a defined 
                contribution plan, the terms of which permit 
                the acceptance of rollover distributions.
          (32) Treatment of failure to make certain payments if 
        plan has liquidity shortfall.--
                  (A) In general.--A trust forming part of a 
                pension plan to which section 430(j)(4) or 
                433(f)(5) applies shall not be treated as 
                failing to constitute a qualified trust under 
                this section merely because such plan ceases to 
                make any payment described in subparagraph (B) 
                during any period that such plan has a 
                liquidity shortfall (as defined in section 
                430(j)(4) or 433(f)(5)).
                  (B) Payments described.--A payment is

                is--
                          (i) any payment, in excess of the 
                        monthly amount paid under a single life 
                        annuity (plus any social security 
                        supplements described in the last 
                        sentence of section 411(a)(9)), to a 
                        participant or beneficiary whose 
                        annuity starting date (as defined in 
                        section 417(f)(2)) occurs during the 
                        period referred to in subparagraph (A),
                          (ii) any payment for the purchase of 
                        an irrevocable commitment from an 
                        insurer to pay benefits, and
                          (iii) any other payment specified by 
                        the Secretary by regulations.
                  (C) Period of shortfall.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph, a plan has a liquidity 
                shortfall during the period that there is an 
                underpayment of an installment under section 
                430(j)(3) or 433(f) by reason of section 
                430(j)(4)(A) or 433(f)(5), respectively.
          (33) Prohibition on benefit increases while sponsor 
        is in bankruptcy.--
                  (A) In general.--A trust which is part of a 
                plan to which this paragraph applies shall not 
                constitute a qualified trust under this section 
                if an amendment to such plan is adopted while 
                the employer is a debtor in a case under title 
                11, United States Code, or similar Federal or 
                State law, if such amendment increases 
                liabilities of the plan by reason of
                          (i) any increase in benefits,
                          (ii) any change in the accrual of 
                        benefits, or
                          (iii) any change in the rate at which 
                        benefits become nonforfeitable under 
                        the plan,
                with respect to employees of the debtor, and 
                such amendment is effective prior to the 
                effective date of such employer's plan of 
                reorganization.
                  (B) Exceptions.--This paragraph shall not 
                apply to any plan amendment if--
                          (i) the plan, were such amendment to 
                        take effect, would have a funding 
                        target attainment percentage (as 
                        defined in section 430(d)(2)) of 100 
                        percent or more,
                          (ii) the Secretary determines that 
                        such amendment is reasonable and 
                        provides for only de minimis increases 
                        in the liabilities of the plan with 
                        respect to employees of the debtor,
                          (iii) such amendment only repeals an 
                        amendment described in section 
                        412(d)(2), or
                          (iv) such amendment is required as a 
                        condition of qualification under this 
                        part.
                  (C) Plans to which this paragraph applies.--
                This paragraph shall apply only to plans (other 
                than multiemployer plans or CSEC plans) covered 
                under section 4021 of the Employee Retirement 
                Income Security Act of 1974.
                  (D) Employer.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, the term ``employer'' means the 
                employer referred to in section 412(b)(1), 
                without regard to section 412(b)(2).
          (34) Benefits of missing participants on plan 
        termination.--In the case of a plan covered by title IV 
        of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 
        a trust forming part of such plan shall not be treated 
        as failing to constitute a qualified trust under this 
        section merely because the pension plan of which such 
        trust is a part, upon its termination, transfers 
        benefits of missing participants to the Pension Benefit 
        Guaranty Corporation in accordance with section 4050 of 
        such Act.
          (35) Diversification requirements for certain defined 
        contribution plans.--
                  (A) In general.--A trust which is part of an 
                applicable defined contribution plan shall not 
                be treated as a qualified trust unless the plan 
                meets the diversification requirements of 
                subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D).
                  (B) Employee contributions and elective 
                deferrals invested in employer securities.--In 
                the case of the portion of an applicable 
                individual's account attributable to employee 
                contributions and elective deferrals which is 
                invested in employer securities, a plan meets 
                the requirements of this subparagraph if the 
                applicable individual may elect to direct the

                which is invested in employer securities, a 
                plan meets the requirements of this 
                subparagraph if each applicable individual 
                who--
                          (i) is a participant who has 
                        completed at least 3 years of service,

                          (i) In general.--The requirements of 
                        this subparagraph are met if the plan

                        options, other than employer 
                        securities, to which an applicable 
                        individual may direct the proceeds from 
                        the divestment of employer securities 
                        pursuant to this paragraph, each of 
                        which is diversified and has materially 
                        different risk and return

                                this subparagraph merely 
                                because the plan limits the 
                                time for divestment and 
                                reinvestment to periodic,

                                other assets of the plan. This

        to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals 
        relating to the period of qualified military service) 
        provided under the plan had the participant resumed and 
        then terminated employment on account of death.
Paragraphs (11), (12), (13), (14), (15), (19), and (20) shall 
apply only in the case of a plan to which section 411 (relating 
to minimum vesting standards) applies without regard to 
subsection (e)(2) of such section.
  (b) Certain retroactive changes in plan.--A stock bonus, 
pension, profit-sharing, or annuity plan shall be considered as 
satisfying the requirements of subsection (a) for the period 
beginning with the date on which it was put into effect, or for 
the period beginning with the earlier of the date on which 
there was adopted or put into effect any amendment which caused 
the plan to fail to satisfy such requirements, and ending with 
the time prescribed by law for filing the return of the 
employer for his taxable year in which such plan or amendment 
was adopted (including extensions thereof) or such later time 
as the Secretary may designate, if all provisions of the plan 
which are necessary to satisfy such requirements are in effect 
by the end of such period and have been made effective for all 
purposes for the whole of such period.
  (c) Definitions and rules relating to self-employed 
individuals and owner-employees.--For purposes of this 
section--
          (1) Self-employed individual treated as employee.--

                          (i) an individual who would be a 
                        self-employed individual within the 
                        meaning of the preceding sentence but 
                        for the fact that the trade or business 
                        carried on by such individual did not 
                        have net profits for the taxable year, 
                        and
                          (ii) an individual who has been a

                defined in section 1402(a)), but such net 
                earnings shall be determined--
                          (i) only with respect to a trade or 
                        business in which personal services of

                          (iii) in the case of any individual 
                        who is treated as an employee under 
                        subparagraph (A), (C), or (D) of 
                        section 3121(d)(3), without regard to 
                        section 1402(c)(2)
                          (iv) without regard to items which 
                        are not included in gross income for 
                        purposes of this chapter, and the 
                        deductions properly allocable to or 
                        chargeable against such items,
                          (v) with regard to the deductions 
                        allowed by section 404 to the taxpayer, 
                        and
                          (vi) with regard to the deduction 
                        allowed to the taxpayer by section 
                        164(f).
                For purposes of this subparagraph, section 
                1402, as in effect for a taxable year ending on 
                December 31, 1962, shall be treated as having 
                been in effect for all taxable years ending 
                before such date. For purposes of this part 
                only (other than sections 419 and 419A), this 
                subparagraph shall be applied as if the term 
                ``trade or business'' for purposes of section 
                1402 included service described in section 
                1402(c)(6).
                  (B) Repealed
                  (C) Income from disposition of certain 
                property.--For purposes of this section, the 
                term ``earned income'' includes gains (other 
                than any gain which is treated under any 
                provision of this chapter as gain from the sale 
                or exchange of a capital asset) and net 
                earnings derived from the sale or other 
                disposition of, the transfer of any interest 
                in, or the licensing of the use of property 
                (other than good will) by an individual whose 
                personal efforts created such property.
          (3) Owner-employee.--The term ``owner-employee'' 
        means an employee who--
                  (A) owns the entire interest in an 
                unincorporated trade or business, or
                  (B) in the case of a partnership, is a 
                partner who owns more than 10 percent of either 
                the capital interest or the profits interest in 
                such partnership.
        To the extent provided in regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary, such term also means an individual who has 
        been an owner-employee within the meaning of the 
        preceding sentence.
          (4) Employer.--An individual who owns the entire 
        interest in an unincorporated trade or business shall 
        be treated as his own employer. A partnership shall be 
        treated as the employer of each partner who is an 
        employee within the meaning of paragraph (1).
          (5) Contributions on behalf of owner-employees.--The 
        term ``contribution on behalf of an owner-employee'' 
        includes, except as the context otherwise requires, a 
        contribution under a plan--
                  (A) by the employer for an owner-employee, 
                and
                  (B) by an owner-employee as an employee.
          (6) Special rule for certain fishermen.--For purposes 
        of this subsection, the term ``self-employed 
        individual'' includes an individual described in 
        section 3121(b)(20) (relating to certain fishermen).
  (d) Contribution limit on owner-employees.--A trust forming 
part of a pension or profit-sharing plan which provides 
contributions or benefits for employees some or all of whom are 
owner-employees shall constitute a qualified trust under this 
section only if, in addition to meeting the requirements of 
subsection (a), the plan provides that contributions on behalf 
of any owner-employee may be made only with respect to the 
earned income of such owner-employee which is derived from the 
trade or business with respect to which such plan is 
established.
  (f) Certain custodial accounts and contracts.--For purposes 
of this title, a custodial account, an annuity contract, or a 
contract (other than a life, health or accident, property, 
casualty, or liability insurance contract) issued by an 
insurance company qualified to do business in a State shall be 
treated as a qualified trust under this section if--
          (1) the custodial account or contract would, except 
        for the fact that it is not a trust, constitute a 
        qualified trust under this section, and
          (2) in the case of a custodial account the assets 
        thereof are held by a bank (as defined in section 
        408(n)) or another person who demonstrates, to the 
        satisfaction of the Secretary, that the manner in which 
        he will hold the assets will be consistent with the 
        requirements of this section.
For purposes of this title, in the case of a custodial account 
or contract treated as a qualified trust under this section by 
reason of this subsection, the person holding the assets of 
such account or holding such contract shall be treated as the 
trustee thereof.
  (g) Annuity defined.--For purposes of this section and 
sections 402, 403, and 404, the term ``annuity'' includes a 
face-amount certificate, as defined in section 2(a)(15) of the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C., sec. 80a-2); but 
does not include any contract or certificate issued after 
December 31, 1962, which is transferable, if any person other 
than the trustee of a trust described in section 401(a) which 
is exempt from tax under section 501(a) is the owner of such 
contract or certificate.
  (h) Medical, etc., benefits for retired employees and their 
spouses and dependents.--Under regulations prescribed by the 
Secretary, and subject to the provisions of section 420, a 
pension or annuity plan may provide for the payment of benefits 
for sickness, accident, hospitalization, and medical expenses 
of retired employees, their spouses and their dependents, but 
only if--
          (1) such benefits are subordinate to the retirement 
        benefits provided by the plan,
          (2) a separate account is established and maintained 
        for such benefits,
          (3) the employer's contributions to such separate 
        account are reasonable and ascertainable,
          (4) it is impossible, at any time prior to the 
        satisfaction of all liabilities under the plan to 
        provide such benefits, for any part of the corpus or 
        income of such separate account to be (within the 
        taxable year or thereafter) used for, or diverted to, 
        any purpose other than the providing of such benefits,
          (5) notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 
        (a)(2), upon the satisfaction of all liabilities under 
        the plan to provide such benefits, any amount remaining 
        in such separate account must, under the terms of the 
        plan, be returned to the employer, and
          (6) in the case of an employee who is a key employee, 
        a separate account is established and maintained for 
        such benefits payable to such employee (and his spouse 
        and dependents) and such benefits (to the extent 
        attributable to plan years beginning after March 31, 
        1984, for which the employee is a key employee) are 
        only payable to such employee (and his spouse and 
        dependents) from such separate account.
For purposes of paragraph (6), the term ``key employee'' means 
any employee, who at any time during the plan year or any 
preceding plan year during which contributions were made on 
behalf of such employee, is or was a key employee as defined in 
section 416(i). In no event shall the requirements of paragraph 
(1) be treated as met if the aggregate actual contributions for 
medical benefits, when added to actual contributions for life 
insurance protection under the plan, exceed 25 percent of the 
total actual contributions to the plan (other than 
contributions to fund past service credits) after the date on 
which the account is established. For purposes of this 
subsection, the term ``dependent'' shall include any individual 
who is a child (as defined in [section 152(f)(1)] section 
7706(f)(1)) of a retired employee who as of the end of the 
calendar year has not attained age 27.
  (i) Certain union-negotiated pension plans.--In the case of a 
trust forming part of a pension plan which has been determined 
by the Secretary to constitute a qualified trust under 
subsection (a) and to be exempt from taxation under section 
501(a) for a period beginning after contributions were first 
made to or for such trust, if it is shown to the satisfaction 
of the Secretary that--
          (1) such trust was created pursuant to a collective 
        bargaining agreement between employee representatives 
        and one or more employers,
          (2) any disbursements of contributions, made to or 
        for such trust before the time as of which the 
        Secretary or his delegate determined that the trust 
        constituted a qualified trust, substantially complied 
        with the terms of the trust, and the plan of which the 
        trust is a part, as subsequently qualified, and
          (3) before the time as of which the Secretary 
        determined that the trust constitutes a qualified 
        trust, the contributions to or for such trust were not 
        used in a manner which would jeopardize the interests 
        of its beneficiaries,
then such trust shall be considered as having constituted a 
qualified trust under subsection (a) and as having been exempt 
from taxation under section 501(a) for the period beginning on 
the date on which contributions were first made to or for such 
trust and ending on the date such trust first constituted 
(without regard to this subsection) a qualified trust under 
subsection (a).
  (k) Cash or deferred arrangements.--
          (1) General rule.--A profit-sharing or stock bonus 
        plan, a pre-ERISA money purchase plan, or a rural 
        cooperative plan shall not be considered as not 
        satisfying the requirements of subsection (a) merely 
        because the plan includes a qualified cash or deferred 
        arrangement.
          (2) Qualified cash or deferred arrangement.--A 
        qualified cash or deferred arrangement is any 
        arrangement which is part of a profit-sharing or stock 
        bonus plan, a pre-ERISA money purchase plan, or a rural 
        cooperative plan which meets the requirements of 
        subsection (a)--
                  (A) under which a covered employee may elect 
                to have the employer make payments as 
                contributions to a trust under the plan on 
                behalf of the employee, or to the employee 
                directly in cash;
                  (B) under which amounts held by the trust 
                which are attributable to employer 
                contributions made pursuant to the employee's 
                election--
                          (i) may not be distributable to 
                        participants or other beneficiaries 
                        earlier than--
                                  (I) severance from 
                                employment, death, or 
                                disability,
                                  (II) an event described in 
                                paragraph (10),
                                  (III) in the case of a 
                                profit-sharing or stock bonus 
                                plan, the attainment of age 59 
                                1/2,
                                  (IV) subject to the 
                                provisions of paragraph (14), 
                                upon hardship of the employee, 
                                or
                                  (V) in the case of a 
                                qualified reservist 
                                distribution (as defined in 
                                section 72(t)(2)(G)(iii)), the 
                                date on which a period referred 
                                to in subclause (III) of such 
                                section begins, and
                          (ii) will not be distributable merely 
                        by reason of the completion of a stated 
                        period of participation or the lapse of 
                        a fixed number of years;
                  (C) which provides that an employee's right 
                to his accrued benefit derived from employer 
                contributions made to the trust pursuant to his 
                election is nonforfeitable, and
                  (D) which does not require, as a condition of 
                participation in the arrangement, that an 
                employee complete a period of service with the 
                employer (or employers) maintaining the plan 
                extending beyond the period permitted under 
                section 410(a)(1) (determined without regard to 
                subparagraph (B)(i) thereof).
          (3) Application of participation and discrimination 
        standards.--
                  (A) A cash or deferred arrangement shall not 
                be treated as a qualified cash or deferred 
                arrangement unless--
                          (i) those employees eligible to 
                        benefit under the arrangement satisfy 
                        the provisions of section 410(b)(1), 
                        and
                          (ii) the actual deferral percentage 
                        for eligible highly compensated 
                        employees (as defined in paragraph (5)) 
                        for the plan year bears a relationship 
                        to the actual deferral percentage for 
                        all other eligible employees for the 
                        preceding plan year which meets either 
                        of the following tests:
                                  (I) The actual deferral 
                                percentage for the group of 
                                eligible highly compensated 
                                employees is not more than the 
                                actual deferral percentage of 
                                all other eligible employees 
                                multiplied by 1.25.
                                  (II) The excess of the actual 
                                deferral percentage for the 
                                group of eligible highly 
                                compensated employees over that 
                                of all other eligible employees 
                                is not more than 2 percentage 
                                points, and the actual deferral 
                                percentage for the group of 
                                eligible highly compensated 
                                employees is not more than the 
                                actual deferral percentage of 
                                all other eligible employees 
                                multiplied by 2.
                        If 2 or more plans which include cash 
                        or deferred arrangements are considered 
                        as 1 plan for purposes of section 
                        401(a)(4) or 410(b), the cash or 
                        deferred arrangements included in such 
                        plans shall be treated as 1 arrangement 
                        for purposes of this subparagraph.
                If any highly compensated employee is a 
                participant under 2 or more cash or deferred 
                arrangements of the employer, for purposes of 
                determining the deferral percentage with 
                respect to such employee, all such cash or 
                deferred arrangements shall be treated as 1 
                cash or deferred arrangement. An arrangement 
                may apply clause (ii) by using the plan year 
                rather than the preceding plan year if the 
                employer so elects, except that if such an 
                election is made, it may not be changed except 
                as provided by the Secretary.
                  (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the 
                actual deferral percentage for a specified 
                group of employees for a plan year shall be the 
                average of the ratios (calculated separately 
                for each employee in such group) of--
                          (i) the amount of employer 
                        contributions actually paid over to the 
                        trust on behalf of each such employee 
                        for such plan year, to
                          (ii) the employee's compensation for 
                        such plan year.
                  (C) A cash or deferred arrangement shall be 
                treated as meeting the requirements of 
                subsection (a)(4) with respect to contributions 
                if the requirements of subparagraph (A)(ii) are 
                met.
                  (D) For purposes of subparagraph (B), the 
                employer contributions on behalf of any 
                employee--
                          (i) shall include any employer 
                        contributions made pursuant to the 
                        employee's election under paragraph 
                        (2), and
                          (ii) under such rules as the 
                        Secretary may prescribe, may, at the 
                        election of the employer, include--
                                  (I) matching contributions 
                                (as defined in 401(m)(4)(A)) 
                                which meet the requirements of 
                                paragraph (2)(B) and (C), and
                                  (II) qualified nonelective 
                                contributions (within the 
                                meaning of section 
                                401(m)(4)(C)).
                  (E) For purposes of this paragraph, in the 
                case of the first plan year of any plan (other 
                than a successor plan), the amount taken into 
                account as the actual deferral percentage of 
                nonhighly compensated employees for the 
                preceding plan year shall be--
                          (i) 3 percent, or
                          (ii) if the employer makes an 
                        election under this subclause, the 
                        actual deferral percentage of nonhighly 
                        compensated employees determined for 
                        such first plan year.
                  (F) Special rule for early participation.--If 
                an employer elects to apply section 
                410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether a cash or 
                deferred arrangement meets the requirements of 
                subparagraph (A)(i), the employer may, in 
                determining whether the arrangement meets the 
                requirements of subparagraph (A)(ii), exclude 
                from consideration all eligible employees 
                (other than highly compensated employees) who 
                have not met the minimum age and service 
                requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A).
                  (G) Governmental plan.--A governmental plan 
                (within the meaning of section 414(d)) shall be 
                treated as meeting the requirements of this 
                paragraph.
          (4) Other requirements.--
                  (A) Benefits (other than matching 
                contributions) must not be contingent on 
                election to defer.--A cash or deferred 
                arrangement of any employer shall not be 
                treated as a qualified cash or deferred 
                arrangement if any other benefit is conditioned 
                (directly or indirectly) on the employee 
                electing to have the employer make or not make 
                contributions under the arrangement in lieu of 
                receiving cash. The preceding sentence shall 
                not apply to any matching contribution (as 
                defined in section 401(m)) made by reason of 
                such an election.
                  (B) Eligibility of state and local 
                governments and tax-exempt organizations.--
                          (i) Tax-exempts eligible.--Except as 
                        provided in clause (ii), any 
                        organization exempt from tax under this 
                        subtitle may include a qualified cash 
                        or deferred arrangement as part of a 
                        plan maintained by it.
                          (ii) Governments ineligible.--A cash 
                        or deferred arrangement shall not be 
                        treated as a qualified cash or deferred 
                        arrangement if it is part of a plan 
                        maintained by a State or local 
                        government or political subdivision 
                        thereof, or any agency or 
                        instrumentality thereof. This clause 
                        shall not apply to a rural cooperative 
                        plan or to a plan of an employer 
                        described in clause (iii).
                          (iii) Treatment of Indian tribal 
                        governments.--An employer which is an 
                        Indian tribal government (as defined in 
                        section 7701(a)(40)), a subdivision of 
                        an Indian tribal government (determined 
                        in accordance with section 7871(d)), an 
                        agency or instrumentality of an Indian 
                        tribal government or subdivision 
                        thereof, or a corporation chartered 
                        under Federal, State, or tribal law 
                        which is owned in whole or in part by 
                        any of the foregoing may include a 
                        qualified cash or deferred arrangement 
                        as part of a plan maintained by the 
                        employer.
                  (C) Coordination with other plans.--Except as 
                provided in section 401(m), any employer 
                contribution made pursuant to an employee's 
                election under a qualified cash or deferred 
                arrangement shall not be taken into account for 
                purposes of determining whether any other plan 
                meets the requirements of section 401(a) or 
                410(b). This subparagraph shall not apply for 
                purposes of determining whether a plan meets 
                the average benefit requirement of section 
                410(b)(2)(A)(ii).
          (5) Highly compensated employee.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``highly compensated 
        employee'' has the meaning given such term by section 
        414(q).
          (6) Pre-ERISA money purchase plan.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``pre-ERISA money purchase 
        plan'' means a pension plan--
                  (A) which is a defined contribution plan (as 
                defined in section 414(i)),

                and which, on such date, included a salary 
                reduction arrangement, and
                  (C) under which neither the employee 
                contributions nor the employer contributions 
                may exceed the levels provided for by the 
                contribution formula in effect under the plan 
                on such date.
          (7) Rural cooperative plan.--For purposes of this 
        subsection--
                  (A) In general.--The term ``rural cooperative 
                plan'' means any pension plan--
                          (i) which is a defined contribution 
                        plan (as defined in section 414(i)),

                                  (I) is engaged primarily in 
                                providing electric service on a

                                service and which is exempt 
                                from tax under this subtitle or

                                under the laws of a State as a

                                purpose of irrigation, water 
                                conservation, or drainage, and

                        or (iv).
                  (C) Special rule for certain distributions.--
                A rural cooperative plan which includes a 
                qualified cash or deferred arrangement shall 
                not be treated as violating the requirements of 
                section 401(a) or of paragraph (2) merely by 
                reason of a hardship distribution or a 
                distribution to a participant after attainment 
                of age 59 1/2. For purposes of this section, 
                the term ``hardship distribution'' means a 
                distribution described in paragraph 
                (2)(B)(i)(IV) (without regard to the limitation 
                of its application to profit-sharing or stock 
                bonus plans).
          (8) Arrangement not disqualified if excess 
        contributions distributed.--
                  (A) In general.--A cash or deferred 
                arrangement shall not be treated as failing to 
                meet the requirements of clause (ii) of 
                paragraph (3)(A) for any plan year if, before 
                the close of the following plan year--
                          (i) the amount of the excess 
                        contributions for such plan year (and 
                        any income allocable to such 
                        contributions through the end of such 
                        year) is distributed, or
                          (ii) to the extent provided in 
                        regulations, the employee elects to 
                        treat the amount of the excess 
                        contributions as an amount distributed 
                        to the employee and then contributed by 
                        the employee to the plan.
                Any distribution of excess contributions (and 
                income) may be made without regard to any other 
                provision of law.
                  (B) Excess contributions.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``excess 
                contributions'' means, with respect to any plan 
                year, the excess of--
                          (i) the aggregate amount of employer 
                        contributions actually paid over to the 
                        trust on behalf of highly compensated 
                        employees for such plan year, over
                          (ii) the maximum amount of such 
                        contributions permitted under the 
                        limitations of clause (ii) of paragraph 
                        (3)(A) (determined by reducing 
                        contributions made on behalf of highly 
                        compensated employees in order of the 
                        actual deferral percentages beginning 
                        with the highest of such percentages).
                  (C) Method of distributing excess 
                contributions.--Any distribution of the excess 
                contributions for any plan year shall be made 
                to highly compensated employees on the basis of 
                the amount of contributions by, or on behalf 
                of, each of such employees.
                  (D) Additional tax under section 72(t) not to 
                apply.--No tax shall be imposed under section 
                72(t) on any amount required to be distributed 
                under this paragraph.
                  (E) Treatment of matching contributions 
                forfeited by reason of excess deferral or 
                contribution or permissible withdrawal.--For 
                purposes of paragraph (2)(C), a matching 
                contribution (within the meaning of subsection 
                (m)) shall not be treated as forfeitable merely 
                because such contribution is forfeitable if the 
                contribution to which the matching contribution 
                relates is treated as an excess contribution 
                under subparagraph (B), an excess deferral 
                under section 402(g)(2)(A), a permissible 
                withdrawal under section 414(w), or an excess 
                aggregate contribution under section 
                401(m)(6)(B).
                  (F) Cross reference.--For excise tax on 
                certain excess contributions, see section 4979.
          (9) Compensation.--For purposes of this subsection, 
        the term ``compensation'' has the meaning given such 
        term by section 414(s).
          (10) Distributions upon termination of plan.--
                  (A) In general.--An event described in this 
                subparagraph is the termination of the plan 
                without establishment or maintenance of another 
                defined contribution plan (other than an 
                employee stock ownership plan as defined in 
                section 4975(e)(7)).
                  (B) Distributions must be lump sum 
                distributions.--
                          (i) In general.--A termination shall 
                        not be treated as described in 
                        subparagraph (A) with respect to any 
                        employee unless the employee receives a 
                        lump sum distribution by reason of the 
                        termination.
                          (ii) Lump-sum distribution.--For 
                        purposes of this subparagraph, the term 
                        ``lump-sum distribution'' has the 
                        meaning given such term by section 
                        402(e)(4)(D) (without regard to 
                        subclauses (I), (II), (III), and (IV) 
                        of clause (i) thereof). Such term 
                        includes a distribution of an annuity 
                        contract from--
                                  (I) a trust which forms a 
                                part of a plan described in 
                                section 401(a) and which is 
                                exempt from tax under section 
                                501(a), or
                                  (II) an annuity plan 
                                described in section 403(a).
          (11) Adoption of simple plan to meet 
        nondiscrimination tests.--
                  (A) In general.--A cash or deferred 
                arrangement maintained by an eligible employer 
                shall be treated as meeting the requirements of 
                paragraph (3)(A)(ii) if such arrangement 
                meets--
                          (i) the contribution requirements of 
                        subparagraph (B),
                          (ii) the exclusive plan requirements

                        section 408(p)(3).
                  (B) Contribution requirements.--
                          (i) In general.--The requirements of 
                        this subparagraph are met if, under the 
                        arrangement--
                                  (I) an employee may elect to 
                                have the employer make elective 
                                contributions for the year on 
                                behalf of the employee to a 
                                trust under the plan in an 
                                amount which is expressed as a 
                                percentage of compensation of 
                                the employee but which in no 
                                event exceeds the amount in 
                                effect under section 
                                408(p)(2)(A)(ii),
                                  (II) the employer is required 
                                to make a matching contribution 
                                to the trust for the year in an 
                                amount equal to so much of the 
                                amount the employee elects 
                                under subclause (I) as does not 
                                exceed 3 percent of 
                                compensation for the year, and
                                  (III) no other contributions 
                                may be made other than 
                                contributions described in 
                                subclause (I) or (II).
                          (ii) Employer may elect 2-percent 
                        nonelective contribution.--An employer 
                        shall be treated as meeting the 
                        requirements of clause (i)(II) for any 
                        year if, in lieu of the contributions 
                        described in such clause, the employer 
                        elects (pursuant to the terms of the 
                        arrangement) to make nonelective 
                        contributions of 2 percent of 
                        compensation for each employee who is 
                        eligible to participate in the 
                        arrangement and who has at least $5,000 
                        of compensation from the employer for 
                        the year. If an employer makes an 
                        election under this subparagraph for 
                        any year, the employer shall notify 
                        employees of such election within a 
                        reasonable period of time before the 
                        60th day before the beginning of such 
                        year.
                          (iii) Administrative requirements.--
                                  (I) In general.--Rules 
                                similar to the rules of 
                                subparagraphs (B) and (C) of 
                                section 408(p)(5) shall apply 
                                for purposes of this 
                                subparagraph.

                                this subparagraph shall not be 
                                treated as met with respect to 
                                any year unless the employer 
                                notifies each employee eligible 
                                to participate, within a 
                                reasonable period of time 
                                before the 60th day before the 
                                beginning of such year (and, 
                                for the first year the employee 
                                is so eligible, the 60th day 
                                before the first day such 
                                employee is so eligible), of 
                                the rules similar to the rules 
                                of section 408(p)(5)(C) which 
                                apply by reason of subclause 
                                (I).
                  (C) Exclusive plan requirement.--The 
                requirements of this subparagraph are met for 
                any year to which this paragraph applies if no 
                contributions were made, or benefits were 
                accrued, for services during such year under 
                any qualified plan of the employer on behalf of 
                any employee eligible to participate in the 
                cash or deferred arrangement, other than 
                contributions described in subparagraph (B).

                          (i) Definitions.--For purposes of 
                        this paragraph, any term used in this 
                        paragraph which is also used in section 
                        408(p) shall have the meaning given 
                        such term by such section.
                          (ii) Coordination with top-heavy 
                        rules.--A plan meeting the requirements 
                        of this paragraph for any year shall 
                        not be treated as a top-heavy plan 
                        under section 416 for such year if such 
                        plan allows only contributions required 
                        under this paragraph.

                arrangement shall be treated as meeting the 
                requirements of paragraph (3)(A)(ii) if such 
                arrangement--
                          (i) meets the contribution 
                        requirements of subparagraph (B) or

                        subparagraph (D).
                  (B) Matching contributions.--
                          (i) In general.--The requirements of 
                        this subparagraph are met if, under the 
                        arrangement, the employer makes 
                        matching contributions on behalf of 
                        each employee who is not a highly 
                        compensated employee in an amount equal 
                        to--
                                  (I) 100 percent of the 
                                elective contributions of the 
                                employee to the extent such 
                                elective contributions do not 
                                exceed 3 percent of the 
                                employee's compensation, and
                                  (II) 50 percent of the 
                                elective contributions of the 
                                employee to the extent that 
                                such elective contributions 
                                exceed 3 percent but do not 
                                exceed 5 percent of the 
                                employee's compensation.
                          (ii) Rate for highly compensated 
                        employees.--The requirements of this 
                        subparagraph are not met if, under the 
                        arrangement, the rate of matching 
                        contribution with respect to any 
                        elective contribution of a highly 
                        compensated employee at any rate of 
                        elective contribution is greater than 
                        that with respect to an employee who is 
                        not a highly compensated employee.
                          (iii) Alternative plan designs.--If 
                        the rate of any matching contribution 
                        with respect to any rate of elective 
                        contribution is not equal to the 
                        percentage required under clause (i), 
                        an arrangement shall not be treated as 
                        failing to meet the requirements of 
                        clause (i) if--
                                  (I) the rate of an employer's 
                                matching contribution does not 
                                increase as an employee's rate 
                                of elective contributions 
                                increase, and
                                  (II) the aggregate amount of 
                                matching contributions at such 
                                rate of elective contribution 
                                is at least equal to the 
                                aggregate amount of matching 
                                contributions which would be 
                                made if matching contributions 
                                were made on the basis of the 
                                percentages described in clause 
                                (i).
                  (C) Nonelective contributions.--The 
                requirements of this subparagraph are met if, 
                under the arrangement, the employer is 
                required, without regard to whether the 
                employee makes an elective contribution or 
                employee contribution, to make a contribution 
                to a defined contribution plan on behalf of 
                each employee who is not a highly compensated 
                employee and who is eligible to participate in 
                the arrangement in an amount equal to at least 
                3 percent of the employee's compensation.
                  (D) Notice requirement.--An arrangement meets 
                the requirements of this paragraph if, under 
                the arrangement, each employee eligible to 
                participate is, within a reasonable period 
                before any year, given written notice of the 
                employee's rights and obligations under the 
                arrangement which--

                be made upon the hardship of an employee solely

                available loan under the plan.

                        respect to that portion of each

                        purposes of this subparagraph, the 
                        excess and base benefit percentages 
                        shall be computed in the same manner as 
                        the excess and base contribution 
                        percentages under paragraph (2)(B), 
                        except that such determination shall be

                        attributable to employer contributions 
                        rather than contributions.
                  (B) Offset plans.--In the case of an offset

                          (i) a participant's accrued benefit 
                        attributable to employer contributions 
                        (within the meaning of section 
                        411(c)(1)) may not be reduced (by 
                        reason of the offset) by more than the 
                        maximum offset allowance, and
                          (ii) benefits are based on average 
                        annual compensation.

                        attributable to any year of service 
                        with the employer taken into account 
                        under the plan, 3/4 of a percentage 
                        point, and
                          (ii) in the case of total benefits, 
                        3/4 of a percentage point, multiplied 
                        by the participant's years of service 
                        (not in excess of 35) with the employer 
                        taken into account under the plan.
                In no event shall the maximum excess allowance 
                exceed the base benefit percentage.
                  (B) Maximum offset allowance.--The maximum 
                offset allowance is equal to--
                          (i) in the case of benefits 
                        attributable to any year of service

                        participant's final average 
                        compensation, and
                          (ii) in the case of total benefits, 
                        3/4 percent of the participant's final 
                        average compensation, multiplied by the 
                        participant's years of service (not in 
                        excess of 35) with the employer taken 
                        into account under the plan.
                In no event shall the maximum offset allowance 
                exceed 50 percent of the benefit which would 
                have accrued without regard to the offset 
                reduction.

                                has an integration level in 
                                excess of covered compensation,

                        reductions under clause (i) shall be

                        the disparity permitted under this 
                        subsection with respect to any 
                        employee.
                For purposes of clause (i), unreduced benefits 
                shall not include benefits for disability 
                (within the meaning of section 223(d) of the 
                Social Security Act).
          (6) Special rule for plan maintained by railroads.--
        In determining whether a plan which includes employees 
        of a railroad employer who are entitled to benefits 
        under the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 meets the 
        requirements of this subsection, rules similar to the 
        rules set forth in this subsection shall apply. Such 
        rules shall take into account the employer-derived 
        portion of the employees' tier 2 railroad retirement 
        benefits and any supplemental annuity under the 
        Railroad Retirement Act of 1974.
  (m) Nondiscrimination test for matching contributions and 
employee contributions.--
          (1) In general.--A defined contribution plan shall be 
        treated as meeting the requirements of subsection 
        (a)(4) with respect to the amount of any matching 
        contribution or employee contribution for any plan year 
        only if the contribution percentage requirement of 
        paragraph (2) of this subsection is met for such plan 
        year.
          (2) Requirements.--
                  (A) Contribution percentage requirement.--A 
                plan meets the contribution percentage 
                requirement of this paragraph for any plan year 
                only if the contribution percentage for 
                eligible highly compensated employees for such 
                plan year does not exceed the greater of--
                          (i) 125 percent of such percentage 
                        for all other eligible employees for 
                        the preceding plan year, or
                          (ii) the lesser of 200 percent of 
                        such percentage for all other eligible 
                        employees for the preceding plan year, 
                        or such percentage for all other 
                        eligible employees for the preceding 
                        plan year plus 2 percentage points.
                This subparagraph may be applied by using the 
                plan year rather than the preceding plan year 
                if the employer so elects, except that if such 
                an election is made, it may not be changed 
                except as provided by the Secretary.
                  (B) Multiple plans treated as a single 
                plan.--If two or more plans of an employer to 
                which matching contributions, employee 
                contributions, or elective deferrals are made 
                are treated as one plan for purposes of section 
                410(b), such plans shall be treated as one plan 
                for purposes of this subsection. If a highly 
                compensated employee participates in two or 
                more plans of an employer to which 
                contributions to which this subsection applies 
                are made, all such contributions shall be 
                aggregated for purposes of this subsection.
          (3) Contribution percentage.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (2), the contribution percentage for a 
        specified group of employees for a plan year shall be 
        the average of the ratios (calculated separately for 
        each employee in such group) of--
                  (A) the sum of the matching contributions and 
                employee contributions paid under the plan on 
                behalf of each such employee for such plan 
                year, to
                  (B) the employee's compensation (within the 
                meaning of section 414(s)) for such plan year.
        Under regulations, an employer may elect to take into 
        account (in computing the contribution percentage) 
        elective deferrals and qualified nonelective 
        contributions under the plan or any other plan of the 
        employer. If matching contributions are taken into 
        account for purposes of subsection (k)(3)(A)(ii) for 
        any plan year, such contributions shall not be taken 
        into account under subparagraph (A) for such year. 
        Rules similar to the rules of subsection (k)(3)(E) 
        shall apply for purposes of this subsection.
          (4) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
                  (A) Matching contribution.--The term 
                ``matching contribution'' means--
                          (i) any employer contribution made to 
                        a defined contribution plan on behalf 
                        of an employee on account of an 
                        employee contribution made by such 
                        employee, and
                          (ii) any employer contribution made 
                        to a defined contribution plan on 
                        behalf of an employee on account of an 
                        employee's elective deferral.
                  (B) Elective deferral.--The term ``elective 
                deferral'' means any employer contribution 
                described in section 402(g)(3).
                  (C) Qualified nonelective contributions.--The 
                term ``qualified nonelective contribution'' 
                means any employer contribution (other than a 
                matching contribution) with respect to which--
                          (i) the employee may not elect to 
                        have the contribution paid to the 
                        employee in cash instead of being 
                        contributed to the plan, and
                          (ii) the requirements of 
                        subparagraphs (B) and (C) of subsection 
                        (k)(2) are met.
          (5) Employees taken into consideration.--
                  (A) In general.--Any employee who is eligible 
                to make an employee contribution (or, if the 
                employer takes elective contributions into 
                account, elective contributions) or to receive 
                a matching contribution under the plan being 
                tested under paragraph (1) shall be considered 
                an eligible employee for purposes of this 
                subsection.
                  (B) Certain nonparticipants.--If an employee 
                contribution is required as a condition of 
                participation in the plan, any employee who 
                would be a participant in the plan if such 
                employee made such a contribution shall be 
                treated as an eligible employee on behalf of 
                whom no employer contributions are made.
                  (C) Special rule for early participation.--If 
                an employer elects to apply section 
                410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether a plan 
                meets the requirements of section 410(b), the 
                employer may, in determining whether the plan 
                meets the requirements of paragraph (2), 
                exclude from consideration all eligible 
                employees (other than highly compensated 
                employees) who have not met the minimum age and 
                service requirements of section 410(a)(1)(A).
          (6) Plan not disqualified if excess aggregate 
        contributions distributed before end of following plan 
        year.--
                  (A) In general.--A plan shall not be treated 
                as failing to meet the requirements of 
                paragraph (1) for any plan year if, before the 
                close of the following plan year, the amount of 
                the excess aggregate contributions for such 
                plan year (and any income allocable to such 
                contributions through the end of such year) is 
                distributed (or, if forfeitable, is forfeited). 
                Such contributions (and such income) may be 
                distributed without regard to any other 
                provision of law.
                  (B) Excess aggregate contributions.--For 
                purposes of subparagraph (A), the term ``excess 
                aggregate contributions'' means, with respect 
                to any plan year, the excess of--
                          (i) the aggregate amount of the 
                        matching contributions and employee 
                        contributions (and any qualified 
                        nonelective contribution or elective 
                        contribution taken into account in 
                        computing the contribution percentage) 
                        actually made on behalf of highly 
                        compensated employees for such plan 
                        year, over
                          (ii) the maximum amount of such 
                        contributions permitted under the 
                        limitations of paragraph (2)(A) 
                        (determined by reducing contributions 
                        made on behalf of highly compensated 
                        employees in order of their 
                        contribution percentages beginning with 
                        the highest of such percentages).
                  (C) Method of distributing excess aggregate 
                contributions.--Any distribution of the excess 
                aggregate contributions for any plan year shall 
                be made to highly compensated employees on the 
                basis of the amount of contributions on behalf 
                of, or by, each such employee. Forfeitures of 
                excess aggregate contributions may not be 
                allocated to participants whose contributions 
                are reduced under this paragraph.
                  (D) Coordination with subsection (k) and 
                402(g).--The determination of the amount of 
                excess aggregate contributions with respect to 
                a plan shall be made after--
                          (i) first determining the excess 
                        deferrals (within the meaning of 
                        section 402(g)), and
                          (ii) then determining the excess 
                        contributions under subsection (k).
          (7) Treatment of distributions.--
                  (A) Additional tax of section 72(t) not 
                applicable.--No tax shall be imposed under 
                section 72(t) on any amount required to be 
                distributed under paragraph (6).
                  (B) Exclusion of employee contributions.--Any 
                distribution attributable to employee 
                contributions shall not be included in gross 
                income except to the extent attributable to 
                income on such contributions.
          (8) Highly compensated employee.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``highly compensated 
        employee'' has the meaning given to such term by 
        section 414(q).
          (9) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
        regulations as may be necessary to carry out the 
        purposes of this subsection and subsection (k), 
        including regulations permitting appropriate 
        aggregation of plans and contributions.
          (10) Alternative method of satisfying tests.--A 
        defined contribution plan shall be treated as meeting 
        the requirements of paragraph (2) with respect to 
        matching contributions if the plan--
                  (A) meets the contribution requirements of 
                subparagraph (B) of subsection (k)(11),
                  (B) meets the exclusive plan requirements of 
                subsection (k)(11)(C), and
                  (C) meets the vesting requirements of section 
                408(p)(3).
          (11) Additional alternative method of satisfying 
        tests.--
                  (A) In general.--A defined contribution plan 
                shall be treated as meeting the requirements of 
                paragraph (2) with respect to matching 
                contributions if the plan--
                          (i) meets the contribution 
                        requirements of subparagraph (B) or (C) 
                        of subsection (k)(12),
                          (ii) meets the notice requirements of 
                        subsection (k)(12)(D), and
                          (iii) meets the requirements of 
                        subparagraph (B).
                  (B) Limitation on matching contributions.--
                The requirements of this subparagraph are met 
                if--
                          (i) matching contributions on behalf 
                        of any employee may not be made with 
                        respect to an employee's contributions 
                        or elective deferrals in excess of 6 
                        percent of the employee's compensation,
                          (ii) the rate of an employer's 
                        matching contribution does not increase 
                        as the rate of an employee's 
                        contributions or elective deferrals 
                        increase, and
                          (iii) the matching contribution with 
                        respect to any highly compensated 
                        employee at any rate of an employee 
                        contribution or rate of elective 
                        deferral is not greater than that with 
                        respect to an employee who is not a 
                        highly compensated employee.
          (12) Alternative method for automatic contribution 
        arrangements.--A defined contribution plan shall be 
        treated as meeting the requirements of paragraph (2) 
        with respect to matching contributions if the plan--
                  (A) is a qualified automatic contribution 
                arrangement (as defined in subsection (k)(13)), 
                and
                  (B) meets the requirements of paragraph 
                (11)(B).
          (13) Cross reference.--For excise tax on certain 
        excess contributions, see section 4979.
  (n) Coordination with qualified domestic relations orders.--
The Secretary shall prescribe such rules or regulations as may 
be necessary to coordinate the requirements of subsection 
(a)(13)(B) and section 414(p) (and the regulations issued by 
the Secretary of Labor thereunder) with the other provisions of 
this chapter.
  (o) Cross reference.--For exemption from tax of a trust 
qualified under this section, see section 501(a).

SEC. 402. TAXABILITY OF BENEFICIARY OF EMPLOYEES' TRUST.

  (a) Taxability of beneficiary of exempt trust.--Except as 
otherwise provided in this section, any amount actually 
distributed to any distributee by any employees' trust 
described in section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under 
section 501(a) shall be taxable to the distributee, in the 
taxable year of the distributee in which distributed, under 
section 72 (relating to annuities).
  (b) Taxability of beneficiary of nonexempt trust.--
          (1) Contributions.--Contributions to an employees' 
        trust made by an employer during a taxable year of the 
        employer which ends with or within a taxable year of 
        the trust for which the trust is not exempt from tax 
        under section 501(a) shall be included in the gross 
        income of the employee in accordance with section 83 
        (relating to property transferred in connection with 
        performance of services), except that the value of the 
        employee's interest in the trust shall be substituted 
        for the fair market value of the property for purposes 
        of applying such section.
          (2) Distributions.--The amount actually distributed 
        or made available to any distributee by any trust 
        described in paragraph (1) shall be taxable to the 
        distributee, in the taxable year in which so 
        distributed or made available, under section 72 
        (relating to annuities), except that distributions of 
        income of such trust before the annuity starting date 
        (as defined in section 72(c)(4)) shall be included in 
        the gross income of the employee without regard to 
        section 72(e)(5) (relating to amounts not received as 
        annuities).
          (3) Grantor trusts.--A beneficiary of any trust 
        described in paragraph (1) shall not be considered the 
        owner of any portion of such trust under subpart E of 
        part I of subchapter J (relating to grantors and others 
        treated as substantial owners).
          (4) Failure to meet requirements of section 410(b)
                  (A) Highly compensated employees.--If 1 of 
                the reasons a trust is not exempt from tax 
                under section 501(a) is the failure of the plan 
                of which it is a part to meet the requirements 
                of section 401(a)(26) or 410(b), then a highly 
                compensated employee shall, in lieu of the 
                amount determined under paragraph (1) or (2) 
                include in gross income for the taxable year 
                with or within which the taxable year of the 
                trust ends an amount equal to the vested 
                accrued benefit of such employee (other than 
                the employee's investment in the contract) as 
                of the close of such taxable year of the trust.
                  (B) Failure to meet coverage tests.--If a 
                trust is not exempt from tax under section 
                501(a) for any taxable year solely because such 
                trust is part of a plan which fails to meet the 
                requirements of section 401(a)(26) or 410(b), 
                paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply by 
                reason of such failure to any employee who was 
                not a highly compensated employee during--
                          (i) such taxable year, or
                          (ii) any preceding period for which 
                        service was creditable to such employee 
                        under the plan.
                  (C) Highly compensated employee.--For 
                purposes of this paragraph, the term ``highly 
                compensated employee'' has the meaning given 
                such term by section 414(q).
  (c) Rules applicable to rollovers from exempt trusts.--
          (1) Exclusion from income.--If--
                  (A) any portion of the balance to the credit 
                of an employee in a qualified trust is paid to 
                the employee in an eligible rollover 
                distribution,
                  (B) the distributee transfers any portion of 
                the property received in such distribution to 
                an eligible retirement plan, and
                  (C) in the case of a distribution of property 
                other than money, the amount so transferred 
                consists of the property distributed,
        then such distribution (to the extent so transferred) 
        shall not be includible in gross income for the taxable 
        year in which paid.
          (2) Maximum amount which may be rolled over.--In the 
        case of any eligible rollover distribution, the maximum 
        amount transferred to which paragraph (1) applies shall 
        not exceed the portion of such distribution which is 
        includible in gross income (determined without regard 
        to paragraph (1)). The preceding sentence shall not 
        apply to such distribution to the extent--
                  (A) such portion is transferred in a direct 
                trustee-to-trustee transfer to a qualified 
                trust or to an annuity contract described in 
                section 403(b) and such trust or contract 
                provides for separate accounting for amounts so 
                transferred (and earnings thereon), including 
                separately accounting for the portion of such 
                distribution which is includible in gross 
                income and the portion of such distribution 
                which is not so includible, or
                  (B) such portion is transferred to an 
                eligible retirement plan described in clause 
                (i) or (ii) of paragraph (8)(B).
        In the case of a transfer described in subparagraph (A) 
        or (B), the amount transferred shall be treated as 
        consisting first of the portion of such distribution 
        that is includible in gross income (determined without 
        regard to paragraph (1)).
          (3) Time limit on transfers.--
                  (A) In general.--Except as provided in 
                subparagraphs (B) and (C), paragraph (1) shall 
                not apply to any transfer of a distribution 
                made after the 60th day following the day on 
                which the distributee received the property 
                distributed.
                  (B) Hardship exception.--The Secretary may 
                waive the 60-day requirement under subparagraph 
                (A) where the failure to waive such requirement 
                would be against equity or good conscience, 
                including casualty, disaster, or other events 
                beyond the reasonable control of the individual 
                subject to such requirement.
                  (C) Rollover of certain plan loan offset 
                amounts.--
                          (i) In general.--In the case of a 
                        qualified plan loan offset amount, 
                        paragraph (1) shall not apply to any 
                        transfer of such amount made after the 
                        due date (including extensions) for 
                        filing the return of tax for the 
                        taxable year in which such amount is 
                        treated as distributed from a qualified 
                        employer plan.
                          (ii) Qualified plan loan offset 
                        amount.--For purposes of this 
                        subparagraph, the term ``qualified plan 
                        loan offset amount'' means a plan loan 
                        offset amount which is treated as 
                        distributed from a qualified employer 
                        plan to a participant or beneficiary 
                        solely by reason of--
                                  (I) the termination of the 
                                qualified employer plan, or
                                  (II) the failure to meet the 
                                repayment terms of the loan 
                                from such plan because of the 
                                severance from employment of 
                                the participant.
                          (iii) Plan loan offset amount.--For 
                        purposes of clause (ii), the term 
                        ``plan loan offset amount'' means the 
                        amount by which the participant's 
                        accrued benefit under the plan is 
                        reduced in order to repay a loan from 
                        the plan.
                          (iv) Limitation.--This subparagraph 
                        shall not apply to any plan loan offset 
                        amount unless such plan loan offset 
                        amount relates to a loan to which 
                        section 72(p)(1) does not apply by 
                        reason of section 72(p)(2).
                          (v) Qualified employer plan.--For 
                        purposes of this subsection, the term 
                        ``qualified employer plan'' has the 
                        meaning given such term by section 
                        72(p)(4).
          (4) Eligible rollover distribution.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``eligible rollover 
        distribution'' means any distribution to an employee of 
        all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the 
        employee in a qualified trust; except that such term 
        shall not include--
                  (A) any distribution which is one of a series 
                of substantially equal periodic payments (not 
                less frequently than annually) made--
                          (i) for the life (or life expectancy) 
                        of the employee or the joint lives (or 
                        joint life expectancies) of the 
                        employee and the employee's designated 
                        beneficiary, or
                          (ii) for a specified period of 10 
                        years or more,
                  (B) any distribution to the extent such 
                distribution is required under section 
                401(a)(9), and
                  (C) any distribution which is made upon 
                hardship of the employee.
        If all or any portion of a distribution during 2009 is 
        treated as an eligible rollover distribution but would 
        not be so treated if the minimum distribution 
        requirements under section 401(a)(9) had applied during 
        2009, such distribution shall not be treated as an 
        eligible rollover distribution for purposes of section 
        401(a)(31) or 3405(c) or subsection (f) of this 
        section.
          (5) Transfer treated as rollover contribution under 
        section 408.--For purposes of this title, a transfer to 
        an eligible retirement plan described in clause (i) or 
        (ii) of paragraph (8)(B) resulting in any portion of a 
        distribution being excluded from gross income under 
        paragraph (1) shall be treated as a rollover 
        contribution described in section 408(d)(3).
          (6) Sales of distributed property.--For purposes of 
        this subsection--
                  (A) Transfer of proceeds from sale of 
                distributed property treated as transfer of 
                distributed property.--The transfer of an 
                amount equal to any portion of the proceeds 
                from the sale of property received in the 
                distribution shall be treated as the transfer 
                of property received in the distribution.
                  (B) Proceeds attributable to increase in 
                value.--The excess of fair market value of 
                property on sale over its fair market value on 
                distribution shall be treated as property 
                received in the distribution.
                  (C) Designation where amount of distribution 
                exceeds rollover contribution.--In any case 
                where part or all of the distribution consists 
                of property other than money--
                          (i) the portion of the money or other 
                        property which is to be treated as 
                        attributable to amounts not included in 
                        gross income, and
                          (ii) the portion of the money or 
                        other property which is to be treated 
                        as included in the rollover 
                        contribution,
                shall be determined on a ratable basis unless 
                the taxpayer designates otherwise. Any 
                designation under this subparagraph for a 
                taxable year shall be made not later than the 
                time prescribed by law for filing the return 
                for such taxable year (including extensions 
                thereof). Any such designation, once made, 
                shall be irrevocable.
                  (D) Nonrecognition of gain or loss.--No gain 
                or loss shall be recognized on any sale 
                described in subparagraph (A) to the extent 
                that an amount equal to the proceeds is 
                transferred pursuant to paragraph (1).
          (7) Special rule for frozen deposits.--
                  (A) In general.--The 60-day period described 
                in paragraph (3) shall not--
                          (i) include any period during which 
                        the amount transferred to the employee 
                        is a frozen deposit, or
                          (ii) end earlier than 10 days after 
                        such amount ceases to be a frozen 
                        deposit.
                  (B) Frozen deposits.--For purposes of this 
                subparagraph, the term ``frozen deposit'' means 
                any deposit which may not be withdrawn because 
                of--
                          (i) the bankruptcy or insolvency of 
                        any financial institution, or
                          (ii) any requirement imposed by the 
                        State in which such institution is 
                        located by reason of the bankruptcy or 
                        insolvency (or threat thereof) of 1 or 
                        more financial institutions in such 
                        State.
                A deposit shall not be treated as a frozen 
                deposit unless on at least 1 day during the 60-
                day period described in paragraph (3) (without 
                regard to this paragraph) such deposit is 
                described in the preceding sentence.
          (8) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
                  (A) Qualified trust.--The term ``qualified 
                trust'' means an employees' trust described in 
                section 401(a) which is exempt from tax under 
                section 501(a).
                  (B) Eligible retirement plan.--The term 
                ``eligible retirement plan'' means--
                          (i) an individual retirement account 
                        described in section 408(a),
                          (ii) an individual retirement annuity 
                        described in section 408(b) (other than 
                        an endowment contract),
                          (iii) a qualified trust,
                          (iv) an annuity plan described in

                If any portion of an eligible rollover 
                distribution is attributable to payments or 
                distributions from a designated Roth account 
                (as defined in section 402A), an eligible 
                retirement plan with respect to such portion 
                shall include only another designated Roth 
                account and a Roth IRA.
          (9) Rollover where spouse receives distribution after 
        death of employee.--If any distribution attributable to 
        an employee is paid to the spouse of the employee after 
        the employee's death, the preceding provisions of this 
        subsection shall apply to such distribution in the same 
        manner as if the spouse were the employee.

        clause (v) of paragraph (8)(B) agrees to separately 
        account for amounts rolled into such plan from eligible 
        retirement plans not described in such clause, the plan 
        described in such clause may not accept transfers or 
        rollovers from such retirement plans.
          (11) Distributions to inherited individual retirement 
        plan of nonspouse beneficiary.--
                  (A) In general.--If, with respect to any 
                portion of a distribution from an eligible 
                retirement plan described in paragraph 
                (8)(B)(iii) of a deceased employee, a direct 
                trustee-to-trustee transfer is made to an 
                individual retirement plan described in clause 
                (i) or (ii) of paragraph (8)(B) established for 
                the purposes of receiving the distribution on 
                behalf of an individual who is a designated 
                beneficiary (as defined by section 
                401(a)(9)(E)) of the employee and who is not 
                the surviving spouse of the employee--
                          (i) the transfer shall be treated as 
                        an eligible rollover distribution,
                          (ii) the individual retirement plan 
                        shall be treated as an inherited 
                        individual retirement account or 
                        individual retirement annuity (within 
                        the meaning of section 408(d)(3)(C)) 
                        for purposes of this title, and
                          (iii) section 401(a)(9)(B) (other 
                        than clause (iv) thereof) shall apply 
                        to such plan.
                  (B) Certain trusts treated as 
                beneficiaries.--For purposes of this paragraph, 
                to the extent provided in rules prescribed by 
                the Secretary, a trust maintained for the 
                benefit of one or more designated beneficiaries 
                shall be treated in the same manner as a 
                designated beneficiary.
  (d) Taxability of beneficiary of certain foreign situs 
trusts.--For purposes of subsections (a), (b), and (c), a stock 
bonus, pension, or profit-sharing trust which would qualify for 
exemption from tax under section 501(a) except for the fact 
that it is a trust created or organized outside the United 
States shall be treated as if it were a trust exempt from tax 
under section 501(a).
  (e) Other rules applicable to exempt trusts.--
          (1) Alternate payees.--
                  (A) Alternate payee treated as distributee.--
                For purposes of subsection (a) and section 72, 
                an alternate payee who is the spouse or former 
                spouse of the participant shall be treated as 
                the distributee of any distribution or payment 
                made to the alternate payee under a qualified 
                domestic relations order (as defined in section 
                414(p)).
                  (B) Rollovers.--If any amount is paid or 
                distributed to an alternate payee who is the 
                spouse or former spouse of the participant by 
                reason of any qualified domestic relations 
                order (within the meaning of section 414(p)), 
                subsection (c) shall apply to such distribution 
                in the same manner as if such alternate payee 
                were the employee.
          (2) Distributions by United States to nonresident 
        aliens.--The amount includible under subsection (a) in 
        the gross income of a nonresident alien with respect to 
        a distribution made by the United States in respect of 
        services performed by an employee of the United States 
        shall not exceed an amount which bears the same ratio 
        to the amount includible in gross income without regard 
        to this paragraph as--
                  (A) the aggregate basic pay paid by the 
                United States to such employee for such 
                services, reduced by the amount of such basic 
                pay which was not includible in gross income by 
                reason of being from sources without the United 
                States, bears to
                  (B) the aggregate basic pay paid by the 
                United States to such employee for such 
                services.
        In the case of distributions under the civil service 
        retirement laws, the term ``basic pay'' shall have the 
        meaning provided in section 8331(3) of title 5, United 
        States Code.
          (3) Cash or deferred arrangements.--For purposes of 
        this title, contributions made by an employer on behalf 
        of an employee to a trust which is a part of a 
        qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in 
        section 401(k)(2)) or which is part of a salary 
        reduction agreement under section 403(b) shall not be 
        treated as distributed or made available to the 
        employee nor as contributions made to the trust by the 
        employee merely because the arrangement includes 
        provisions under which the employee has an election 
        whether the contribution will be made to the trust or 
        received by the employee in cash.
          (4) Net unrealized appreciation.--
                  (A) Amounts attributable to employee 
                contributions.--For purposes of subsection (a) 
                and section 72, in the case of a distribution 
                other than a lump sum distribution, the amount 
                actually distributed to any distributee from a 
                trust described in subsection (a) shall not 
                include any net unrealized appreciation in 
                securities of the employer corporation 
                attributable to amounts contributed by the 
                employee (other than deductible employee 
                contributions within the meaning of section 
                72(o)(5)). This subparagraph shall not apply to 
                a distribution to which subsection (c) applies.
                  (B) Amounts attributable to employer 
                contributions.--For purposes of subsection (a) 
                and section 72, in the case of any lump sum 
                distribution which includes securities of the 
                employer corporation, there shall be excluded 
                from gross income the net unrealized 
                appreciation attributable to that part of the 
                distribution which consists of securities of 
                the employer corporation. In accordance with 
                rules prescribed by the Secretary, a taxpayer 
                may elect, on the return of tax on which a lump 
                sum distribution is required to be included, 
                not to have this subparagraph apply to such 
                distribution.
                  (C) Determination of amounts and 
                adjustments.--For purposes of subparagraphs (A) 
                and (B), net unrealized appreciation and the 
                resulting adjustments to basis shall be 
                determined in accordance with regulations 
                prescribed by the Secretary.
                  (D) Lump-sum distribution.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph--
                          (i) In general.--The term ``lump-sum 
                        distribution'' means the distribution 
                        or payment within one taxable year of 
                        the recipient of the balance to the 
                        credit of an employee which becomes 
                        payable to the recipient--
                                  (I) on account of the 
                                employee's death,
                                  (II) after the employee 
                                attains age 59 1/2,
                                  (III) on account of the 
                                employee's separation from 
                                service, or
                                  (IV) after the employee has 
                                become disabled (within the 
                                meaning of section 72(m)(7)),
                from a trust which forms a part of a plan 
                described in section 401(a) and which is exempt 
                from tax under section 501 or from a plan 
                described in section 403(a). Subclause (III) of 
                this clause shall be applied only with respect 
                to an individual who is an employee without 
                regard to section 401(c)(1), and subclause (IV) 
                shall be applied only with respect to an 
                employee within the meaning of section 
                401(c)(1). For purposes of this clause, a 
                distribution to two or more trusts shall be 
                treated as a distribution to one recipient. For 
                purposes of this paragraph, the balance to the 
                credit of the employee does not include the 
                accumulated deductible employee contributions 
                under the plan (within the meaning of section 
                72(o)(5)).
                          (ii) Aggregation of certain trusts 
                        and plans.--For purposes of determining 
                        the balance to the credit of an 
                        employee under clause (i)--
                                  (I) all trusts which are part 
                                of a plan shall be treated as a 
                                single trust, all pension plans 
                                maintained by the employer 
                                shall be treated as a single 
                                plan, all profit-sharing plans 
                                maintained by the employer 
                                shall be treated as a single 
                                plan, and all stock bonus plans 
                                maintained by the employer 
                                shall be treated as a single 
                                plan, and

                                qualified trusts under section 
                                401(a) and annuity contracts 
                                which do not satisfy the 
                                requirements of section 
                                404(a)(2) shall not be taken 
                                into account.
                          (iii) Community property laws.--The 
                        provisions of this paragraph shall be 
                        applied without regard to community 
                        property laws.
                          (iv) Amounts subject to penalty.--

                        of section 72(m)(5) to the extent that 
                        section 72(m)(5) applies to such 
                        amounts.
                          (v) Balance to credit of employee not 
                        to include amounts payable under 
                        qualified domestic relations order.--
                        For purposes of this paragraph, the 
                        balance to the credit of an employee 
                        shall not include any amount payable to 
                        an alternate payee under a qualified 
                        domestic relations order (within the 
                        meaning of section 414(p)).
                          (vi) Transfers to cost-of-living 
                        arrangement not treated as 
                        distribution.--For purposes of this 
                        paragraph, the balance to the credit of 
                        an employee under a defined 
                        contribution plan shall not include any

                        of-living arrangement (within the 
                        meaning of section 415(k)(2)) under a 
                        defined benefit plan.
                          (vii) Lump-sum distributions of

                        or payment of the balance to the credit 
                        of an employee would be treated as a 
                        lump-sum distribution, then, for 
                        purposes of this paragraph, the payment

                        an alternate payee who is the spouse or 
                        former spouse of the employee shall be 
                        treated as a lump-sum distribution. For 
                        purposes of this clause, the balance to 
                        the credit of the alternate payee shall 
                        not include any amount payable to the

                recipient may have the distribution directly 
                transferred to an eligible retirement plan and 
                that the automatic distribution by direct

                distributions from the plan making such 
                distribution.
          (2) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
                  (A) Eligible rollover distribution.--The term

                subparagraph (A) of section 403(b)(8), or

                403(b)(8)(B), or 457(e)(16)(B), if the 
                requirements of subsection (c)(11) were

                ``eligible retirement plan'' has the meaning 
                given such term by subsection (c)(8)(B).
  (g) Limitation on exclusion for elective deferrals.--
          (1) In general.--
                  (A) Limitation.--Notwithstanding subsections 
                (e)(3) and (h)(1)(B), the elective deferrals of 
                any individual for any taxable year shall be 
                included in such individual's gross income to 
                the extent the amount of such deferrals for the 
                taxable year exceeds the applicable dollar 
                amount. The preceding sentence shall not apply 
                to the portion of such excess as does not 
                exceed the designated Roth contributions of the 
                individual for the taxable year.

                subparagraph (A), in the case of an eligible 
                participant (as defined in section 414(v)), 
                gross income shall not include elective 
                deferrals in excess of the applicable dollar 
                amount under subparagraph (B) to the extent 
                that the amount of such elective deferrals does 
                not exceed the applicable dollar amount under 
                section 414(v)(2)(B)(i) for the taxable year 
                (without regard to the treatment of the 
                elective deferrals by an applicable employer 
                plan under section 414(v)).
          (2) Distribution of excess deferrals.--
                  (A) In general.--If any amount (hereinafter 
                in this paragraph referred to as ``excess 
                deferrals'') is included in the gross income of 
                an individual under paragraph (1) (or would be

                any taxable year--
                          (i) not later than the 1st March 1 
                        following the close of the taxable 
                        year, the individual may allocate the 
                        amount of such excess deferrals among 
                        the plans under which the deferrals 
                        were made and may notify each such plan 
                        of the portion allocated to it, and
                          (ii) not later than the 1st April 15 
                        following the close of the taxable 
                        year, each such plan may distribute to 
                        the individual the amount allocated to 
                        it under clause (i) (and any income 
                        allocable to such amount through the 
                        end of such taxable year).
                The distribution described in clause (ii) may 
                be made notwithstanding any other provision of 
                law.
                  (B) Treatment of distribution under section 
                401(k).--Except to the extent provided under 
                rules prescribed by the Secretary, 
                notwithstanding the distribution of any portion 
                of an excess deferral from a plan under 
                subparagraph (A)(ii), such portion shall, for 
                purposes of applying section 401(k)(3)(A)(ii), 
                be treated as an employer contribution.
                  (C) Taxation of distribution.--In the case of 
                a distribution to which subparagraph (A) 
                applies--
                          (i) except as provided in clause 
                        (ii), such distribution shall not be 
                        included in gross income, and
                          (ii) any income on the excess 
                        deferral shall, for purposes of this 
                        chapter, be treated as earned and 
                        received in the taxable year in which 
                        such income is distributed.
                No tax shall be imposed under section 72(t) on 
                any distribution described in the preceding 
                sentence.
                  (D) Partial distributions.--If a plan 
                distributes only a portion of any excess 
                deferral and income allocable thereto, such 
                portion shall be treated as having been 
                distributed ratably from the excess deferral 
                and the income.
          (3) Elective deferrals.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term ``elective deferrals'' means, with 
        respect to any taxable year, the sum of--
                  (A) any employer contribution under a 
                qualified cash or deferred arrangement (as 
                defined in section 401(k)) to the extent not 
                includible in gross income for the taxable year 
                under subsection (e)(3) (determined without 
                regard to this subsection),
                  (B) any employer contribution to the extent 
                not includible in gross income for the taxable 
                year under subsection (h)(1)(B) (determined 
                without regard to this subsection),
                  (C) any employer contribution to purchase an 
                annuity contract under section 403(b) under a 
                salary reduction agreement (within the meaning 
                of section 3121(a)(5)(D)), and
                  (D) any elective employer contribution under 
                section 408(p)(2)(A)(i).
        An employer contribution shall not be treated as an 
        elective deferral described in subparagraph (C) if 
        under the salary reduction agreement such contribution 
        is made pursuant to a one-time irrevocable election 
        made by the employee at the time of initial eligibility 
        to participate in the agreement or is made pursuant to 
        a similar arrangement involving a one-time irrevocable 
        election specified in regulations.
          (4) Cost-of-living adjustment.--In the case of 
        taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, the 
        Secretary shall adjust the $15,000 amount under 
        paragraph (1)(B) at the same time and in the same 
        manner as under section 415(d), except that the base 
        period shall be the calendar quarter beginning July 1, 
        2005, and any increase under this paragraph which is 
        not a multiple of $500 shall be rounded to the next 
        lowest multiple of $500.
          (5) Disregard of community property laws.--This 
        subsection shall be applied without regard to community 
        property laws.
          (6) Coordination with section 72.--For purposes of 
        applying section 72, any amount includible in gross 
        income for any taxable year under this subsection but 
        which is not distributed from the plan during such 
        taxable year shall not be treated as investment in the 
        contract.
          (7) Special rule for certain organizations.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of a qualified 
                employee of a qualified organization, with 
                respect to employer contributions described in 
                paragraph (3)(C) made by such organization, the 
                limitation of paragraph (1) for any taxable 
                year shall be increased by whichever of the 
                following is the least:

                          (ii) $15,000 reduced by the sum of--
                                  (I) the amounts not included 
                                in gross income for prior 
                                taxable years by reason of this 
                                paragraph, plus
                                  (II) the aggregate amount of 
                                designated Roth contributions

                        by the number of years of service of 
                        the employee with the qualified 
                        organization over the employer 
                        contributions described in paragraph 
                        (3) made by the organization on behalf 
                        of such employee for prior taxable 
                        years (determined in the manner 
                        prescribed by the Secretary).
                  (B) Qualified organization.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph, the term ``qualified 
                organization'' means any educational

                agency, health and welfare service agency, 
                church, or convention or association of 
                churches. Such term includes any organization 
                described in section 414(e)(3)(B)(ii). Terms 
                used in this subparagraph shall have the same 
                meaning as when used in section 415(c)(4) (as 
                in effect before the enactment of the Economic 
                Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 
                2001).

                means any employee who has completed 15 years 
                of service with the qualified organization.
                  (D) Years of service.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, the term ``years of service'' has

          (8) Matching contributions on behalf of self-employed 
        individuals not treated as elective employer 
        contributions.--Except as provided in section 
        401(k)(3)(D)(ii), any matching contribution described 
        in section 401(m)(4)(A) which is made on behalf of a 
        self-employed individual (as defined in section 401(c)) 
        shall not be treated as an elective employer 
        contribution under a qualified cash or deferred 
        arrangement (as defined in section 401(k)) for purposes 
        of this title.
  (h) Special rules for simplified employee pensions.--For 
purposes of this chapter--
          (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
        contributions made by an employer on behalf of an 
        employee to an individual retirement plan pursuant to a 
        simplified employee pension (as defined in section 
        408(k))--
                  (A) shall not be treated as distributed or 
                made available to the employee or as 
                contributions made by the employee, and
                  (B) if such contributions are made pursuant 
                to an arrangement under section 408(k)(6) under 
                which an employee may elect to have the 
                employer make contributions to the simplified 
                employee pension on behalf of the employee, 
                shall not be treated as distributed or made 
                available or as contributions made by the 
                employee merely because the simplified employee 
                pension includes provisions for such election.
          (2) Limitations on employer contributions.--
        Contributions made by an employer to a simplified 
        employee pension with respect to an employee for any 
        year shall be treated as distributed or made available 
        to such employee and as contributions made by the 
        employee to the extent such contributions exceed the 
        lesser of--
                  (A) 25 percent of the compensation (within 
                the meaning of section 414(s)) from such 
                employer includible in the employee's gross 
                income for the year (determined without regard 
                to the employer contributions to the simplified 
                employee pension), or
                  (B) the limitation in effect under section 
                415(c)(1)(A), reduced in the case of any highly 
                compensated employee (within the meaning of 
                section 414(q)) by the amount taken into 
                account with respect to such employee under 
                section 408(k)(3)(D).
          (3) Distributions.--Any amount paid or distributed 
        out of an individual retirement plan pursuant to a 
        simplified employee pension shall be included in gross 
        income by the payee or distributee, as the case may be, 
        in accordance with the provisions of section 408(d).
  (i) Treatment of self-employed individuals.--For purposes of 
this section, except as otherwise provided in subsection 
(e)(4)(D)(i), the term ``employee'' includes a self-employed 
individual (as defined in section 401(c)(1)(B)) and the 
employer of such individual shall be the person treated as his 
employer under section 401(c)(4).
  (j) Effect of disposition of stock by plan on net unrealized 
appreciation.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of subsection (e)(4), 
        in the case of any transaction to which this subsection 
        applies, the determination of net unrealized 
        appreciation shall be made without regard to such 
        transaction.
          (2) Transaction to which subsection applies.--This 
        subsection shall apply to any transaction in which--
                  (A) the plan trustee exchanges the plan's 
                securities of the employer corporation for 
                other such securities, or
                  (B) the plan trustee disposes of securities 
                of the employer corporation and uses the 
                proceeds of such disposition to acquire 
                securities of the employer corporation within 
                90 days (or such longer period as the Secretary 
                may prescribe), except that this subparagraph 
                shall not apply to any employee with respect to 
                whom a distribution of money was made during 
                the period after such disposition and before 
                such acquisition.
  (k) Treatment of simple retirement accounts.--Rules similar 
to the rules of paragraphs (1) and (3) of subsection (h) shall 
apply to contributions and distributions with respect to a 
simple retirement account under section 408(p).

long-term care insurance.--
          (1) In general.--In the case of an employee who is an 
        eligible retired public safety officer who makes the 
        election described in paragraph (6) with respect to any 
        taxable year of such employee, gross income of such 
        employee for such taxable year does not include any 
        distribution from an eligible retirement plan 
        maintained by the employer described in paragraph 
        (4)(B) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such 
        distributions does not exceed the amount paid by such 
        employee for qualified health insurance premiums for 
        such taxable year.
          (2) Limitation.--The amount which may be excluded 
        from gross income for the taxable year by reason of 
        paragraph (1) shall not exceed $3,000.
          (3) Distributions must otherwise be includible.--
                  (A) In general.--An amount shall be treated 
                as a distribution for purposes of paragraph (1) 
                only to the extent that such amount would be 
                includible in gross income without regard to 
                paragraph (1).
                  (B) Application of section 72.--
                Notwithstanding section 72, in determining the 
                extent to which an amount is treated as a 
                distribution for purposes of subparagraph (A), 
                the aggregate amounts distributed from an 
                eligible retirement plan in a taxable year (up 
                to the amount excluded under paragraph (1)) 
                shall be treated as includible in gross income 
                (without regard to subparagraph (A)) to the 
                extent that such amount does not exceed the 
                aggregate amount which would have been so 
                includible if all amounts to the credit of the 
                eligible public safety officer in all eligible 
                retirement plans maintained by the employer 
                described in paragraph (4)(B) were distributed 
                during such taxable year and all such plans 
                were treated as 1 contract for purposes of 
                determining under section 72 the aggregate 
                amount which would have been so includible. 
                Proper adjustments shall be made in applying 
                section 72 to other distributions in such 
                taxable year and subsequent taxable years.

                separation from service with respect to amounts 
                not distributed from an eligible retirement 
                plan to have amounts from such plan distributed 
                in order to pay for qualified health insurance 
                premiums.
                  (B) Special rule.--A plan shall not be 
                treated as violating the requirements of 
                section 401, or as engaging in a prohibited 
                transaction for purposes of section 503(b), 
                merely because it provides for an election with 
                respect to amounts that are otherwise 
                distributable under the plan or merely because 
                of a distribution made pursuant to an election 
                described in subparagraph (A).
          (7) Coordination with medical expense deduction.--The 
        amounts excluded from gross income under paragraph (1)

        costs of self-employed individuals.--The amounts 
        excluded from gross income under paragraph (1) shall 
        not be taken into account under section 162(l).

                        under subparagraph (A) for a taxable 
                        year, the tax imposed by this chapter 
                        for the taxable year shall be increased 
                        by the sum of--
                                  (I) the amount of interest 
                                determined under clause (ii), 
                                and

                        clause (i), the interest determined 
                        under this clause for any taxable year 
                        is the amount of interest at the 
                        underpayment rate plus 1 percentage 
                        point on the underpayments that would 
                        have occurred had the deferred 
                        compensation been includible in gross 
                        income for the taxable year in which 
                        first deferred or, if later, the first 
                        taxable year in which such deferred 
                        compensation is not subject to a 
                        substantial risk of forfeiture.

                  (A) In general.--The requirements of this 
                paragraph are met if the plan provides that

                          (i) separation from service as 
                        determined by the Secretary (except as 
                        provided in subparagraph (B)(i)),
                          (ii) the date the participant becomes 
                        disabled (within the meaning of 
                        subparagraph (C)),
                          (iii) death,

                        plan at the date of the deferral of 
                        such compensation,
                          (v) to the extent provided by the 
                        Secretary, a change in the ownership or

                        unforeseeable emergency.
                  (B) Special rules.--
                          (i) Specified employees.--In the case 
                        of any specified employee, the 
                        requirement of subparagraph (A)(i) is 
                        met only if distributions may not be 
                        made before the date which is 6 months 
                        after the date of separation from 
                        service (or, if earlier, the date of 
                        death of the employee). For purposes of 
                        the preceding sentence, a specified 
                        employee is a key employee (as defined

                        paragraph (5) thereof) of a corporation 
                        any stock in which is publicly traded

                                ``unforeseeable emergency'' 
                                means a severe financial 
                                hardship to the participant 
                                resulting from an illness or 
                                accident of the participant, 
                                the participant's spouse, or a 
                                dependent (as defined in 
                                [section 152(a)] section 
                                7706(a)) of the participant, 
                                loss of the participant's 
                                property due to casualty, or 
                                other similar extraordinary and 
                                unforeseeable circumstances 
                                arising as a result of events 
                                beyond the control of the 
                                participant.
                                  (II) Limitation on 
                                distributions.--The requirement 
                                of subparagraph (A)(vi) is met 
                                only if, as determined under 
                                regulations of the Secretary, 
                                the amounts distributed with 
                                respect to an emergency do not 
                                exceed the amounts necessary to 
                                satisfy such emergency plus 
                                amounts necessary to pay taxes 
                                reasonably anticipated as a 
                                result of the distribution, 
                                after taking into account the 
                                extent to which such hardship 
                                is or may be relieved through 
                                reimbursement or compensation 
                                by insurance or otherwise or by 
                                liquidation of the 
                                participant's assets (to the 
                                extent the liquidation of such 
                                assets would not itself cause 
                                severe financial hardship).
                  (C) Disabled.--For purposes of subparagraph 
                (A)(ii), a participant shall be considered 
                disabled if the participant--
                          (i) is unable to engage in any 
                        substantial gainful activity by reason 
                        of any medically determinable physical 
                        or mental impairment which can be 
                        expected to result in death or can be 
                        expected to last for a continuous 
                        period of not less than 12 months, or
                          (ii) is, by reason of any medically 
                        determinable physical or mental 
                        impairment which can be expected to 
                        result in death or can be expected to 
                        last for a continuous period of not 
                        less than 12 months, receiving income 
                        replacement benefits for a period of 
                        not less than 3 months under an 
                        accident and health plan covering 
                        employees of the participant's 
                        employer.
          (3) Acceleration of benefits.--The requirements of 
        this paragraph are met if the plan does not permit the 
        acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment 
        under the plan, except as provided in regulations by 
        the Secretary.
          (4) Elections.--
                  (A) In general.--The requirements of this 
                paragraph are met if the requirements of 
                subparagraphs (B) and (C) are met.

                          (i) In general.--The requirements of 
                        this subparagraph are met if the plan 
                        provides that compensation for services 
                        performed during a taxable year may be 
                        deferred at the participant's election 
                        only if the election to defer such 
                        compensation is made not later than the 
                        close of the preceding taxable year or 
                        at such other time as provided in

                        the case of the first year in which a 
                        participant becomes eligible to 
                        participate in the plan, such election 
                        may be made with respect to services to 
                        be performed subsequent to the election 
                        within 30 days after the date the 
                        participant becomes eligible to 
                        participate in such plan.
                          (iii) Performance-based 
                        compensation.--In the case of any 
                        performance-based compensation based on 
                        services performed over a period of at 
                        least 12 months, such election may be 
                        made no later than 6 months before the 
                        end of the period.
                  (C) Changes in time and form of 
                distribution.--The requirements of this 
                subparagraph are met if, in the case of a plan 
                which permits under a subsequent election a 
                delay in a payment or a change in the form of 
                payment--
                          (i) the plan requires that such 
                        election may not take effect until at 
                        least 12 months after the date on which 
                        the election is made,
                          (ii) in the case of an election 
                        related to a payment not described in 
                        clause (ii), (iii), or (vi) of 
                        paragraph (2)(A), the plan requires 
                        that the payment with respect to which 
                        such election is made be deferred for a 
                        period of not less than 5 years from 
                        the date such payment would otherwise 
                        have been made, and
                          (iii) the plan requires that any 
                        election related to a payment described 
                        in paragraph (2)(A)(iv) may not be made 
                        less than 12 months prior to the date 
                        of the first scheduled payment under 
                        such paragraph.
  (b) Rules relating to funding.--
          (1) Offshore property in a trust.--In the case of 
        assets set aside (directly or indirectly) in a trust 
        (or other arrangement determined by the Secretary) for 
        purposes of paying deferred compensation under a 
        nonqualified deferred compensation plan, for purposes 
        of section 83 such assets shall be treated as property 
        transferred in connection with the performance of 
        services whether or not such assets are available to 
        satisfy claims of general creditors--
                  (A) at the time set aside if such assets (or 
                such trust or other arrangement) are located 
                outside of the United States, or
                  (B) at the time transferred if such assets 
                (or such trust or other arrangement) are 
                subsequently transferred outside of the United 
                States.
        This paragraph shall not apply to assets located in a 
        foreign jurisdiction if substantially all of the 
        services to which the nonqualified deferred 
        compensation relates are performed in such 
        jurisdiction.
          (2) Employer's financial health.--In the case of 
        compensation deferred under a nonqualified deferred 
        compensation plan, there is a transfer of property 
        within the meaning of section 83 with respect to such 
        compensation as of the earlier of--
                  (A) the date on which the plan first provides 
                that assets will become restricted to the 
                provision of benefits under the plan in 
                connection with a change in the employer's 
                financial health, or
                  (B) the date on which assets are so 
                restricted, whether or not such assets are 
                available to satisfy claims of general 
                creditors.
          (3) Treatment of employer's defined benefit plan 
        during restricted period.--
                  (A) In general.--If--
                          (i) during any restricted period with 
                        respect to a single-employer defined 
                        benefit plan, assets are set aside or 
                        reserved (directly or indirectly) in a 
                        trust (or other arrangement as 
                        determined by the Secretary) or 
                        transferred to such a trust or other 
                        arrangement for purposes of paying 
                        deferred compensation of an applicable 
                        covered employee under a nonqualified 
                        deferred compensation plan of the plan 
                        sponsor or member of a controlled group 
                        which includes the plan sponsor, or
                          (ii) a nonqualified deferred 
                        compensation plan of the plan sponsor 
                        or member of a controlled group which 
                        includes the plan sponsor provides that 
                        assets will become restricted to the 
                        provision of benefits under the plan to 
                        an applicable covered employee in 
                        connection with such restricted period 
                        (or other similar financial measure 
                        determined by the Secretary) with 
                        respect to the defined benefit plan, or 
                        assets are so restricted,
                such assets shall, for purposes of section 83, 
                be treated as property transferred in 
                connection with the performance of services 
                whether or not such assets are available to 
                satisfy claims of general creditors. Clause (i) 
                shall not apply with respect to any assets 
                which are so set aside before the restricted 
                period with respect to the defined benefit 
                plan.
                  (B) Restricted period.--For purposes of this 
                section, the term ``restricted period'' means, 
                with respect to any plan described in 
                subparagraph (A)--
                          (i) any period during which the plan 
                        is in at-risk status (as defined in 
                        section 430(i)),
                          (ii) any period the plan sponsor is a 
                        debtor in a case under title 11, United 
                        States Code, or similar Federal or 
                        State law, and
                          (iii) the 12-month period beginning 
                        on the date which is 6 months before 
                        the termination date of the plan if, as 
                        of the termination date, the plan is 
                        not sufficient for benefit liabilities 
                        (within the meaning of section 4041 of 
                        the Employee Retirement Income Security 
                        Act of 1974).
                  (C) Special rule for payment of taxes on 
                deferred compensation included in income.--If 
                an employer provides directly or indirectly for 
                the payment of any Federal, State, or local 
                income taxes with respect to any compensation 
                required to be included in gross income by 
                reason of this paragraph--
                          (i) interest shall be imposed under 
                        subsection (a)(1)(B)(i)(I) on the 
                        amount of such payment in the same 
                        manner as if such payment was part of 
                        the deferred compensation to which it 
                        relates,
                          (ii) such payment shall be taken into 
                        account in determining the amount of 
                        the additional tax under subsection 
                        (a)(1)(B)(i)(II) in the same manner as 
                        if such payment was part of the 
                        deferred compensation to which it 
                        relates, and
                          (iii) no deduction shall be allowed 
                        under this title with respect to such 
                        payment.
                  (D) Other definitions.--For purposes of this 
                section--

                                plan sponsor,
                                  (II) covered employee of a 
                                member of a controlled group 
                                which includes the plan 
                                sponsor, and
                                  (III) former employee who was 
                                a covered employee at the time 
                                of termination of employment 
                                with the plan sponsor or a 
                                member of a controlled group 
                                which includes the plan 
                                sponsor.
                          (ii) Covered employee.--The term

                        individual described in section 
                        162(m)(3) or an individual subject to 
                        the requirements of section 16(a) of 
                        the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
          (4) Income inclusion for offshore trusts and 
        employer's financial health.--For each taxable year 
        that assets treated as transferred under this 
        subsection remain set aside in a trust or other 
        arrangement subject to paragraph (1), (2), or (3), any 
        increase in value in, or earnings with respect to, such 
        assets shall be treated as an additional transfer of 
        property under this subsection (to the extent not 
        previously included in income).
          (5) Interest on tax liability payable with respect to 
        transferred property.--
                  (A) In general.--If amounts are required to 
                be included in gross income by reason of 
                paragraph (1), (2), or (3) for a taxable year, 
                the tax imposed by this chapter for such 
                taxable year shall be increased by the sum of--
                          (i) the amount of interest determined 
                        under subparagraph (B), and

                        the amounts required to be included in 
                        gross income.
                  (B) Interest.--For purposes of subparagraph 
                (A), the interest determined under this 
                subparagraph for any taxable year is the amount 
                of interest at the underpayment rate plus 1 
                percentage point on the underpayments that 
                would have occurred had the amounts so required 
                to be included in gross income by paragraph 
                (1), (2), or (3) been includible in gross

                deferred or, if later, the first taxable year 
                in which such amounts are not subject to a 
                substantial risk of forfeiture.
  (c) No inference on earlier income inclusion or requirement 
of later inclusion.--Nothing in this section shall be construed 
to prevent the inclusion of amounts in gross income under any 
other provision of this chapter or any other rule of law 
earlier than the time provided in this section. Any amount 
included in gross income under this section shall not be 
required to be included in gross income under any other

        compensation shall be treated as including references 
        to income (whether actual or notional) attributable to

        election, or ability to make an election, to defer 
        recognition of income under section 83(i).
  (e) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the 
purposes of this section, including regulations--

        purposes of subsection (a)(2)(A)(v),
          (3) exempting arrangements from the application of 
        subsection (b) if such arrangements will not result in

        creditors,
          (4) defining financial health for purposes of 
        subsection (b)(2), and

                        short period to which subsection (b) of 
                        section 443 applies, the taxable income 
                        for such short period shall be placed 
                        on an annual basis for purposes of such 
                        subsection by multiplying the gross 
                        income for such short period (minus the 
                        deductions allowed by this chapter for 
                        the short period[, but only the 
                        adjusted amount of the deductions for 
                        personal exemptions as described in 
                        section 443(c)]) by 365, by dividing 
                        the result by the number of days in the 
                        short period, and the tax shall be the 
                        same part of the tax computed on the 
                        annual basis as the number of days in 
                        the short period is of 365 days.
          (3) Special rule for partnerships, S corporations, 
        and personal service corporations.--The Secretary may 
        by regulation provide terms and conditions for the 
        application of this subsection to a partnership, S 
        corporation, or personal service corporation (within 
        the meaning of section 441(i)(2)).
          (4) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
        regulations as he deems necessary for the application 
        of this subsection.
  (g) No books kept; no accounting period.--Except as provided 
in section 443 (relating to returns for periods of less than 12 
months), the taxpayer's taxable year shall be the calendar year 
if--
          (1) the taxpayer keeps no books;
          (2) the taxpayer does not have an annual accounting 
        period; or
          (3) the taxpayer has an annual accounting period, but 
        such period does not qualify as a fiscal year.
  (h) Taxable year of DISC's.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this subtitle, the 
        taxable year of any DISC shall be the taxable year of 
        that shareholder (or group of shareholders with the 
        same 12-month taxable year) who has the highest 
        percentage of voting power.
          (2) Special rule where more than one shareholder (or 
        group) has highest percentage.--If 2 or more 
        shareholders (or groups) have the highest percentage of 
        voting power under paragraph (1), the taxable year of 
        the DISC shall be the same 12-month period as that of 
        any such shareholder (or group).
          (3) Subsequent changes of ownership.--The Secretary 
        shall prescribe regulations under which paragraphs (1) 
        and (2) shall apply to a change of ownership of a 
        corporation after the taxable year of the corporation 
        has been determined under paragraph (1) or (2) only if 
        such change is a substantial change of ownership.
          (4) Voting power determined.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, voting power shall be determined on the 
        basis of total combined voting power of all classes of 
        stock of the corporation entitled to vote.
  (i) Taxable year of personal service corporations.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this subtitle, the 
        taxable year of any personal service corporation shall 
        be the calendar year unless the corporation 
        establishes, to the satisfaction of the Secretary, a 
        business purpose for having a different period for its 
        taxable year. For purposes of this paragraph, any 
        deferral of income to shareholders shall not be treated 
        as a business purpose.
          (2) Personal service corporation.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``personal service 
        corporation'' has the meaning given such term by 
        section 269A(b)(1), except that section 269A(b)(2) 
        shall be applied--
                  (A) by substituting ``any'' for ``more than 
                10 percent'', and
                  (B) by substituting ``any'' for ``50 percent 
                or more in value'' in section 318(a)(2)(C).
        A corporation shall not be treated as a personal 
        service corporation unless more than 10 percent of the 
        stock (by value) in such corporation is held by 
        employee-owners (within the meaning of section 
        269A(b)(2), as modified by the preceding sentence). If 
        a corporation is a member of an affiliated group filing 
        a consolidated return, all members of such group shall 
        be taken into account in determining whether such 
        corporation is a personal service corporation.

SEC. 443. RETURNS FOR A PERIOD OF LESS THAN 12 MONTHS.

  (a) Returns for short period.--A return for a period of less 
than 12 months (referred to in this section as ``short 
period'') shall be made under any of the following 
circumstances:
          (1) Change of annual accounting period.--When the 
        taxpayer, with the approval of the Secretary, changes 
        his annual accounting period. In such a case, the 
        return shall be made for the short period beginning on 
        the day after the close of the former taxable year and 
        ending at the close of the day before the day 
        designated as the first day of the new taxable year.
          (2) Taxpayer not in existence for entire taxable 
        year.--When the taxpayer is in existence during only 
        part of what would otherwise be his taxable year.
  (b) Computation of tax on change of annual accounting 
period.--
          (1) General rule.--If a return is made under 
        paragraph (1) of subsection (a), the taxable income for 
        the short period shall be placed on an annual basis by 
        multiplying the [modified taxable income] taxable 
        income for such short period by 12, dividing the result 
        by the number of months in the short period. The tax 
        shall be the same part of the tax computed on the 
        annual basis as the number of months in the short 
        period is of 12 months.
          (2) Exception.--
                  (A) Computation based on 12-month period.--If 
                the taxpayer applies for the benefits of this 
                paragraph and establishes the amount of this 
                taxable income for the 12-month period 
                described in subparagraph (B), computed as if 
                that period were a taxable year and under the 
                law applicable to that year, then the tax for 
                the short period, computed under paragraph (1), 
                shall be reduced to the greater of the 
                following:
                          (i) an amount which bears the same 
                        ratio to the tax computed on the 
                        taxable income for the 12-month period 
                        as the [modified taxable income] 
                        taxable income computed on the basis of 
                        the short period bears to the [modified 
                        taxable income] taxable income for the 
                        12-month period; or
                          (ii) the tax computed on the 
                        [modified taxable income] taxable 
                        income for the short period.
                The taxpayer (other than a taxpayer to whom 
                subparagraph (B)(ii) applies) shall compute the 
                tax and file his return without the application 
                of this paragraph.
                  (B) 12-month period.--The 12-month period 
                referred to in subparagraph (A) shall be--
                          (i) the period of 12 months beginning 
                        on the first day of the short period, 
                        or
                          (ii) the period of 12 months ending 
                        at the close of the last day of the 
                        short period, if at the end of the 12 
                        months referred to in clause (i) the 
                        taxpayer is not in existence or (if a 
                        corporation) has theretofore disposed 
                        of substantially all of its assets.
                  (C) Application for benefits.--Application 
                for the benefits of this paragraph shall be 
                made in such manner and at such time as the 
                regulations prescribed under subparagraph (D) 
                may require; except that the time so prescribed 
                shall not be later than the time (including 
                extensions) for filing the return for the first 
                taxable year which ends on or after the day 
                which is 12 months after the first day of the 
                short period. Such application, in case the 
                return was filed without regard to this 
                paragraph, shall be considered a claim for 
                credit or refund with respect to the amount by 
                which the tax is reduced under this paragraph.
                  (D) Regulations.--The Secretary shall 
                prescribe such regulations as he deems 
                necessary for the application of this 
                paragraph.
          [(3) Modified taxable income defined.--For purposes 
        of this subsection the term modified taxable income 
        means, with respect to any period, the gross income for 
        such period minus the deductions allowed by this 
        chapter for such period (but, in the case of a short 
        period, only the adjusted amount of the deductions for 
        personal exemptions).]
  [(c) Adjustment in deduction for personal exemption.--In the 
case of a taxpayer other than a corporation, if a return is 
made for a short period by reason of subsection (a)(1) and if 
the tax is not computed under subsection (b)(2), then the 
exemptions allowed as a deduction under section 151 (and any 
deduction in lieu thereof) shall be reduced to amounts which 
bear the same ratio to the full exemptions as the number of 
months in the short period bears to 12.]
  [(d)] (c) Adjustment in computing minimum tax and tax 
preferences.--If a return is made for a short period by reason 
of subsection (a)--
          (1) the alternative minimum taxable income for the 
        short period shall be placed on an annual basis by 
        multiplying such amount by 12 and dividing the result 
        by the number of months in the short period, and
          (2) the amount computed under paragraph (1) of 
        section 55(a) shall bear the same relation to the tax 
        computed on the annual basis as the number of months in 
        the short period bears to 12.
  [(e)] (d) Cross references.--For inapplicability of 
subsection (b) in computing--
          (1) Accumulated earnings tax, see section 536.
          (2) Personal holding company tax, see section 546.
          (3) The taxable income of a regulated investment 
        company, see section 852(b)(2)(E).
          (4) The taxable income of a real estate investment 
        trust, see section 857(b)(2)(C).
  For returns for a period of less than 12 months in the case 
of a debtor's election to terminate a taxable year, see section 
1398(d)(2)(E).

SEC. 461. GENERAL RULE FOR TAXABLE YEAR OF DEDUCTION.

  (a) General rule.--The amount of any deduction or credit 
allowed by this subtitle shall be taken for the taxable year 
which is the proper taxable year under the method of accounting 
used in computing taxable income.
  (b) Special rule in case of death.--In the case of the death 
of a taxpayer whose taxable income is computed under an accrual 
method of accounting, any amount accrued as a deduction or 
credit only by reason of the death of the taxpayer shall not be 
allowed in computing taxable income for the period in which 
falls the date of the taxpayer's death.
  (c) Accrual of real property taxes.--
          (1) In general.--If the taxable income is computed 
        under an accrual method of accounting, then, at the 
        election of the taxpayer, any real property tax which 
        is related to a definite period of time shall be 
        accrued ratably over that period.
          (2) When election may be made.--
                  (A) Without consent.--A taxpayer may, without 
                the consent of the Secretary, make an election 
                under this subsection for his first taxable 
                year in which he incurs real property taxes. 
                Such an election shall be made not later than 
                the time prescribed by law for filing the 
                return for such year (including extensions 
                thereof).
                  (B) With consent.--A taxpayer may, with the 
                consent of the Secretary, make an election 
                under this subsection at any time.
  (d) Limitation on acceleration of accrual of taxes.--
          (1) General rule.--In the case of a taxpayer whose 
        taxable income is computed under an accrual method of 
        accounting, to the extent that the time for accruing 
        taxes is earlier than it would be but for any action of 
        any taxing jurisdiction taken after December 31, 1960, 
        then, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, 
        such taxes shall be treated as accruing at the time 
        they would have accrued but for such action by such 
        taxing jurisdiction.
          (2) Limitation.--Under regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary, paragraph (1) shall be inapplicable to any 
        item of tax to the extent that its application would 
        (but for this paragraph) prevent all persons (including 
        successors in interest) from ever taking such item into 
        account.
  (e) Dividends or interest paid on certain deposits or 
withdrawable accounts.--Except as provided in regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary, amounts paid to, or credited to 
the accounts of, depositors or holders of accounts as dividends 
or interest on their deposits or withdrawable accounts (if such 
amounts paid or credited are withdrawable on demand subject 
only to customary notice to withdraw) by a mutual savings bank 
not having capital stock represented by shares, a domestic 
building and loan association, or a cooperative bank shall not 
be allowed as a deduction for the taxable year to the extent 
such amounts are paid or credited for periods representing more 
than 12 months. Any such amount not allowed as a deduction as 
the result of the application of the preceding sentence shall 
be allowed as a deduction for such other taxable year as the 
Secretary determines to be consistent with the preceding 
sentence.
  (f) Contested liabilities.--If--
          (1) the taxpayer contests an asserted liability,
          (2) the taxpayer transfers money or other property to 
        provide for the satisfaction of the asserted liability,
          (3) the contest with respect to the asserted 
        liability exists after the time of the transfer, and
          (4) but for the fact that the asserted liability is 
        contested, a deduction would be allowed for the taxable 
        year of the transfer (or for an earlier taxable year) 
        determined after application of subsection (h),
then the deduction shall be allowed for the taxable year of the 
transfer. This subsection shall not apply in respect of the 
deduction for income, war profits, and excess profits taxes 
imposed by the authority of any foreign country or possession 
of the United States.
  (g) Prepaid interest.--
          (1) In general.--If the taxable income of the 
        taxpayer is computed under the cash receipts and 
        disbursements method of accounting, interest paid by 
        the taxpayer which, under regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary, is properly allocable to any period--
                  (A) with respect to which the interest 
                represents a charge for the use or forbearance 
                of money, and
                  (B) which is after the close of the taxable 
                year in which paid,
        shall be charged to capital account and shall be 
        treated as paid in the period to which so allocable.
          (2) Exception.--This subsection shall not apply to 
        points paid in respect of any indebtedness incurred in 
        connection with the purchase or improvement of, and 
        secured by, the principal residence of the taxpayer to 
        the extent that, under regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary, such payment of points is an established 
        business practice in the area in which such 
        indebtedness is incurred, and the amount of such 
        payment does not exceed the amount generally charged in 
        such area.
  (h) Certain liabilities not incurred before economic 
performance.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this title, in 
        determining whether an amount has been incurred with 
        respect to any item during any taxable year, the all 
        events test shall not be treated as met any earlier 
        than when economic performance with respect to such 
        item occurs.
          (2) Time when economic performance occurs.--Except as 
        provided in regulations prescribed by the Secretary, 
        the time when economic performance occurs shall be 
        determined under the following principles:
                  (A) Services and property provided to the 
                taxpayer.--If the liability of the taxpayer 
                arises out of--
                          (i) the providing of services to the 
                        taxpayer by another person, economic 
                        performance occurs as such person 
                        provides such services,
                          (ii) the providing of property to the 
                        taxpayer by another person, economic 
                        performance occurs as the person 
                        provides such property, or
                          (iii) the use of property by the 
                        taxpayer, economic performance occurs 
                        as the taxpayer uses such property.
                  (B) Services and property provided by the 
                taxpayer.--If the liability of the taxpayer 
                requires the taxpayer to provide property or 
                services, economic performance occurs as the 
                taxpayer provides such property or services.
                  (C) Workers compensation and tort liabilities 
                of the taxpayer.--If the liability of the 
                taxpayer requires a payment to another person 
                and--
                          (i) arises under any workers 
                        compensation act, or
                          (ii) arises out of any tort, economic 
                        performance occurs as the payments to 
                        such person are made. Subparagraphs (A) 
                        and (B) shall not apply to any 
                        liability described in the preceding 
                        sentence.
                  (D) Other items.--In the case of any other 
                liability of the taxpayer, economic performance 
                occurs at the time determined under regulations 
                prescribed by the Secretary.

                        associations or banks described in 
                        clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of 
                        subparagraph (B); but only if 85 
                        percent or more of the income is 
                        attributable to providing such reserve 
                        funds and to investments. This 
                        subparagraph shall not apply to any 
                        corporation or association entitled to 
                        exemption under subparagraph (B).
          (15)(A) Insurance companies (as defined in section 
        816(a)) other than life (including interinsurers and 
        reciprocal underwriters) if--
                          (i)(I) the gross receipts for the 
                        taxable year do not exceed $600,000, 
                        and
                                  (II) more than 50 percent of 
                                such gross receipts consist of 
                                premiums, or
                          (ii) in the case of a mutual 
                        insurance company--
                                  (I) the gross receipts of 
                                which for the taxable year do 
                                not exceed $150,000, and
                                  (II) more than 35 percent of 
                                such gross receipts consist of 
                                premiums.
        Clause (ii) shall not apply to a company if any 
        employee of the company, or a member of the employee's 
        family (as defined in section 2032A(e)(2)), is an 
        employee of another company exempt from taxation by 
        reason of this paragraph (or would be so exempt but for 
        this sentence).
                  (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), in 
                determining whether any company or association 
                is described in subparagraph (A), such company 
                or association shall be treated as receiving 
                during the taxable year amounts described in 
                subparagraph (A) which are received during such 
                year by all other companies or associations 
                which are members of the same controlled group 
                as the insurance company or association for 
                which the determination is being made.
                  (C) For purposes of subparagraph (B), the 
                term ``controlled group'' has the meaning given 
                such term by section 831(b)(2)(B)(ii), except 
                that in applying section 831(b)(2)(B)(ii) for 
                purposes of this subparagraph, subparagraphs 
                (B) and (C) of section 1563(b)(2) shall be 
                disregarded.
          (16) Corporations organized by an association subject 
        to part IV of this subchapter or members thereof, for 
        the purpose of financing the ordinary crop operations 
        of such members or other producers, and operated in 
        conjunction with such association. Exemption shall not 
        be denied any such corporation because it has capital 
        stock, if the dividend rate of such stock is fixed at 
        not to exceed the legal rate of interest in the State 
        of incorporation or 8 percent per annum, whichever is 
        greater, on the value of the consideration for which 
        the stock was issued, and if substantially all such 
        stock (other than nonvoting preferred stock, the owners 
        of which are not entitled or permitted to participate, 
        directly or indirectly, in the profits of the 
        corporation, on dissolution or otherwise, beyond the 
        fixed dividends) is owned by such association, or 
        members thereof; nor shall exemption be denied any such 
        corporation because there is accumulated and maintained 
        by it a reserve required by State law or a reasonable 
        reserve for any necessary purpose.
          (17)(A) A trust or trusts forming part of a plan 
        providing for the payment of supplemental unemployment 
        compensation benefits, if--
                          (i) under the plan, it is impossible, 
                        at any time prior to the satisfaction 
                        of all liabilities, with respect to 
                        employees under the plan, for any part 
                        of the corpus or income to be (within 
                        the taxable year or thereafter) used 
                        for, or diverted to, any purpose other 
                        than the providing of supplemental 
                        unemployment compensation benefits,
                          (ii) such benefits are payable to 
                        employees under a classification which 
                        is set forth in the plan and which is 
                        found by the Secretary not to be 
                        discriminatory in favor of employees 
                        who are highly compensated employees 
                        (within the meaning of section 414(q)), 
                        and
                          (iii) such benefits do not 
                        discriminate in favor of employees who 
                        are highly compensated employees 
                        (within the meaning of section 414(q)). 
                        A plan shall not be considered 
                        discriminatory within the meaning of 
                        this clause merely because the benefits 
                        received under the plan bear a uniform 
                        relationship to the total compensation, 
                        or the basic or regular rate of 
                        compensation, of the employees covered 
                        by the plan.
                  (B) In determining whether a plan meets the 
                requirements of subparagraph (A), any benefits 
                provided under any other plan shall not be 
                taken into consideration, except that a plan 
                shall not be considered discriminatory--
                          (i) merely because the benefits under 
                        the plan which are first determined in 
                        a nondiscriminatory manner within the 
                        meaning of subparagraph (A) are then 
                        reduced by any sick, accident, or 
                        unemployment compensation benefits 
                        received under State or Federal law (or 
                        reduced by a portion of such benefits 
                        if determined in a nondiscriminatory 
                        manner), or
                          (ii) merely because the plan provides 
                        only for employees who are not eligible 
                        to receive sick, accident, or 
                        unemployment compensation benefits 
                        under State or Federal law the same 
                        benefits (or a portion of such benefits 
                        if determined in a nondiscriminatory 
                        manner) which such employees would 
                        receive under such laws if such 
                        employees were eligible for such 
                        benefits, or
                          (iii) merely because the plan 
                        provides only for employees who are not 
                        eligible under another plan (which 
                        meets the requirements of subparagraph 
                        (A)) of supplemental unemployment 
                        compensation benefits provided wholly 
                        by the employer the same benefits (or a 
                        portion of such benefits if determined 
                        in a nondiscriminatory manner) which 
                        such employees would receive under such 
                        other plan if such employees were 
                        eligible under such other plan, but 
                        only if the employees eligible under 
                        both plans would make a classification 
                        which would be nondiscriminatory within 
                        the meaning of subparagraph (A).
                  (C) A plan shall be considered to meet the 
                requirements of subparagraph (A) during the 
                whole of any year of the plan if on one day in 
                each quarter it satisfies such requirements.
                  (D) The term ``supplemental unemployment 
                compensation benefits'' means only--
                          (i) benefits which are paid to an 
                        employee because of his involuntary 
                        separation from the employment of the 
                        employer (whether or not such 
                        separation is temporary) resulting 
                        directly from a reduction in force, the 
                        discontinuance of a plant or operation, 
                        or other similar conditions, and
                          (ii) sick and accident benefits 
                        subordinate to the benefits described 
                        in clause (i).
                  (E) Exemption shall not be denied under 
                subsection (a) to any organization entitled to 
                such exemption as an association described in 
                paragraph (9) of this subsection merely because 
                such organization provides for the payment of 
                supplemental unemployment benefits (as defined 
                in subparagraph (D)(i)).
          (18) A trust or trusts created before June 25, 1959, 
        forming part of a plan providing for the payment of 
        benefits under a pension plan funded only by 
        contributions of employees, if--
                  (A) under the plan, it is impossible, at any 
                time prior to the satisfaction of all 
                liabilities with respect to employees under the 
                plan, for any part of the corpus or income to 
                be (within the taxable year or thereafter) used 
                for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the 
                providing of benefits under the plan,
                  (B) such benefits are payable to employees 
                under a classification which is set forth in 
                the plan and which is found by the Secretary 
                not to be discriminatory in favor of employees 
                who are highly compensated employees (within 
                the meaning of section 414(q)),
                  (C) such benefits do not discriminate in 
                favor of employees who are highly compensated 
                employees (within the meaning of section 
                414(q)). A plan shall not be considered 
                discriminatory within the meaning of this 
                subparagraph merely because the benefits 
                received under the plan bear a uniform 
                relationship to the total compensation, or the 
                basic or regular rate of compensation, of the 
                employees covered by the plan, and
                  (D) in the case of a plan under which an 
                employee may designate certain contributions as 
                deductible--
                          (i) such contributions do not exceed 
                        the amount with respect to which a 
                        deduction is allowable under section 
                        219(b)(3),
                          (ii) requirements similar to the 
                        requirements of section 
                        401(k)(3)(A)(ii) are met with respect 
                        to such elective contributions,
                          (iii) such contributions are treated 
                        as elective deferrals for purposes of 
                        section 402(g), and
                          (iv) the requirements of section 
                        401(a)(30) are met.
        For purposes of subparagraph (D)(ii), rules similar to 
        the rules of section 401(k)(8) shall apply. For 
        purposes of section 4979, any excess contribution under 
        clause (ii) shall be treated as an excess contribution 
        under a cash or deferred arrangement.
          (19) A post or organization of past or present 
        members of the Armed Forces of the United States, or an 
        auxiliary unit or society of, or a trust or foundation 
        for, any such post or organization--
                  (A) organized in the United States or any of 
                its possessions,
                  (B) at least 75 percent of the members of 
                which are past or present members of the Armed 
                Forces of the United States and substantially 
                all of the other members of which are 
                individuals who are cadets or are spouses, 
                widows, widowers, ancestors, or lineal 
                descendants of past or present members of the 
                Armed Forces of the United States or of cadets, 
                and
                  (C) no part of the net earnings of which 
                inures to the benefit of any private 
                shareholder or individual.
          (21)(A) A trust or trusts established in writing, 
        created or organized in the United States, and 
        contributed to by any person (except an insurance 
        company) if--
                          (i) the purpose of such trust or 
                        trusts is exclusively--
                                  (I) to satisfy, in whole or 
                                in part, the liability of such 
                                person for, or with respect to, 
                                claims for compensation for 
                                disability or death due to 
                                pneumoconiosis under Black Lung 
                                Acts,
                                  (II) to pay premiums for 
                                insurance exclusively covering 
                                such liability,
                                  (III) to pay administrative 
                                and other incidental expenses 
                                of such trust in connection 
                                with the operation of the trust 
                                and the processing of claims 
                                against such person under Black 
                                Lung Acts, and
                                  (IV) to pay accident or 
                                health benefits for retired 
                                miners and their spouses and 
                                dependents (including 
                                administrative and other 
                                incidental expenses of such 
                                trust in connection therewith) 
                                or premiums for insurance 
                                exclusively covering such 
                                benefits; and
                          (ii) no part of the assets of the 
                        trust may be used for, or diverted to, 
                        any purpose other than--

                                provided 90 days notice to such

                                be treated as a separate 
                                corporation, and
                                  (II) all assets, liabilities,

                                described in subparagraph (A).
                          (ii) For purposes of this 
                        subparagraph, the term ``qualified 
                        subsidiary'' means any corporation if,

                        corporation was in existence, 100 
                        percent of the stock of such 
                        corporation is held by the corporation

                          (iii) For purposes of this subtitle, 
                        if any corporation which was a 
                        qualified subsidiary ceases to meet the 
                        requirements of clause (ii), such 
                        corporation shall be treated as a new 
                        corporation acquiring all of its assets 
                        (and assuming all of its liabilities) 
                        immediately before such cessation from 
                        the corporation or trust described in 
                        subparagraph (A) in exchange for its 
                        stock.

                term ``real property'' includes any personal 
                property which is leased under, or in 
                connection with, a lease of real property, but 
                only if the rent attributable to such personal 
                property (determined under the rules of section 
                856(d)(1)) for the taxable year does not exceed 
                15 percent of the total rent for the taxable 
                year attributable to both the real and personal 
                property leased under, or in connection with, 
                such lease.
                  (G)(i) An organization shall not be treated 
                as failing to be described in this paragraph 
                merely by reason of the receipt of any 
                otherwise disqualifying income which is 
                incidentally derived from the holding of real 
                property.
                          (ii) Clause (i) shall not apply if 
                        the amount of gross income described in 
                        such clause exceeds 10 percent of the 
                        organization's gross income for the 
                        taxable year unless the organization 
                        establishes to the satisfaction of the 
                        Secretary that the receipt of gross 
                        income described in clause (i) in 
                        excess of such limitation was

        which the provision of credit counseling services is a 
        substantial purpose shall not be exempt from tax under 
        subsection (a) unless such organization is described in 
        paragraph (3) or (4) of subsection (c) and such 
        organization is organized and operated in accordance 
        with the following requirements:
                  (A) The organization--
                          (i) provides credit counseling 
                        services tailored to the specific needs 
                        and circumstances of consumers,
                          (ii) makes no loans to debtors (other 
                        than loans with no fees or interest) 
                        and does not negotiate the making of 
                        loans on behalf of debtors,
                          (iii) provides services for the 
                        purpose of improving a consumer's 
                        credit record, credit history, or 
                        credit rating only to the extent that 
                        such services are incidental to 
                        providing credit counseling services,

                provide credit counseling services to a 
                consumer due to the inability of the consumer 
                to pay, the ineligibility of the consumer for 
                debt management plan enrollment, or the 
                unwillingness of the consumer to enroll in a 
                debt management plan.

                        a consumer for services are reasonable,
                          (ii) allows for the waiver of fees if 
                        the consumer is unable to pay, and
                          (iii) except to the extent allowed by 
                        State law, prohibits charging any fee 
                        based in whole or in part on a 
                        percentage of the consumer's debt, the 
                        consumer's payments to be made pursuant 
                        to a debt management plan, or the

                        consumer resulting from enrolling in a 
                        debt management plan.

SEC. 529. QUALIFIED TUITION PROGRAMS.

  (a) General rule.--A qualified tuition program shall be 
exempt from taxation under this subtitle. Notwithstanding the 
preceding sentence, such program shall be subject to the taxes 
imposed by section 511 (relating to imposition of tax on 
unrelated business income of charitable organizations).
  (b) Qualified tuition program.--For purposes of this 
section--
          (1) In general.--The term ``qualified tuition 
        program'' means a program established and maintained by 
        a State or agency or instrumentality thereof or by 1 or 
        more eligible educational institutions--
                  (A) under which a person--
                          (i) may purchase tuition credits or 
                        certificates on behalf of a designated 
                        beneficiary which entitle the 
                        beneficiary to the waiver or payment of 
                        qualified higher education expenses of 
                        the beneficiary, or
                          (ii) in the case of a program 
                        established and maintained by a State 
                        or agency or instrumentality thereof, 
                        may make contributions to an account 
                        which is established for the purpose of 
                        meeting the qualified higher education 
                        expenses of the designated beneficiary 
                        of the account, and
                  (B) which meets the other requirements of 
                this subsection.
        Except to the extent provided in regulations, a program 
        established and maintained by 1 or more eligible 
        educational institutions shall not be treated as a 
        qualified tuition program unless such program provides 
        that amounts are held in a qualified trust and such 
        program has received a ruling or determination that 
        such program meets the applicable requirements for a 
        qualified tuition program. For purposes of the 
        preceding sentence, the term ``qualified trust'' means 
        a trust which is created or organized in the United 
        States for the exclusive benefit of designated 
        beneficiaries and with respect to which the 
        requirements of paragraphs (2) and (5) of section 
        408(a) are met.
          (2) Cash contributions.--A program shall not be 
        treated as a qualified tuition program unless it 
        provides that purchases or contributions may only be 
        made in cash.
          (3) Separate accounting.--A program shall not be 
        treated as a qualified tuition program unless it 
        provides separate accounting for each designated 
        beneficiary.
          (4) Limited investment direction.--A program shall 
        not be treated as a qualified tuition program unless it 
        provides that any contributor to, or designated 
        beneficiary under, such program may, directly or 
        indirectly, direct the investment of any contributions 
        to the program (or any earnings thereon) no more than 2 
        times in any calendar year.
          (5) No pledging of interest as security.--A program 
        shall not be treated as a qualified tuition program if 
        it allows any interest in the program or any portion 
        thereof to be used as security for a loan.
          (6) Prohibition on excess contributions.--A program 
        shall not be treated as a qualified tuition program 
        unless it provides adequate safeguards to prevent 
        contributions on behalf of a designated beneficiary in 
        excess of those necessary to provide for the qualified 
        higher education expenses of the beneficiary.
  (c) Tax treatment of designated beneficiaries and 
contributors.--
          (1) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
        subsection, no amount shall be includible in gross 
        income of--
                  (A) a designated beneficiary under a 
                qualified tuition program, or
                  (B) a contributor to such program on behalf 
                of a designated beneficiary,
        with respect to any distribution or earnings under such 
        program.
          (2) Gift tax treatment of contributions.--For 
        purposes of chapters 12 and 13--
                  (A) In general.--Any contribution to a 
                qualified tuition program on behalf of any 
                designated beneficiary--
                          (i) shall be treated as a completed 
                        gift to such beneficiary which is not a 
                        future interest in property, and
                          (ii) shall not be treated as a 
                        qualified transfer under section 
                        2503(e).
                  (B) Treatment of excess contributions.--If 
                the aggregate amount of contributions described 
                in subparagraph (A) during the calendar year by 
                a donor exceeds the limitation for such year 
                under section 2503(b), such aggregate amount 
                shall, at the election of the donor, be taken 
                into account for purposes of such section 
                ratably over the 5-year period beginning with 
                such calendar year.
          (3) Distributions.--
                  (A) In general.--Any distribution under a 
                qualified tuition program shall be includible 
                in the gross income of the distributee in the 
                manner as provided under section 72 to the 
                extent not excluded from gross income under any 
                other provision of this chapter.
                  (B) Distributions for qualified higher 
                education expenses.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph--
                          (i) In-kind distributions.--No amount 
                        shall be includible in gross income 
                        under subparagraph (A) by reason of a 
                        distribution which consists of 
                        providing a benefit to the distributee 
                        which, if paid for by the distributee, 
                        would constitute payment of a qualified 
                        higher education expense.
                          (ii) Cash distributions.--In the case 
                        of distributions not described in 
                        clause (i), if--
                                  (I) such distributions do not 
                                exceed the qualified higher 
                                education expenses (reduced by 
                                expenses described in clause 
                                (i)), no amount shall be

                                by an amount which bears the 
                                same ratio to such amount as 
                                such expenses bear to such 
                                distributions.

                        to the ABLE account for the taxable 
                        year, exceeds the limitation under

                  (B) Treatment of designation of new 
                beneficiary.--The taxes imposed by chapters 12 
                and 13 shall apply to a transfer by reason of a 
                change in the designated beneficiary under the 
                program (or a rollover to the account of a new 
                beneficiary) unless the new beneficiary is--
                          (i) assigned to the same generation

SEC. 529A. QUALIFIED ABLE PROGRAMS.

  (a) General rule.--A qualified ABLE program shall be exempt 
from taxation under this subtitle. Notwithstanding the

imposed by section 511 (relating to imposition of tax on 
unrelated business income of charitable organizations).
  (b) Qualified ABLE program.--For purposes of this section--
          (1) In general.--The term ``qualified ABLE program'' 
        means a program established and maintained by a State, 
        or agency or instrumentality thereof--
                  (A) under which a person may make 
                contributions for a taxable year, for the 
                benefit of an individual who is an eligible 
                individual for such taxable year, to an ABLE 
                account which is established for the purpose of 
                meeting the qualified disability expenses of 
                the designated beneficiary of the account,
                  (B) which limits a designated beneficiary to 
                1 ABLE account for purposes of this section, 
                and
                  (C) which meets the other requirements of 
                this section.
          (2) Cash contributions.--A program shall not be 
        treated as a qualified ABLE program unless it provides 
        that no contribution will be accepted--
                  (A) unless it is in cash, or
                  (B) except in the case of contributions under 
                subsection (c)(1)(C), if such contribution to 
                an ABLE account would result in aggregate 
                contributions from all contributors to the ABLE 
                account for the taxable year exceeding the sum 
                of--
                          (i) the amount in effect under 
                        section 2503(b) for the calendar year 
                        in which the taxable year begins, plus
                          (ii) in the case of any contribution 
                        by a designated beneficiary described 
                        in paragraph (7) [before January 1, 
                        2026], the lesser of--
                                  (I) compensation (as defined 
                                by section 219(f)(1)) 
                                includible in the designated 
                                beneficiary's gross income for 
                                the taxable year, or
                                  (II) an amount equal to the 
                                poverty line for a one-person 
                                household, as determined for 
                                the calendar year preceding the 
                                calendar year in which the 
                                taxable year begins.
        For purposes of this paragraph, rules similar to the 
        rules of section 408(d)(4) (determined without regard 
        to subparagraph (B) thereof) shall apply. A designated 
        beneficiary (or a person acting on behalf of such 
        beneficiary) shall maintain adequate records for 
        purposes of ensuring, and shall be responsible for 
        ensuring, that the requirements of subparagraph (B)(ii) 
        are met.
          (3) Separate accounting.--A program shall not be 
        treated as a qualified ABLE program unless it provides 
        separate accounting for each designated beneficiary.
          (4) Limited investment direction.--A program shall 
        not be treated as a qualified ABLE program unless it 
        provides that any designated beneficiary under such 
        program may, directly or indirectly, direct the 
        investment of any contributions to the program (or any 
        earnings thereon) no more than 2 times in any calendar 
        year.
          (5) No pledging of interest as security.--A program 
        shall not be treated as a qualified ABLE program if it 
        allows any interest in the program or any portion 
        thereof to be used as security for a loan.
          (6) Prohibition on excess contributions.--A program 
        shall not be treated as a qualified ABLE program unless 
        it provides adequate safeguards to prevent aggregate 
        contributions on behalf of a designated beneficiary in 
        excess of the limit established by the State under 
        section 529(b)(6). For purposes of the preceding 
        sentence, aggregate contributions include contributions 
        under any prior qualified ABLE program of any State or 
        agency or instrumentality thereof.
          (7) Special rules related to contribution limit.--For

                        gift to such designated beneficiary 
                        which is not a future interest in 
                        property, and

                who receives a distribution from a qualified 
                ABLE program which is includible in gross 
                income shall be increased by 10 percent of the 
                amount which is so includible.
                  (B) Exception.--Subparagraph (A) shall not 
                apply if the payment or distribution is made to

                designated beneficiary) on or after the death 
                of the designated beneficiary.
                  (C) Contributions returned before certain 
                date.--Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the

                        or before the day prescribed by law 
                        (including extensions of time) for 
                        filing such designated beneficiary's

                        attributable to such excess 
                        contribution.
                Any net income described in clause (ii) shall

                made.
          (4) Loss of ABLE account treatment.--If an ABLE 
        account is established for a designated beneficiary, no 
        account subsequently established for such beneficiary 
        shall be treated as an ABLE account. The preceding 
        sentence shall not apply in the case of an account

        program. In carrying out the preceding sentence an item

        can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly 
        or indirectly, a particular individual.

SEC. 641. IMPOSITION OF TAX.

  (a) Application of tax.--The tax imposed by section 1(e) 
shall apply to the taxable income of estates or of any kind of 
property held in trust, including--
          (1) income accumulated in trust for the benefit of 
        unborn or unascertained persons or persons with 
        contingent interests, and income accumulated or held 
        for future distribution under the terms of the will or 
        trust;
          (2) income which is to be distributed currently by 
        the fiduciary to the beneficiaries, and income 
        collected by a guardian of an infant which is to be 
        held or distributed as the court may direct;
          (3) income received by estates of deceased persons 
        during the period of administration or settlement of 
        the estate; and
          (4) income which, in the discretion of the fiduciary, 
        may be either distributed to the beneficiaries or 
        accumulated.
  (b) Computation and payment.--The taxable income of an estate 
or trust shall be computed in the same manner as in the case of 
an individual, except as otherwise provided in this part. The 
tax shall be computed on such taxable income and shall be paid 
by the fiduciary. For purposes of this subsection, a foreign 
trust or foreign estate shall be treated as a nonresident alien 
individual who is not present in the United States at any time.
  (c) Special rules for taxation of electing small business 
trusts.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this chapter--
                  (A) the portion of any electing small 
                business trust which consists of stock in 1 or 
                more S corporations shall be treated as a 
                separate trust, and
                  (B) the amount of the tax imposed by this 
                chapter on such separate trust shall be 
                determined with the modifications of paragraph 
                (2).

        after the close of such taxable year and on or before 
        the last day of the year following the close of such 
        taxable year, then the trustee or administrator may 
        elect to treat such contribution as paid during such 
        taxable year. The election shall be made at such time 
        and in such manner as the Secretary prescribes by 
        regulations.

                        is transferred to or for the use of an 
                        organization described in section 
                        170(c), or

                        after October 9, 1969, under a mental 
                        disability to change the terms of the 
                        trust; or
                  (B) established by a will executed on or 
                before October 9, 1969, if--

                        will after October 9, 1969, by codicil 
                        or otherwise,
                          (ii) the testator at no time after 
                        October 9, 1969, had the right to 
                        change the portions of the will which 
                        pertain to the trust, or
                          (iii) the will is not republished by 
                        codicil or otherwise before October 9, 
                        1972, and the testator is on such date 
                        and at all times thereafter under a

                        by codicil or otherwise,
        there shall also be allowed as a deduction in computing 
        its taxable income any amount of the gross income, 
        without limitation, which pursuant to the terms of the 
        governing instrument is, during the taxable year, 
        permanently set aside for a purpose specified in 
        section 170(c), or is to be used exclusively for 
        religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or 
        educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty 
        to children or animals, or for the establishment, 
        acquisition, maintenance, or operation of a public 
        cemetery not operated for profit. In the case of a 
        trust, the preceding sentence shall apply only to gross

          (3) Pooled income funds.--In the case of a pooled 
        income fund (as defined in paragraph (5)), there shall 
        also be allowed as a deduction in computing its taxable 
        income any amount of the gross income attributable to 
        gain from the sale of a capital asset held for more 
        than 1 year, without limitation, which pursuant to the 
        terms of the governing instrument is, during the 
        taxable year, permanently set aside for a purpose 
        specified in section 170(c).
          (4) Adjustments.--To the extent that the amount 
        otherwise allowable as a deduction under this 
        subsection consists of gain described in section 
        1202(a), proper adjustment shall be made for any 
        exclusion allowable to the estate or trust under 
        section 1202. In the case of a trust, the deduction 
        allowed by this subsection shall be subject to section 
        681 (relating to unrelated business income).
          (5) Definition of pooled income fund.--For purposes 
        of paragraph (3), a pooled income fund is a trust--
                  (A) to which each donor transfers property, 
                contributing an irrevocable remainder interest 
                in such property to or for the use of an 
                organization described in section 170(b)(1)(A) 
                (other than in clauses (vii) or (viii)), and 
                retaining an income interest for the life of 
                one or more beneficiaries (living at the time 
                of such transfer),
                  (B) in which the property transferred by each 
                donor is commingled with property transferred 
                by other donors who have made or make similar 
                transfers,
                  (C) which cannot have investments in 
                securities which are exempt from the taxes 
                imposed by this subtitle,
                  (D) which includes only amounts received from 
                transfers which meet the requirements of this 
                paragraph,
                  (E) which is maintained by the organization 
                to which the remainder interest is contributed 
                and of which no donor or beneficiary of an 
                income interest is a trustee, and
                  (F) from which each beneficiary of an income 
                interest receives income, for each year for 
                which he is entitled to receive the income 
                interest referred to in subparagraph (A), 
                determined by the rate of return earned by the 
                trust for such year.
        For purposes of determining the amount of any 
        charitable contribution allowable by reason of a 
        transfer of property to a pooled fund, the value of the 
        income interest shall be determined on the basis of the 
        highest rate of return earned by the fund for any of 
        the 3 taxable years immediately preceding the taxable 
        year of the fund in which the transfer is made. In the 
        case of funds in existence less than 3 taxable years 
        preceding the taxable year of the fund in which a 
        transfer is made the rate of return shall be deemed to 
        be 6 percent per annum, except that the Secretary may 
        prescribe a different rate of return.
          (6) Taxable private foundations.--In the case of a 
        private foundation which is not exempt from taxation 
        under section 501(a) for the taxable year, the 
        provisions of this subsection shall not apply and the 
        provisions of section 170 shall apply.
  (d) Net operating loss deduction.--The benefit of the 
deduction for net operating losses provided by section 172 
shall be allowed to estates and trusts under regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary.
  (e) Deduction for depreciation and depletion.--An estate or 
trust shall be allowed the deduction for depreciation and 
depletion only to the extent not allowable to beneficiaries 
under section 167(d) and 611(b).
  (f) Amortization deductions.--The benefit of the deductions 
for amortization provided by sections 169 and 197 shall be 
allowed to estates and trusts in the same manner as in the case 
of an individual. The allowable deduction shall be apportioned 
between the income beneficiaries and the fiduciary under 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
  (g) Disallowance of double deductions.--Amounts allowable 
under section 2053 or 2054 as a deduction in computing the 
taxable estate of a decedent shall not be allowed as a 
deduction (or as an offset against the sales price of property 
in determining gain or loss) in computing the taxable income of 
the estate or of any other person, unless there is filed, 
within the time and in the manner and form prescribed by the 
Secretary, a statement that the amounts have not been allowed 
as deductions under section 2053 or 2054 and a waiver of the 
right to have such amounts allowed at any time as deductions 
under section 2053 or 2054. Rules similar to the rules of the 
preceding sentence shall apply to amounts which may be taken 
into account under section 2621(a)(2) or 2622(b). This 
subsection shall not apply with respect to deductions allowed 
under part II (relating to income in respect of decedents).
  (h) Unused loss carryovers and excess deductions on 
termination available to beneficiaries.--If on the termination 
of an estate or trust, the estate or trust has--
          (1) a net operating loss carryover under section 172 
        or a capital loss carryover under section 1212, or
          (2) for the last taxable year of the estate or trust 
        deductions (other than the deductions allowed under 
        subsections (b) or (c)) in excess of gross income for 
        such year,
then such carryover or such excess shall be allowed as a 
deduction, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the 
Secretary, to the beneficiaries succeeding to the property of 
the estate or trust.
  (i) Certain distributions by cemetery perpetual care funds.--
In the case of a cemetery perpetual care fund which--
          (1) was created pursuant to local law by a taxable 
        cemetery corporation for the care and maintenance of 
        cemetery property, and
          (2) is treated for the taxable year as a trust for 
        purposes of this subchapter,
any amount distributed by such fund for the care and 
maintenance of gravesites which have been purchased from the 
cemetery corporation before the beginning of the taxable year 
of the trust and with respect to which there is an obligation 
to furnish care and maintenance shall be considered to be a 
distribution solely for purposes of sections 651 and 661, but 
only to the extent that the aggregate amount so distributed 
during the taxable year does not exceed $5 multiplied by the 
aggregate number of such gravesites.

SEC. 643. DEFINITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBPARTS A, B, C, AND D.

  (a) Distributable net income.--For purposes of this part, the 
term ``distributable net income'' means, with respect to any 
taxable year, the taxable income of the estate or trust 
computed with the following modifications--
          (1) Deduction for distributions.--No deduction shall 
        be taken under sections 651 and 661 (relating to 
        additional deductions).
          (2)  [Deduction for personal exemption] Basic 
        deduction.--No deduction shall be taken under section 
        642(b) [(relating to deduction for personal 
        exemptions)] (relating to basic deduction).
          (3) Capital gains and losses.--Gains from the sale or 
        exchange of capital assets shall be excluded to the 
        extent that such gains are allocated to corpus and are 
        not (A) paid, credited, or required to be distributed 
        to any beneficiary during the taxable year, or (B) 
        paid, permanently set aside, or to be used for the 
        purposes specified in section 642(c). Losses from the 
        sale or exchange of capital assets shall be excluded, 
        except to the extent such losses are taken into account 
        in determining the amount of gains from the sale or 
        exchange of capital assets which are paid, credited, or 
        required to be distributed to any beneficiary during 
        the taxable year. The exclusion under section 1202 
        shall not be taken into account.
          (4) Extraordinary dividends and taxable stock 
        dividends.--For purposes only of subpart B (relating to 
        trusts which distribute current income only), there 
        shall be excluded those items of gross income 
        constituting extraordinary dividends or taxable stock 
        dividends which the fiduciary, acting in good faith, 
        does not pay or credit to any beneficiary by reason of 
        his determination that such dividends are allocable to 
        corpus under the terms of the governing instrument and 
        applicable local law.
          (5) Tax-exempt interest.--There shall be included any 
        tax-exempt interest to which section 103 applies, 
        reduced by any amounts which would be deductible in 
        respect of disbursements allocable to such interest but 
        for the provisions of section 265 (relating to 
        disallowance of certain deductions).
          (6) Income of foreign trust.--In the case of a 
        foreign trust--
                  (A) There shall be included the amounts of 
                gross income from sources without the United 
                States, reduced by any amounts which would be 
                deductible in respect of disbursements 
                allocable to such income but for the provisions 
                of section 265(a)(1) (relating to disallowance 
                of certain deductions).
                  (B) Gross income from sources within the 
                United States shall be determined without 
                regard to section 894 (relating to income 
                exempt under treaty).
                  (C) Paragraph (3) shall not apply to a 
                foreign trust. In the case of such a trust, 
                there shall be included gains from the sale or 
                exchange of capital assets, reduced by losses 
                from such sales or exchanges to the extent such 
                losses do not exceed gains from such sales or 
                exchanges.
          (7) Abusive transactions.--The Secretary shall 
        prescribe such regulations as may be necessary or 
        appropriate to carry out the purposes of this part, 
        including regulations to prevent avoidance of such 
        purposes.
If the estate or trust is allowed a deduction under section 
642(c), the amount of the modifications specified in paragraphs 
(5) and (6) shall be reduced to the extent that the amount of 
income which is paid, permanently set aside, or to be used for 
the purposes specified in section 642(c) is deemed to consist 
of items specified in those paragraphs. For this purpose, such 
amount shall (in the absence of specific provisions in the 
governing instrument) be deemed to consist of the same 
proportion of each class of items of income of the estate or 
trust as the total of each class bears to the total of all 
classes.
  (b) Income.--For purposes of this subpart and subparts B, C, 
and D, the term ``income'', when not preceded by the words 
``taxable'', ``distributable net'', ``undistributed net'', or 
``gross'', means the amount of income of the estate or trust 
for the taxable year determined under the terms of the 
governing instrument and applicable local law. Items of gross 
income constituting extraordinary dividends or taxable stock 
dividends which the fiduciary, acting in good faith, determines 
to be allocable to corpus under the terms of the governing 
instrument and applicable local law shall not be considered 
income.
  (c) Beneficiary.--For purposes of this part, the term 
``beneficiary'' includes heir, legatee, devisee.
  (d) Coordination with back-up withholding.--Except to the 
extent otherwise provided in regulations, this subchapter shall 
be applied with respect to payments subject to withholding 
under section 3406--
          (1) by allocating between the estate or trust and its 
        beneficiaries any credit allowable under section 31(c) 
        (on the basis of their respective shares of any such 
        payment taken into account under this subchapter),
          (2) by treating each beneficiary to whom such credit 
        is allocated as if an amount equal to such credit has 
        been paid to him by the estate or trust, and
          (3) by allowing the estate or trust a deduction in an 
        amount equal to the credit so allocated to 
        beneficiaries.
  (e) Treatment of property distributed in kind.--
          (1) Basis of beneficiary.--The basis of any property 
        received by a beneficiary in a distribution from an 
        estate or trust shall be--
                  (A) the adjusted basis of such property in 
                the hands of the estate or trust immediately 
                before the distribution, adjusted for
                  (B) any gain or loss recognized to the estate 
                or trust on the distribution.
          (2) Amount of distribution.--In the case of any 
        distribution of property (other than cash), the amount 
        taken into account under sections 661(a)(2) and 
        662(a)(2) shall be the lesser of--
                  (A) the basis of such property in the hands 
                of the beneficiary (as determined under 
                paragraph (1)), or
                  (B) the fair market value of such property.
          (3) Election to recognize gain.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of any 
                distribution of property (other than cash) to 
                which an election under this paragraph 
                applies--
                          (i) paragraph (2) shall not apply,
                          (ii) gain or loss shall be recognized 
                        by the estate or trust in the same 
                        manner as if such property had been 
                        sold to the distributee at its fair 
                        market value, and
                          (iii) the amount taken into account 
                        under sections 661(a)(2) and 662(a)(2) 
                        shall be the fair market value of such 
                        property.
                  (B) Election.--Any election under this 
                paragraph shall apply to all distributions made 
                by the estate or trust during a taxable year 
                and shall be made on the return of such estate 
                or trust for such taxable year.
        Any such election, once made, may be revoked only with 
        the consent of the Secretary.
          (4) Exception for distributions described in section 
        663(a).--This subsection shall not apply to any 
        distribution described in section 663(a).
  (f) Treatment of multiple trusts.--For purposes of this 
subchapter, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, 2 or 
more trusts shall be treated as 1 trust if--
          (1) such trusts have substantially the same grantor 
        or grantors and substantially the same primary 
        beneficiary or beneficiaries, and
          (2) a principal purpose of such trusts is the 
        avoidance of the tax imposed by this chapter.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, a husband and wife 
shall be treated as 1 person.
  (g) Certain payments of estimated tax treated as paid by 
beneficiary.--
          (1) In general.--In the case of a trust--
                  (A) the trustee may elect to treat any 
                portion of a payment of estimated tax made by 
                such trust for any taxable year of the trust as 
                a payment made by a beneficiary of such trust,
                  (B) any amount so treated shall be treated as 
                paid or credited to the beneficiary on the last 
                day of such taxable year, and
                  (C) for purposes of subtitle F, the amount so 
                treated--
                          (i) shall not be treated as a payment 
                        of estimated tax made by the trust, but
                          (ii) shall be treated as a payment of 
                        estimated tax made by such beneficiary 
                        on January 15 following the taxable

        paragraph (1) shall be made on or before the 65th day 
        after the close of the taxable year of the trust and in

          (3) Extension to last year of estate.--In the case of 
        a taxable year reasonably expected to be the last 
        taxable year of an estate--
                  (A) any reference in this subsection to a 
                trust shall be treated as including a reference 
                to an estate, and
                  (B) the fiduciary of the estate shall be 
                treated as the trustee.
  (h) Distributions by certain foreign trusts through 
nominees.--For purposes of this part, any amount paid to a 
United States person which is derived directly or indirectly 
from a foreign trust of which the payor is not the grantor 
shall be deemed in the year of payment to have been directly 
paid by the foreign trust to such United States person.
  (i) Loans from foreign trusts.--For purposes of subparts B, 
C, and D--
          (1) General rule.--Except as provided in regulations, 
        if a foreign trust makes a loan of cash or marketable 
        securities (or permits the use of any other trust 
        property) directly or indirectly to or by--
                  (A) any grantor or beneficiary of such trust 
                who is a United States person, or
                  (B) any United States person not described in 
                subparagraph (A) who is related to such grantor 
                or beneficiary,
        the amount of such loan (or the fair market value of 
        the use of such property) shall be treated as a 
        distribution by such trust to such grantor or 
        beneficiary (as the case may be).

        this subsection--

                  (B) Related person.--

                        to another person if the relationship 
                        between such persons would result in a 
                        disallowance of losses under section 
                        267 or 707(b). In applying section 267 
                        for purposes of the preceding sentence, 
                        section 267(c)(4) shall be applied as 
                        if the family of an individual includes 
                        the spouses of the members of the 
                        family.

                        described in paragraph (1)(B) is 
                        related to more than one person, the 
                        grantor or beneficiary to whom the 
                        treatment under this subsection applies 
                        shall be determined under regulations 
                        prescribed by the Secretary.
                  (C) Exclusion of tax-exempts.--The term 
                ``United States person'' does not include any 
                entity exempt from tax under this chapter.
                  (D) Trust not treated as simple trust.--Any 
                trust which is treated under this subsection as 
                making a distribution shall be treated as not 
                described in section 651.
                  (E) Exception for compensated use of 
                property.--In the case of the use of any trust 
                property other than a loan of cash or 
                marketable securities, paragraph (1) shall not 
                apply to the extent that the trust is paid the 
                fair market value of such use within a 
                reasonable period of time of such use.
          (3) Subsequent transactions.--If any loan (or use of 
        property) is taken into account under paragraph (1), 
        any subsequent transaction between the trust and the 
        original borrower regarding the principal of the loan 
        (by way of complete or partial repayment, satisfaction, 
        cancellation, discharge, or otherwise) or the return of 
        such property shall be disregarded for purposes of this 
        title.

SEC. 891. DOUBLING OF RATES OF TAX ON CITIZENS AND CORPORATIONS OF 
                    CERTAIN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

  Whenever the President finds that, under the laws of any 
foreign country, citizens or corporations of the United States 
are being subjected to discriminatory or extraterritorial 
taxes, the President shall so proclaim and the rates of tax 
imposed by sections 1, 3, 11, 801, 831, 852, 871, and 881 
shall, for the taxable year during which such proclamation is 
made and for each taxable year thereafter, be doubled in the 
case of each citizen and corporation of such foreign country; 
but the tax at such doubled rate shall be considered as imposed 
by such sections as the case may be. In no case shall this 
section operate to increase the taxes imposed by such sections 
(computed without regard to this section) to an amount in 
excess of 80 percent of the taxable income of the taxpayer 
(computed without regard to the deductions allowable [under 
section 151 and] under part VIII of subchapter B). Whenever the 
President finds that the laws of any foreign country with 
respect to which the President has made a proclamation under 
the preceding provisions of this section have been modified so 
that discriminatory and extraterritorial taxes applicable to 
citizens and corporations of the United States have been 
removed, he shall so proclaim, and the provisions of this 
section providing for doubled rates of tax shall not apply to 
any citizen or corporation of such foreign country with respect 
to any taxable year beginning after such proclamation is made.

                        gain from the sale or exchange of 
                        capital assets only in an amount equal

                        accrued by the taxpayer with respect to

                          (ii) the total amount of earnings and 
                        profits.
                  (E) Look-thru applies only where subpart F 
                applies.--If a controlled foreign corporation 
                meets the requirements of section 954(b)(3)(A) 
                (relating to de minimis rule) for any taxable 
                year, for purposes of this paragraph, none of 
                its foreign base company income (as defined in 
                section 954(a) without regard to section 
                954(b)(5)) and none of its gross insurance 
                income (as defined in section 954(b)(3)(C)) for 
                such taxable year shall be treated as passive 
                category income, except that this sentence 
                shall not apply to any income which (without 
                regard to this sentence) would be treated as 
                financial services income. Solely for purposes 
                of applying subparagraph (D), passive income of 
                a controlled foreign corporation shall not be 
                treated as passive category income if the 
                requirements of section 954(b)(4) are met with 
                respect to such income.
                  (F) Coordination with high-taxed income 
                provisions.--
                          (i) In determining whether any income 
                        of a controlled foreign corporation is 
                        passive category income, subclause (II) 
                        of paragraph (2)(B)(iii) shall not 
                        apply.
                          (ii) Any income of the taxpayer which 
                        is treated as passive category income 
                        under this paragraph shall be so 
                        treated notwithstanding any provision 
                        of paragraph (2); except that the 
                        determination of whether any amount is 
                        high-taxed income shall be made after 
                        the application of this paragraph.
                  (G) Dividend.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, the term ``dividend'' includes any 
                amount included in gross income in section 
                951(a)(1)(B). Any amount included in gross 
                income under section 78 to the extent 
                attributable to amounts included in gross 
                income in section 951(a)(1)(A) shall not be 
                treated as a dividend but shall be treated as 
                included in gross income under section 
                951(a)(1)(A).
                  (H) Look-thru applies to passive foreign 
                investment company inclusion.--If--
                          (i) a passive foreign investment 
                        company is a controlled foreign 
                        corporation, and
                          (ii) the taxpayer is a United States 
                        shareholder in such controlled foreign 
                        corporation,
                any amount included in gross income under 
                section 1293 shall be treated as income in a 
                separate category to the extent such amount is 
                attributable to income in such category.
          (4) Look-thru applies to dividends from noncontrolled 
        10-percent owned foreign corporations.--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of this 
                subsection, any dividend from a noncontrolled 
                10-percent owned foreign corporation with 
                respect to the taxpayer shall be treated as 
                income described in a subparagraph of paragraph 
                (1) in proportion to the ratio of--
                          (i) the portion of earnings and 
                        profits attributable to income 
                        described in such subparagraph, to
                          (ii) the total amount of earnings and 
                        profits.
                  (B) Earnings and profits of controlled 
                foreign corporations.--In the case of any 
                distribution from a controlled foreign 
                corporation to a United States shareholder, 
                rules similar to the rules of subparagraph (A) 
                shall apply in determining the extent to which 
                earnings and profits of the controlled foreign 
                corporation which are attributable to dividends 
                received from a noncontrolled 10-percent owned 
                foreign corporation may be treated as income in 
                a separate category.
                  (C) Special rules.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph--
                          (i) Earnings and profits.--
                                  (I) In general.--The rules of 
                                section 316 shall apply.
                                  (II) Regulations.--The 
                                Secretary may prescribe 
                                regulations regarding the 
                                treatment of distributions out 
                                of earnings and profits for 
                                periods before the taxpayer's 
                                acquisition of the stock to 
                                which the distributions relate.
                          (ii) Inadequate substantiation.--If 
                        the Secretary determines that the 
                        proper subparagraph of paragraph (1) in 
                        which a dividend is described has not 
                        been substantiated, such dividend shall 
                        be treated as income described in 
                        paragraph (1)(A).
                          (iii) Coordination with high-taxed 
                        income provisions.--Rules similar to 
                        the rules of paragraph (3)(F) shall 
                        apply for purposes of this paragraph.
                          (iv) Look-thru with respect to 
                        carryover of credit.--Rules similar to 
                        subparagraph (A) also shall apply to 
                        any carryforward under subsection (c) 
                        from a taxable year beginning before 
                        January 1, 2003, of tax allocable to a 
                        dividend from a noncontrolled 10-
                        percent owned foreign corporation with 
                        respect to the taxpayer. The Secretary 
                        may by regulations provide for the 
                        allocation of any carryback of tax 
                        allocable to a dividend from a 
                        noncontrolled 10-percent owned foreign 
                        corporation from a taxable year 
                        beginning on or after January 1, 2003, 
                        to a taxable year beginning before such 
                        date for purposes of allocating such 
                        dividend among the separate categories 
                        in effect for the taxable year to which 
                        carried.
          (5) Controlled foreign corporation; United States 
        shareholder.--For purposes of this subsection--
                  (A) Controlled foreign corporation.--The term 
                ``controlled foreign corporation'' has the 
                meaning given such term by section 957 (taking 
                into account section 953(c)).
                  (B) United States shareholder.--The term 
                ``United States shareholder'' has the meaning 
                given such term by section 951(b) (taking into 
                account section 953(c)).
          (6) Separate application to items resourced under 
        treaties.--
                  (A) In general.--If--
                          (i) without regard to any treaty 
                        obligation of the United States, any 
                        item of income would be treated as 
                        derived from sources within the United 
                        States,
                          (ii) under a treaty obligation of the 
                        United States, such item would be 
                        treated as arising from sources outside 
                        the United States, and
                          (iii) the taxpayer chooses the 
                        benefits of such treaty obligation,
                subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section 
                and sections 907 and 960 shall be applied 
                separately with respect to each such item.
                  (B) Coordination with other provisions.--This 
                paragraph shall not apply to any item of income 
                to which subsection (h)(10) or section 865(h) 
                applies.
                  (C) Regulations.--The Secretary may issue 
                such regulations or other guidance as is 
                necessary or appropriate to carry out the 
                purposes of this paragraph, including 
                regulations or other guidance which provides 
                that related items of income may be aggregated 
                for purposes of this paragraph.
          (7) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
        regulations as may be necessary or appropriate for the 
        purposes of this subsection, including regulations--
                  (A) for the application of paragraph (3) and 
                subsection (f)(5) in the case of income paid 
                (or loans made) through 1 or more entities or 
                between 2 or more chains of entities,
                  (B) preventing the manipulation of the 
                character of income the effect of which is to 
                avoid the purposes of this subsection, and
                  (C) providing that rules similar to the rules 
                of paragraph (3)(C) shall apply to interest, 
                rents, and royalties received or accrued from 
                entities which would be controlled foreign 
                corporations if they were foreign corporations.
  (f) Recapture of overall foreign loss.--
          (1) General rule.--For purposes of this subpart, in 
        the case of any taxpayer who sustains an overall 
        foreign loss for any taxable year, that portion of the 
        taxpayer's taxable income from sources without the 
        United States for each succeeding taxable year which is 
        equal to the lesser of--
                  (A) the amount of such loss (to the extent 
                not used under this paragraph in prior taxable 
                years), or
                  (B) 50 percent (or such larger percent as the 
                taxpayer may choose) of the taxpayer's taxable 
                income from sources without the United States 
                for such succeeding taxable year,
        shall be treated as income from sources within the 
        United States (and not as income from sources without 
        the United States).
          (2) Overall foreign loss defined.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``overall foreign loss'' 
        means the amount by which the gross income for the 
        taxable year from sources without the United States 
        (whether or not the taxpayer chooses the benefits of 
        this subpart for such taxable year) for such year is 
        exceeded by the sum of the deductions properly 
        apportioned or allocated thereto, except that there 
        shall not be taken into account--
                  (A) any net operating loss deduction 
                allowable for such year under section 172(a), 
                and
                  (B) any--
                          (i) foreign expropriation loss for 
                        such year, as defined in section 172(h) 
                        (as in effect on the day before the 
                        date of the enactment of the Revenue 
                        Reconciliation Act of 1990), or
                          (ii) loss for such year which arises 
                        from fire, storm, shipwreck, or other 
                        casualty, or from theft,
        to the extent such loss is not compensated for by 
        insurance or otherwise.
          (3) Dispositions.--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of this 
                chapter, if property which has been used 
                predominantly without the United States in a 
                trade or business is disposed of during any 
                taxable year--
                          (i) the taxpayer, notwithstanding any 
                        other provision of this chapter (other 
                        than paragraph (1)), shall be deemed to 
                        have received and recognized taxable 
                        income from sources without the United 
                        States in the taxable year of the 
                        disposition, by reason of such 
                        disposition, in an amount equal to the 
                        lesser of the excess of the fair market 
                        value of such property over the 
                        taxpayer's adjusted basis in such 
                        property or the remaining amount of the 
                        overall foreign losses which were not 
                        used under paragraph (1) for such 
                        taxable year or any prior taxable year, 
                        and
                          (ii) paragraph (1) shall be applied 
                        with respect to such income by 
                        substituting ``100 percent'' for ``50 
                        percent''.
                In determining for purposes of this 
                subparagraph whether the predominant use of any 
                property has been without the United States, 
                there shall be taken into account use during 
                the 3-year period ending on the date of the 
                disposition (or, if shorter, the period during 
                which the property has been used in the trade 
                or business).
                  (B) Disposition defined and special rules.--
                          (i) For purposes of this subsection, 
                        the term ``disposition'' includes a 
                        sale, exchange, distribution, or gift 
                        of property whether or not gain or loss 
                        is recognized on the transfer.
                          (ii) Any taxable income recognized 
                        solely by reason of subparagraph (A) 
                        shall have the same characterization it 
                        would have had if the taxpayer had sold 
                        or exchanged the property.
                          (iii) The Secretary shall prescribe 
                        such regulations as he may deem 
                        necessary to provide for adjustments to 
                        the basis of property to reflect 
                        taxable income recognized solely by 
                        reason of subparagraph (A).
                  (C) Exceptions.--Notwithstanding subparagraph 
                (B), the term ``disposition'' does not 
                include--
                          (i) a disposition of property which 
                        is not a material factor in the 
                        realization of income by the taxpayer, 
                        or
                          (ii) a disposition of property to a 
                        domestic corporation in a distribution 
                        or transfer described in section 
                        381(a).

                stock in controlled foreign corporation.--
                          (i) In general.--This paragraph shall 
                        apply to an applicable disposition in 
                        the same manner as if it were a 
                        disposition of property described in 
                        subparagraph (A), except that the 
                        exception contained in subparagraph 
                        (C)(i) shall not apply.
                          (ii) Applicable disposition.--For 
                        purposes of clause (i), the term 
                        ``applicable disposition'' means any 
                        disposition of any share of stock in a 
                        controlled foreign corporation in a 
                        transaction or series of transactions 
                        if, immediately before such transaction 
                        or series of transactions, the taxpayer 
                        owned more than 50 percent (by vote or 
                        value) of the stock of the controlled 
                        foreign corporation. Such term shall 
                        not include a disposition described in 
                        clause (iii) or (iv), except that 
                        clause (i) shall apply to any gain 
                        recognized on any such disposition.
                          (iii) Exception for certain exchanges 
                        where ownership percentage retained.--A 
                        disposition shall not be treated as an 
                        applicable disposition under clause 
                        (ii) if it is part of a transaction or 
                        series of transactions--
                                  (I) to which section 351 or 
                                721 applies, or under which the 
                                transferor receives stock in a 
                                foreign corporation in exchange 
                                for the stock in the controlled 
                                foreign corporation and the 
                                stock received is exchanged 
                                basis property (as defined in 
                                section 7701(a)(44)), and
                                  (II) immediately after which, 
                                the transferor owns (by vote or 
                                value) at least the same 
                                percentage of stock in the 
                                controlled foreign corporation 
                                (or, if the controlled foreign 
                                corporation is not in existence 
                                after such transaction or 
                                series of transactions, in 
                                another foreign corporation 
                                stock in which was received by 
                                the transferor in exchange for 
                                stock in the controlled foreign 
                                corporation) as the percentage 
                                of stock in the controlled 
                                foreign corporation which the 
                                taxpayer owned immediately 
                                before such transaction or 
                                series of transactions.
                          (iv) Exception for certain asset 
                        acquisitions.--A disposition shall not 
                        be treated as an applicable disposition 
                        under clause (ii) if it is part of a 
                        transaction or series of transactions 
                        in which the taxpayer (or any member of 
                        an affiliated group of corporations 
                        filing a consolidated return under 
                        section 1501 which includes the 
                        taxpayer) acquires the assets of a 
                        controlled foreign corporation in 
                        exchange for the shares of the 
                        controlled foreign corporation in a 
                        liquidation described in section 332 or 
                        a reorganization described in section 
                        368(a)(1).
                          (v) Controlled foreign corporation.--
                        For purposes of this subparagraph, the 
                        term ``controlled foreign corporation'' 
                        has the meaning given such term by 
                        section 957.
                          (vi) Stock ownership.--For purposes 
                        of this subparagraph, ownership of 
                        stock shall be determined under the 
                        rules of subsections (a) and (b) of 
                        section 958.
          (4) Accumulation distributions of foreign trust.--For 
        purposes of this chapter, in the case of amounts of 
        income from sources without the United States which are 
        treated under section 666 (without regard to 
        subsections (b) and (c) thereof if the taxpayer chose 
        to take a deduction with respect to the amounts 
        described in such subsections under section 
        667(d)(1)(B)) as having been distributed by a foreign 
        trust in a preceding taxable year, that portion of such 
        amounts equal to the amount of any overall foreign loss 
        sustained by the beneficiary in a year prior to the 
        taxable year of the beneficiary in which such 
        distribution is received from the trust shall be 
        treated as income from sources within the United States 
        (and not income from sources without the United States) 
        to the extent that such loss was not used under this 
        subsection in prior taxable years, or in the current 
        taxable year, against other income of the beneficiary.
          (5) Treatment of separate limitation losses.--
                  (A) In general.--The amount of the separate 
                limitation losses for any taxable year shall 
                reduce income from sources within the United 
                States for such taxable year only to the extent 
                the aggregate amount of such losses exceeds the 
                aggregate amount of the separate limitation 
                incomes for such taxable year.
                  (B) Allocation of losses.--The separate 
                limitation losses for any taxable year (to the 
                extent such losses do not exceed the separate 
                limitation incomes for such year) shall be 
                allocated among (and operate to reduce) such 
                incomes on a proportionate basis.
                  (C) Recharacterization of subsequent 
                income.--If--
                          (i) a separate limitation loss from 
                        any income category (hereinafter in 
                        this subparagraph referred to as ``the 
                        loss category'') was allocated to 
                        income from any other category under 
                        subparagraph (B), and
                          (ii) the loss category has income for 
                        a subsequent taxable year,
                such income (to the extent it does not exceed 
                the aggregate separate limitation losses from 
                the loss category not previously 
                recharacterized under this subparagraph) shall 
                be recharacterized as income from such other 
                category in proportion to the prior reductions 
                under subparagraph (B) in such other category 
                not previously taken into account under this 
                subparagraph. Nothing in the preceding sentence 
                shall be construed as recharacterizing any tax.
                  (D) Special rules for losses from sources in 
                the United States.--Any loss from sources in 
                the United States for any taxable year (to the 
                extent such loss does not exceed the separate 
                limitation incomes from such year) shall be 
                allocated among (and operate to reduce) such 
                incomes on a proportionate basis. This 
                subparagraph shall be applied after 
                subparagraph (B).
                  (E) Definitions.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph--
                          (i) Income category.--The term 
                        ``income category'' means each separate 
                        category of income described in 
                        subsection (d)(1).
                          (ii) Separate limitation income.--The 
                        term ``separate limitation income'' 
                        means, with respect to any income 
                        category, the taxable income from 
                        sources outside the United States, 
                        separately computed for such category.
                          (iii) Separate limitation loss.--The 
                        term ``separate limitation loss'' 
                        means, with respect to any income 
                        category, the loss from such category 
                        determined under the principles of 
                        section 907(c)(4)(B).
                  (F) Dispositions.--If any separate limitation 
                loss for any taxable year is allocated against 
                any separate limitation income for such taxable 
                year, except to the extent provided in 
                regulations, rules similar to the rules of 
                paragraph (3) shall apply to any disposition of 
                property if gain from such disposition would be 
                in the income category with respect to which 
                there was such separate limitation loss.
  (g) Recharacterization of overall domestic loss.--
          (1) General rule.--For purposes of this subpart and 
        section 936, in the case of any taxpayer who sustains 
        an overall domestic loss for any taxable year beginning 
        after December 31, 2006, that portion of the taxpayer's 
        taxable income from sources within the United States 
        for each succeeding taxable year which is equal to the 
        lesser of--
                  (A) the amount of such loss (to the extent 
                not used under this paragraph in prior taxable 
                years), or
                  (B) 50 percent of the taxpayer's taxable 
                income from sources within the United States 
                for such succeeding taxable year,
        shall be treated as income from sources without the 
        United States (and not as income from sources within 
        the United States).
          (2) Overall domestic loss.--For purposes of this 
        subsection--
                  (A) In general.--The term ``overall domestic 
                loss'' means--
                          (i) with respect to any qualified 
                        taxable year, the domestic loss for 
                        such taxable year to the extent such 
                        loss offsets taxable income from 
                        sources without the United States for 
                        the taxable year or for any preceding 
                        qualified taxable year by reason of a 
                        carryback, and
                          (ii) with respect to any other 
                        taxable year, the domestic loss for 
                        such taxable year to the extent such 
                        loss offsets taxable income from 
                        sources without the United States for 
                        any preceding qualified taxable year by 
                        reason of a carryback.
                  (B) Domestic loss.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``domestic loss'' 
                means the amount by which the gross income for

                properly apportioned or allocated thereto 
                (determined without regard to any carryback 
                from a subsequent taxable year).
                  (C) Qualified taxable year.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``qualified taxable 
                year'' means any taxable year for which the 
                taxpayer chose the benefits of this subpart.
          (3) Characterization of subsequent income.--

                within the United States that is treated as 
                income from sources without the United States

                and increase the income categories in 
                proportion to the loss from sources within the 
                United States previously allocated to those 
                income categories.
                  (B) Income category.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph, the term ``income category'' has the 
                meaning given such term by subsection 
                (f)(5)(E)(i).
          (4) Coordination with subsection (f).--The Secretary 
        shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to

          (5) Election to increase percentage of taxable income 
        treated as foreign source.--
                  (A) In general.--If any pre-2018 unused 
                overall domestic loss is taken into account 
                under paragraph (1) for any applicable taxable 
                year, the taxpayer may elect to have such 
                paragraph applied to such loss by substituting 
                a percentage greater than 50 percent (but not 
                greater than 100 percent) for 50 percent in 
                subparagraph (B) thereof.

                For purposes of this paragraph, the term ``pre-
                2018 unused overall domestic loss'' means any 
                overall domestic loss which--

                income under section 951(a)(1) shall be treated 
                as a dividend under subparagraph (A)(ii) only

                States shareholder in the United States-owned 
                foreign corporation), if paid to the United 
                States shareholder, would be treated under a

credit limitations.--If 2 or more domestic corporations would 
be members of the same affiliated group if--

        the exceptions contained therein, and
          (2) the constructive ownership rules of section 
        1563(e) applied for purposes of section 1504(a),
the Secretary may by regulations provide for resourcing the

avoidance of the provisions of this subpart.

SEC. 1212. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYBACKS AND CARRYOVERS.

  (a) Corporations.--
          (1) In general.--If a corporation has a net capital 
        loss for any taxable year (hereinafter in this 
        paragraph referred to as the ``loss year''), the amount 
        thereof shall be--
                  (A) a capital loss carryback to each of the 3 
                taxable years preceding the loss year, but only 
                to the extent--
                          (i) such loss is not attributable to 
                        a foreign expropriation capital loss, 
                        and
                          (ii) the carryback of such loss does 
                        not increase or produce a net operating 
                        loss (as defined in section 172(c)) for 
                        the taxable year to which it is being 
                        carried back;
                  (B) except as provided in subparagraph (C), a 
                capital loss carryover to each of the 5 taxable 
                years succeeding the loss year; and
                  (C) a capital loss carryover to each of the 
                10 taxable years succeeding the loss year, but 
                only to the extent such loss is attributable to 
                a foreign expropriation loss,
        and shall be treated as a short-term capital loss in 
        each such taxable year. The entire amount of the net 
        capital loss for any taxable year shall be carried to 
        the earliest of the taxable years to which such loss 
        may be carried, and the portion of such loss which 
        shall be carried to each of the other taxable years to 
        which such loss may be carried shall be the excess, if 
        any, of such loss over the total of the capital gain 
        net income for each of the prior taxable years to which 
        such loss may be carried. For purposes of the preceding 
        sentence, the capital gain net income for any such 
        prior taxable year shall be computed without regard to 
        the net capital loss for the loss year or for any 
        taxable year thereafter. In the case of any net capital 
        loss which cannot be carried back in full to a 
        preceding taxable year by reason of clause (ii) of 
        subparagraph (A), the capital gain net income for such 
        prior taxable year shall in no case be treated as 
        greater than the amount of such loss which can be 
        carried back to such preceding taxable year upon the 
        application of such clause (ii).
          (2) Definitions and special rules.--
                  (A) Foreign expropriation capital loss 
                defined.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
                term ``foreign expropriation capital loss'' 
                means, for any taxable year, the sum of the 
                losses taken into account in computing the net 
                capital loss for such year which are--
                          (i) losses sustained directly by 
                        reason of the expropriation, 
                        intervention, seizure, or similar 
                        taking of property by the government of 
                        any foreign country, any political 
                        subdivision thereof, or any agency or 
                        instrumentality of the foregoing, or
                          (ii) losses (treated under section 
                        165(g)(1) as losses from the sale or 
                        exchange of capital assets) from 
                        securities which become worthless by 
                        reason of the expropriation, 
                        intervention, seizure, or similar 
                        taking of property by the government of 
                        any foreign country, any political 
                        subdivision thereof, or any agency or 
                        instrumentality of the foregoing.
                  (B) Portion of loss attributable to foreign 
                expropriation capital loss.--For purposes of 
                paragraph (1), the portion of any net capital 
                loss for any taxable year attributable to a 
                foreign expropriation capital loss is the 
                amount of the foreign expropriation capital 
                loss for such year (but not in excess of the 
                net capital loss for such year).
                  (C) Priority of application.--For purposes of 
                paragraph (1), if a portion of a net capital 
                loss for any taxable year is attributable to a 
                foreign expropriation capital loss, such 
                portion shall be considered to be a separate 
                net capital loss for such year to be applied 
                after the other portion of such net capital 
                loss.
          (3) Regulated investment companies.--
                  (A) In general.--If a regulated investment 
                company has a net capital loss for any taxable 
                year--
                          (i) paragraph (1) shall not apply to 
                        such loss,
                          (ii) the excess of the net short-term 
                        capital loss over the net long-term 
                        capital gain for such year shall be a 
                        short-term capital loss arising on the 
                        first day of the next taxable year, and
                          (iii) the excess of the net long-term 
                        capital loss over the net short-term 
                        capital gain for such year shall be a 
                        long-term capital loss arising on the 
                        first day of the next taxable year.
                  (B) Coordination with general rule.--If a net 
                capital loss to which paragraph (1) applies is 
                carried over to a taxable year of a regulated 
                investment company--
                          (i) Losses to which this paragraph 
                        applies.--Clauses (ii) and (iii) of 
                        subparagraph (A) shall be applied 
                        without regard to any amount treated as 
                        a short-term capital loss under 
                        paragraph (1).
                          (ii) Losses to which general rule 
                        applies.--Paragraph (1) shall be 
                        applied by substituting ``net capital 
                        loss for the loss year or any taxable 
                        year thereafter (other than a net 
                        capital loss to which paragraph (3)(A) 
                        applies)'' for ``net capital loss for 
                        the loss year or any taxable year 
                        thereafter''.
          (4) Special rules on carrybacks.--A net capital loss 
        of a corporation shall not be carried back under 
        paragraph (1)(A) to a taxable year--
                  (A) for which it is a regulated investment 
                company (as defined in section 851), or
                  (B) for which it is a real estate investment 
                trust (as defined in section 856).
  (b) Other taxpayers.--
          (1) In general.--If a taxpayer other than a 
        corporation has a net capital loss for any taxable 
        year--
                  (A) the excess of the net short-term capital 
                loss over the net long-term capital gain for 
                such year shall be a short-term capital loss in 
                the succeeding taxable year, and
                  (B) the excess of the net long-term capital 
                loss over the net short-term capital gain for 
                such year shall be a long-term capital loss in 
                the succeeding taxable year.
          (2) Treatment of amounts allowed under section 
        1211(b)(1) or (2)
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of determining 
                the excess referred to in subparagraph (A) or 
                (B) of paragraph (1), there shall be treated as 
                a short-term capital gain in the taxable year 
                an amount equal to the lesser of--
                          (i) the amount allowed for the 
                        taxable year under paragraph (1) or (2) 
                        of section 1211(b), or
                          (ii) the adjusted taxable income for 
                        such taxable year.
                  (B) Adjusted taxable income.--For purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the term ``adjusted taxable 
                income'' means taxable income increased by the 
                sum of--
                          (i) the amount allowed for the 
                        taxable year under paragraph (1) or (2) 
                        of section 1211(b), and
                          [(ii) the deduction allowed for such 
                        year under section 151 or any deduction 
                        in lieu thereof.]
                          (ii) in the case of an estate or 
                        trust, the deduction allowed for such 
                        year under section 642(b).
                For purposes of the preceding sentence, any 
                excess of the deductions allowed for the 
                taxable year over the gross income for such 
                year shall be taken into account as negative 
                taxable income.
  (c) Carryback of losses from section 1256 contracts to offset 
prior gains from such contracts.--
          (1) In general.--If a taxpayer (other than a 
        corporation) has a net section 1256 contracts loss for 
        the taxable year and elects to have this subsection 
        apply to such taxable year, the amount of such net 
        section 1256 contracts loss--
                  (A) shall be a carryback to each of the 3 
                taxable years preceding the loss year, and
                  (B) to the extent that, after the application 
                of paragraphs (2) and (3), such loss is allowed 
                as a carryback to any such preceding taxable 
                year--
                          (i) 40 percent of the amount so 
                        allowed shall be treated as a short-
                        term capital loss from section 1256 
                        contracts, and
                          (ii) 60 percent of the amount so 
                        allowed shall be treated as a long-term 
                        capital loss from section 1256 
                        contracts.
          (2) Amount carried to each taxable year.--The entire 
        amount of the net section 1256 contracts loss for any 
        taxable year shall be carried to the earliest of the 
        taxable years to which such loss may be carried back 
        under paragraph (1). The portion of such loss which 
        shall be carried to each of the 2 other taxable years 
        to which such loss may be carried back shall be the 
        excess (if any) of such loss over the portion of such 
        loss which, after the application of paragraph (3), was 
        allowed as a carryback for any prior taxable year.
          (3) Amount which may be used in any prior taxable 
        year.--An amount shall be allowed as a carryback under 
        paragraph (1) to any prior taxable year only to the 
        extent--
                  (A) such amount does not exceed the net 
                section 1256 contract gain for such year, and
                  (B) the allowance of such carryback does not 
                increase or produce a net operating loss (as 
                defined in section 172(c)) for such year.
          (4) Net section 1256 contracts loss.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (1), the term ``net section 1256 contracts 
        loss'' means the lesser of--
                  (A) the net capital loss for the taxable year 
                determined by taking into account only gains 
                and losses from section 1256 contracts, or
                  (B) the sum of the amounts which, but for 
                paragraph (6)(A), would be treated as capital 
                losses in the succeeding taxable year under 
                subparagraphs (A) and (B) of subsection (b)(1).
          (5) Net section 1256 contract gain.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (1)--
                  (A) In general.--The term ``net section 1256 
                contract gain'' means the lesser of--
                          (i) the capital gain net income for 
                        the taxable year determined by taking 
                        into account only gains and losses from 
                        section 1256 contracts, or
                          (ii) the capital gain net income for 
                        the taxable year.
                  (B) Special rule.--The net section 1256 
                contract gain for any taxable year before the 
                loss year shall be computed without regard to 
                the net section 1256 contracts loss for the 
                loss year or for any taxable year thereafter.
          (6) Coordination with carryforward provisions of 
        subsection (b)(1)
                  (A) Carryforward amount reduced by amount 
                used as carryback.--For purposes of applying 
                subsection (b)(1), if any portion of the net 
                section 1256 contracts loss for any taxable 
                year is allowed as a carryback under paragraph 
                (1) to any preceding taxable year--
                          (i) 40 percent of the amount allowed 
                        as a carryback shall be treated as a 
                        short-term capital gain for the loss 
                        year, and
                          (ii) 60 percent of the amount allowed 
                        as a carryback shall be treated as a 
                        long-term capital gain for the loss 
                        year.
                  (B) Carryover loss retains character as 
                attributable to section 1256 contract.--Any 
                amount carried forward as a short-term or long-
                term capital loss to any taxable year under 
                subsection (b)(1) (after the application of 
                subparagraph (A)) shall, to the extent 
                attributable to losses from section 1256 
                contracts, be treated as loss from section 1256 
                contracts for such taxable year.
          (7) Other definitions and special rules.--For 
        purposes of this subsection--
                  (A) Section 1256 contract.--The term 
                ``section 1256 contract'' means any section 
                1256 contract (as defined in section 1256(b)) 
                to which section 1256 applies.
                  (B) Exclusion for estates and trusts.--This 
                subsection shall not apply to any estate or 
                trust.

        of such taxable year (and any gain or loss shall be 
        taken into account for the taxable year),
          (2) proper adjustment shall be made in the amount of

                  (B) the taxpayer takes delivery under or 
                exercises any of such contracts,
        then, for purposes of this section, each of the other 
        such contracts shall be treated as terminated on the 
        day on which the taxpayer took delivery.
          (3) Fair market value taken into account.--For

                  (B) with respect to which each position 
                forming part of such straddle is clearly 
                identified, before the close of the day on 
                which the first section 1256 contract forming

                        beneficiary, an election under this 
                        paragraph shall be treated as made by 
                        each successive beneficiary unless such 
                        beneficiary affirmatively refuses to

                        (as defined in subsection (d)(3)) if an

                (A), the term ``purchase'' means any

        (determined without regard to any power of appointment 
        to the extent such power remains unexercised at the end 
        of such period). If a trust disposes of all of the 
        stock which it holds in an S corporation, then, with 
        respect to such corporation, the term ``potential 
        current beneficiary'' does not include any person who 
        first met the requirements of the preceding sentence 
        during the 1-year period ending on the date of such 
        disposition.
          (3) Election.--An election under this subsection

        this subsection, the term ``restricted bank director 
        stock'' means stock in a bank (as defined in section 
        581) or a depository institution holding company (as 
        defined in section 3(w)(1) of the Federal Deposit 
        Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1813(w)(1))), if such stock--
                  (A) is required to be held by an individual 
                under applicable Federal or State law in order 
                to permit such individual to serve as a

                bank or company) pursuant to which the holder 
                is required to sell back such stock (at the 
                same price as the individual acquired such 
                stock) upon ceasing to hold the office of 
                director.
          (3) Cross reference.--For treatment of certain 
        distributions with respect to restricted bank director 
        stock, see section 1368(f).
  (g) Special rule for bank required to change from the reserve 
method of accounting on becoming S corporation.--In the case of 
a bank which changes from the reserve method of accounting for 
bad debts described in section 585 or 593 for its first taxable 
year for which an election under section 1362(a) is in effect, 
the bank may elect to take into account any adjustments under 
section 481 by reason of such change for the taxable year 
immediately preceding such first taxable year.

        real estate dealer; except that the preceding 
        provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any 
        income derived by the owner or tenant of land if (A)

        agricultural or horticultural commodities (including 
        livestock, bees, poultry, and fur-bearing animals and 
        wildlife) on such land, and that there shall be 
        material participation by the owner or tenant (as 
        determined without regard to any activities of an agent 
        of such owner or tenant) in the production or the 
        management of the production of such agricultural or 
        horticultural commodities, and (B) there is material 
        participation by the owner or tenant (as determined 
        without regard to any activities of an agent of such 
        owner or tenant) with respect to any such agricultural 
        or horticultural commodity;
          (2) there shall be excluded dividends on any share of 
        stock, and interest on any bond, debenture, note, or

        and interest are received in the course of a trade or 
        business as a dealer in stocks or securities;
          (3) there shall be excluded any gain or loss--

                the sale or exchange of a capital asset,
                  (B) from the cutting of timber, or the 
                disposal of timber, coal, or iron ore, if 
                section 631 applies to such gain or loss, or
                  (C) from the sale, exchange, involuntary 
                conversion, or other disposition of property if 
                such property is neither--
                          (i) stock in trade or other property 
                        of a kind which would properly be 
                        includible in inventory if on hand at 
                        the close of the taxable year, nor
                          (ii) property held primarily for sale 
                        to customers in the ordinary course of 
                        the trade or business;
          (4) the deduction for net operating losses provided 
        in section 172 shall not be allowed;
          (5) if--
                  (A) any of the income derived from a trade or 
                business (other than a trade or business 
                carried on by a partnership) is community 
                income under community property laws applicable 
                to such income, the gross income and deductions 
                attributable to such trade or business shall be 
                treated as the gross income and deductions of 
                the spouse carrying on such trade or business 
                or, if such trade or business is jointly 
                operated, treated as the gross income and 
                deductions of each spouse on the basis of their 
                respective distributive share of the gross 
                income and deductions; and
                  (B) any portion of a partner's distributive 
                share of the ordinary income or loss from a 
                trade or business carried on by a partnership 
                is community income or loss under the community 
                property laws applicable to such share, all of 
                such distributive share shall be included in 
                computing the net earnings from self-employment 
                of such partner, and no part of such share 
                shall be taken into account in computing the 
                net earnings from self-employment of the spouse 
                of such partner;
          (6) a resident of Puerto Rico shall compute his net 
        earnings from self-employment in the same manner as a 
        citizen of the United States but without regard to 
        section 933;
          [(7) the deduction for personal exemptions provided 
        in section 151 shall not be allowed;]
          (8) an individual who is a duly ordained, 
        commissioned, or licensed minister of a church or a 
        member of a religious order shall compute his net 
        earnings from self-employment derived from the 
        performance of service described in subsection (c)(4) 
        without regard to section 107 (relating to rental value 
        of parsonages), section 119 (relating to meals and 
        lodging furnished for the convenience of the employer), 
        and section 911 (relating to citizens or residents of 
        the United States living abroad), but shall not include 
        in such net earnings from self-employment the rental 
        value of any parsonage or any parsonage allowance 
        (whether or not excludable under section 107) provided 
        after the individual retires, or any other retirement 
        benefit received by such individual from a church plan 
        (as defined in section 414(e)) after the individual 
        retires;
          (9) the exclusion from gross income provided by 
        section 931 shall not apply;
          (10) there shall be excluded amounts received by a 
        partner pursuant to a written plan of the partnership, 
        which meets such requirements as are prescribed by the 
        Secretary, and which provides for payments on account 
        of retirement, on a periodic basis, to partners 
        generally or to a class or classes of partners, such 
        payments to continue at least until such partner's 
        death, if--
                  (A) such partner rendered no services with 
                respect to any trade or business carried on by 
                such partnership (or its successors) during the 
                taxable year of such partnership (or its 
                successors), ending within or with his taxable 
                year, in which such amounts were received, and
                  (B) no obligation exists (as of the close of 
                the partnership's taxable year referred to in 
                subparagraph (A)) from the other partners to 
                such partner except with respect to retirement 
                payments under such plan, and
                  (C) such partner's share, if any, of the 
                capital of the partnership has been paid to him 
                in full before the close of the partnership's 
                taxable year referred to in subparagraph (A);
          (11) the exclusion from gross income provided by 
        section 911(a)(1) shall not apply;
          (12) in lieu of the deduction provided by section 
        164(f) (relating to deduction for one-half of self-
        employment taxes), there shall be allowed a deduction 
        equal to the product of--
                  (A) the taxpayer's net earnings from self-
                employment for the taxable year (determined 
                without regard to this paragraph), and
                  (B) one-half of the sum of the rates imposed 
                by subsections (a) and (b) of section 1401 for 
                such year (determined without regard to the 
                rate imposed under paragraph (2) of section 
                1401(b));
          (13) there shall be excluded the distributive share 
        of any item of income or loss of a limited partner, as 
        such, other than guaranteed payments described in 
        section 707(c) to that partner for services actually 
        rendered to or on behalf of the partnership to the 
        extent that those payments are established to be in the 
        nature of remuneration for those services;
          (14) in the case of church employee income, the 
        special rules of subsection (j)(1) shall apply;
          (15) in the case of a member of an Indian tribe, the 
        special rules of section 7873 (relating to income 
        derived by Indians from exercise of fishing rights) 
        shall apply;
          (16) the deduction provided by section 199 shall not 
        be allowed; and
          (17) notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this 
        subsection, each spouse's share of income or loss from 
        a qualified joint venture shall be taken into account 
        as provided in section 761(f) in determining net 
        earnings from self-employment of such spouse.
If the taxable year of a partner is different from that of the 
partnership, the distributive share which he is required to 
include in computing his net earnings from self-employment 
shall be based on the ordinary income or loss of the 
partnership for any taxable year of the partnership ending 
within or with his taxable year. In the case of any trade or 
business which is carried on by an individual or by a 
partnership and in which, if such trade or business were 
carried on exclusively by employees, the major portion of the 
services would constitute agricultural labor as defined in 
section 3121(g)--
          
                  
                          (i) in the case of an individual, if 
                        the gross income derived by him from 
                        such trade or business is not more than 
                        the upper limit, the net earnings from 
                        self-employment derived by him from 
                        such trade or business may, at his 
                        option, be deemed to be 66 2/3 percent 
                        of such gross income; or
                          (ii) in the case of an individual, if 
                        the gross income derived by him from 
                        such trade or business is more than the 
                        upper limit and the net earnings from 
                        self-employment derived by him from 
                        such trade or business (computed under 
                        this subsection without regard to this 
                        sentence) are less than the lower 
                        limit, the net earnings from self-
                        employment derived by him from such 
                        trade or business may, at his option, 
                        be deemed to be the lower limit; and
                          (iii) in the case of a member of a 
                        partnership, if his distributive share 
                        of the gross income of the partnership 
                        derived from such trade or business 
                        (after such gross income has been 
                        reduced by the sum of all payments to 
                        which section 707(c) applies) is not 
                        more than the upper limit, his 
                        distributive share of income described 
                        in section 702(a)(8) derived from such 
                        trade or business may, at his option, 
                        be deemed to be an amount equal to 66 
                        2/3 percent of his distributive share 
                        of such gross income (after such gross 
                        income has been so reduced); or
                          (iv) in the case of a member of a 
                        partnership, if his distributive share 
                        of the gross income of the partnership 
                        derived from such trade or business 
                        (after such gross income has been 
                        reduced by the sum of all payments to 
                        which section 707(c) applies) is more 
                        than the upper limit and his 
                        distributive share (whether or not 
                        distributed) of income described in 
                        section 702(a)(8) derived from such 
                        trade or business (computed under this 
                        subsection without regard to this 
                        sentence) is less than the lower limit, 
                        his distributive share of income 
                        described in section 702(a)(8) derived 
                        from such trade or business may, at his 
                        option, be deemed to be the lower 
                        limit.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, gross income means--
                          (v) in the case of any such trade or 
                        business in which the income is 
                        computed under a cash receipts and 
                        disbursements method, the gross 
                        receipts from such trade or business 
                        reduced by the cost or other basis of 
                        property which was purchased and sold 
                        in carrying on such trade or business, 
                        adjusted (after such reduction) in 
                        accordance with the provisions of 
                        paragraphs (1) through (7) and 
                        paragraph (9) of this subsection; and
                          (vi) in the case of any such trade or 
                        business in which the income is 
                        computed under an accrual method, the 
                        gross income from such trade or 
                        business, adjusted in accordance with 
                        the provisions of paragraphs (1) 
                        through (7) and paragraph (9) of this 
                        subsection;
and, for purposes of such sentence, if an individual (including 
a member of a partnership) derives gross income from more than 
one such trade or business, such gross income (including his 
distributive share of the gross income of any partnership 
derived from any such trade or business) shall be deemed to 
have been derived from one trade or business.
   The preceding sentence and clauses (i) through (iv) of the 
second preceding sentence shall also apply in the case of any 
trade or business (other than a trade or business specified in 
such second preceding sentence) which is carried on by an 
individual who is self-employed on a regular basis as defined 
in subsection (h), or by a partnership of which an individual 
is a member on a regular basis as defined in subsection (h), 
but only if such individual's net earnings from self-employment 
as determined without regard to this sentence in the taxable 
year are less than the lower limit and less than 66 2/3 percent 
of the sum (in such taxable year) of such individual's gross 
income derived from all trades or businesses carried on by him 
and his distributive share of the income or loss from all 
trades or businesses carried on by all the partnerships of 
which he is a member; except that this sentence shall not apply 
to more than 5 taxable years in the case of any individual, and 
in no case in which an individual elects to determine the 
amount of his net earnings from self-employment for a taxable 
year under the provisions of the two preceding sentences with 
respect to a trade or business to which the second preceding 
sentence applies and with respect to a trade or business to 
which this sentence applies shall such net earnings for such 
year exceed the lower limit.
  (b) Self-employment income.--The term ``self-employment 
income'' means the net earnings from self-employment derived by 
an individual (other than a nonresident alien individual, 
except as provided by an agreement under section 233 of the 
Social Security Act) during any taxable year; except that such 
term shall not include--
          (1) in the case of the tax imposed by section 
        1401(a), that part of the net earnings from self-
        employment which is in excess of (i) an amount equal to 
        the contribution and benefit base (as determined under 
        section 230 of the Social Security Act) which is 
        effective for the calendar year in which such taxable 
        year begins, minus (ii) the amount of the wages paid to 
        such individual during such taxable years; or
          (2) the net earnings from self-employment, if such 
        net earnings for the taxable year are less than $400.
For purposes of paragraph (1), the term ``wages'' (A) includes 
such remuneration paid to an employee for services included 
under an agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of 
section 3121(l) (relating to coverage of citizens of the United 
States who are employees of foreign affiliates of American 
employers), as would be wages under section 3121(a) if such 
services constituted employment under section 3121(b), and (B) 
includes compensation which is subject to the tax imposed by 
section 3201 or 3211. An individual who is not a citizen of the 
United States but who is a resident of the Commonwealth of 
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, or American Samoa shall 
not, for purposes of this chapter be considered to be a 
nonresident alien individual. In the case of church employee 
income, the special rules of subsection (j)(2) shall apply for 
purposes of paragraph (2).
  (c) Trade or business.--The term ``trade or business'', when 
used with reference to self-employment income or net earnings 
from self-employment, shall have the same meaning as when used 
in section 162 (relating to trade or business expenses), except 
that such term shall not include--
          (1) the performance of the functions of a public 
        office, other than the functions of a public office of 
        a State or a political subdivision thereof with respect 
        to fees received in any period in which the functions 
        are performed in a position compensated solely on a fee 
        basis and in which such functions are not covered under 
        an agreement entered into by such State and the 
        Commissioner of Social Security pursuant to section 218 
        of the Social Security Act;
          (2) the performance of service by an individual as an 
        employee, other than--
                  (A) service described in section 
                3121(b)(14)(B) performed by an individual who 
                has attained the age of 18,
                  (B) service described in section 3121(b)(16),
                  (C) service described in section 3121(b)(11), 
                (12), or (15) performed in the United States 
                (as defined in section 3121(e)(2)) by a citizen 
                of the United States, except service which 
                constitutes ``employment'' under section 
                3121(y),
                  (D) service described in paragraph (4) of 
                this subsection,
                  (E) service performed by an individual as an 
                employee of a State or a political subdivision 
                thereof in a position compensated solely on a 
                fee basis with respect to fees received in any 
                period in which such service is not covered 
                under an agreement entered into by such State 
                and the Commissioner of Social Security 
                pursuant to section 218 of the Social Security 
                Act,
                  (F) service described in section 3121(b) 
                (20), and
                  (G) service described in section 
                3121(b)(8)(B);
          (3) the performance of service by an individual as an 
        employee or employee representative as defined in 
        section 3231;
          (4) the performance of service by a duly ordained, 
        commissioned, or licensed minister of a church in the 
        exercise of his ministry or by a member of a religious 
        order in the exercise of duties required by such order;
          (5) the performance of service by an individual in 
        the exercise of his profession as a Christian Science 
        practitioner; or
          (6) the performance of service by an individual 
        during the period for which an exemption under 
        subsection (g) is effective with respect to him.
The provisions of paragraph (4) or (5) shall not apply to 
service (other than service performed by a member of a 
religious order who has taken a vow of poverty as a member of 
such order) performed by an individual unless an exemption 
under subsection (e) is effective with respect to him.
  (d) Employee and wages.--The term ``employee'' and the term 
``wages'' shall have the same meaning as when used in chapter 
21 (sec. 3101 and following, relating to Federal Insurance 
Contributions Act).
  (e) Ministers, members of religious orders, and Christian 
Science practitioners.--
          (1) Exemption.--Subject to paragraph (2), any 
        individual who is (A) a duly ordained, commissioned, or 
        licensed minister of a church or a member of a 
        religious order (other than a member of a religious 
        order who has taken a vow of poverty as a member of 
        such order) or (B) a Christian Science practitioner, 
        upon filing an application (in such form and manner, 
        and with such official, as may be prescribed by 
        regulations made under this chapter) together with a 
        statement that either he is conscientiously opposed to, 
        or because of religious principles he is opposed to, 
        the acceptance (with respect to services performed by 
        him as such minister, member, or practitioner) of any 
        public insurance which makes payments in the event of 
        death, disability, old age, or retirement or makes 
        payments toward the cost of, or provides services for, 
        medical care (including the benefits of any insurance 
        system established by the Social Security Act) and, in 
        the case of an individual described in subparagraph 
        (A), that he has informed the ordaining, commissioning, 
        or licensing body of the church or order that he is 
        opposed to such insurance, shall receive an exemption 
        from the tax imposed by this chapter with respect to 
        services performed by him as such minister, member, or 
        practitioner. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, 
        an exemption may not be granted to an individual under 
        this subsection if he had filed an effective waiver 
        certificate under this section as it was in effect 
        before its amendment in 1967.
          (2) Verification of application.--The Secretary may 
        approve an application for an exemption filed pursuant 
        to paragraph (1) only if the Secretary has verified 
        that the individual applying for the exemption is aware 
        of the grounds on which the individual may receive an 
        exemption pursuant to this subsection and that the 
        individual seeks exemption on such grounds. The 
        Secretary (or the Commissioner of Social Security under 
        an agreement with the Secretary) shall make such 
        verification by such means as prescribed in 
        regulations.
          (3) Time for filing application.--Any individual who 
        desires to file an application pursuant to paragraph 
        (1) must file such application on or before the due 
        date of the return (including any extension thereof) 
        for the second taxable year for which he has net 
        earnings from self-employment (computed without regard 
        to subsections (c)(4) and (c)(5)) of $400 or more, any 
        part of which was derived from the performance of 
        service described in subsection (c)(4) or (c)(5).
          (4) Effective date of exemption.--An exemption 
        received by an individual pursuant to this subsection 
        shall be effective for the first taxable year for which 
        he has net earnings from self-employment (computed 
        without regard to subsections (c)(4) and (c)(5)) of 
        $400 or more, any part of which was derived from the 
        performance of service described in subsection (c)(4) 
        or (c)(5), and for all succeeding taxable years. An 
        exemption received pursuant to this subsection shall be 
        irrevocable.
  (f) Partner's taxable year ending as the result of death.--In 
computing a partner's net earnings from self-employment for his 
taxable year which ends as a result of his death (but only if 
such taxable year ends within, and not with, the taxable year 
of the partnership), there shall be included so much of the 
deceased partner's distributive share of the partnership's 
ordinary income or loss for the partnership taxable year as is 
not attributable to an interest in the partnership during any 
period beginning on or after the first day of the first 
calendar month following the month in which such partner died. 
For purposes of this subsection--
          (1) in determining the portion of the distributive 
        share which is attributable to any period specified in 
        the preceding sentence, the ordinary income or loss of 
        the partnership shall be treated as having been 
        realized or sustained ratably over the partnership 
        taxable year; and
          (2) the term ``deceased partner's distributive 
        share'' includes the share of his estate or of any 
        other person succeeding, by reason of his death, to 
        rights with respect to his partnership interest.
  (g) Members of certain religious faiths.--
          (1) Exemption.--Any individual may file an 
        application (in such form and manner, and with such 
        official, as may be prescribed by regulations under 
        this chapter) for an exemption from the tax imposed by 
        this chapter if he is a member of a recognized 
        religious sect or division thereof and is an adherent 
        of established tenets or teachings of such sect or 
        division by reason of which he is conscientiously 
        opposed to acceptance of the benefits of any private or 
        public insurance which makes payments in the event of 
        death, disability, old-age, or retirement or makes 
        payments toward the cost of, or provides services for, 
        medical care (including the benefits of any insurance 
        system established by the Social Security Act). Such 
        exemption may be granted only if the application 
        contains or is accompanied by--
                  (A) such evidence of such individual's 
                membership in, and adherence to the tenets or 
                teachings of, the sect or division thereof as 
                the Secretary may require for purposes of 
                determining such individual's compliance with 
                the preceding sentence, and
                  (B) his waiver of all benefits and other 
                payments under titles II and XVIII of the 
                Social Security Act on the basis of his wages 
                and self-employment income as well as all such 
                benefits and other payments to him on the basis 
                of the wages and self-employment income of any 
                other person,
        and only if the Commissioner of Social Security finds 
        that--
                  (C) such sect or division thereof has the 
                established tenets or teachings referred to in 
                the preceding sentence,
                  (D) it is the practice, and has been for a 
                period of time which he deems to be

subsection (b)(2), if--
          (1) the decedent was the donor of any gift one-half 
        of which was considered under section 2513 as made by 
        the decedent's spouse, and
          (2) the amount of such gift is includible in the 
        gross estate of the decedent,
any tax payable by the spouse under chapter 12 on such gift (as 
determined under section 2012(d)) shall be treated as a tax 
payable with respect to a gift made by the decedent.
  (e) Coordination of sections 2513 and 2035.--If--
          (1) the decedent's spouse was the donor of any gift

          (2) the amount of such gift is includible in the 
        gross estate of the decedent's spouse by reason of

such gift shall not be included in the adjusted taxable gifts 
of the decedent for purposes of subsection (b)(1)(B), and the

reduced by the amount (if any) determined under subsection (d) 
which was treated as a tax payable by the decedent's spouse 
with respect to such gift.
  (f) Valuation of gifts.--
          (1) In general.--If the time has expired under 
        section 6501 within which a tax may be assessed under 
        chapter 12 (or under corresponding provisions of prior 
        laws) on--
                  (A) the transfer of property by gift made 
                during a preceding calendar period (as defined

                  (B) an increase in taxable gifts required 
                under section 2701(d),
        the value thereof shall, for purposes of computing the 
        tax under this chapter, be the value as finally 
        determined for purposes of chapter 12.
          (2) Final determination.--For purposes of paragraph 
        (1), a value shall be treated as finally determined for

                taxpayer; or
                  (C) the value is determined by a court or 
                pursuant to a settlement agreement with the 
                Secretary.
        For purposes of subparagraph (A), the value of an item 
        shall be treated as shown on a return if the item is 
        disclosed in the return, or in a statement attached to 
        the return, in a manner adequate to apprise the 
        Secretary of the nature of such item.

          [(1) Modifications to gift tax payable to reflect 
        different tax rates.--For purposes of applying 
        subsection (b)(2) with respect to 1 or more gifts, the 
        rates of tax under subsection (c) in effect at the 
        decedent's death shall, in lieu of the rates of tax in 
        effect at the time of such gifts, be used both to 
        compute--
                  [(A) the tax imposed by chapter 12 with 
                respect to such gifts, and
                  [(B) the credit allowed against such tax

          [(2) Modifications to estate tax payable to reflect 
        different basic exclusion amounts.--The Secretary shall 
        prescribe such regulations as may be necessary or 
        appropriate to carry out this section with respect to 
        any difference between--
                  [(A) the basic exclusion amount under section 
                2010(c)(3) applicable at the time of the 
                decedent's death, and

                section applicable with respect to any gifts 
                made by the decedent.]

Tax Rates.--For purposes of applying subsection (b)(2) with 
respect to 1 or more gifts, the rates of tax under subsection

to compute--
          (1) the tax imposed by chapter 12 with respect to 
        such gifts, and
          (2) the credit allowed against such tax under section 
        2505, including in computing--

  (a) General rule.--A credit of the applicable credit amount 
shall be allowed to the estate of every decedent against the 
tax imposed by section 2001.
  (b) Adjustment to credit for certain gifts made before 
1977.--The amount of the credit allowable under subsection (a) 
shall be reduced by an amount equal to 20 percent of the 
aggregate amount allowed as a specific exemption under section 
2521 (as in effect before its repeal by the Tax Reform Act of 
1976) with respect to gifts made by the decedent after 
September 8, 1976.
  (c) Applicable credit amount.--
          (1) In general.--For purposes of this section, the 
        applicable credit amount is the amount of the tentative 
        tax which would be determined under section 2001(c) if 
        the amount with respect to which such tentative tax is 
        to be computed were equal to the applicable exclusion 
        amount.
          (2) Applicable exclusion amount.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the applicable exclusion amount is the 
        sum of--

                deceased spousal unused exclusion amount.

                  (B) Inflation adjustment.--In the case of any 
                decedent dying in a calendar year after 2011, 
                the dollar amount in subparagraph (A) shall be 
                increased by an amount equal to--
                          (i) such dollar amount, multiplied by
                          (ii) the cost-of-living adjustment 
                        determined under section 1(f)(3) for 
                        such calendar year by substituting 
                        ``calendar year 2010'' for ``calendar 
                        year 2016'' in subparagraph (A)(ii) 
                        thereof.
                If any amount as adjusted under the preceding 
                sentence is not a multiple of $10,000, such 
                amount shall be rounded to the nearest multiple 
                of $10,000.
                  [(C) Increase in basic exclusion amount.--In 
                the case of estates of decedents dying or gifts 
                made after December 31, 2017, and before 
                January 1, 2026, subparagraph (A) shall be

        surviving spouse of a deceased spouse dying after

                          (i) the applicable exclusion amount 
                        of the last such deceased spouse of 
                        such surviving spouse, over
                          (ii) the amount with respect to which 
                        the tentative tax is determined under 
                        section 2001(b)(1) on the estate of 
                        such deceased spouse.

                  (A) Election required.--A deceased spousal 
                unused exclusion amount may not be taken into 
                account by a surviving spouse under paragraph

                deceased spouse files an estate tax return on 
                which such amount is computed and makes an 
                election on such return that such amount may be 
                so taken into account. Such election, once 
                made, shall be irrevocable. No election may be 
                made under this subparagraph if such return is 
                filed after the time prescribed by law 
                (including extensions) for filing such return.
                  (B) Examination of prior returns after

                respect to deceased spousal unused exclusion 
                amount.--Notwithstanding any period of 
                limitation in section 6501, after the time has 
                expired under section 6501 within which a tax 
                may be assessed under chapter 11 or 12 with 
                respect to a deceased spousal unused exclusion 
                amount, the Secretary may examine a return of 
                the deceased spouse to make determinations with 
                respect to such amount for purposes of carrying 
                out this subsection.
          (6) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such 
        regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry

        decedents dying in a calendar year after 1998, the

                acquired from or passed from the first decedent 
                to the surviving spouse of the first decedent, 
                for purposes of applying this subsection and 
                subsection (c) in the case of the estate of 
                such surviving spouse, active management of the 
                farm or other business by the surviving spouse 
                shall be treated as material participation by 
                such surviving spouse in the operation of such 
                farm or business.
                  (B) Special rule.--For the purposes of 
                subparagraph (A), the determination of whether 
                property is qualified real property with 
                respect to the first decedent shall be made 
                without regard to subparagraph (D) of paragraph 
                (1) and without regard to whether an election 
                under this section was made.
                  (C) Coordination with paragraph (4).--In any 
                case in which to do so will enable the 
                requirements of paragraph (1)(C)(ii) to be met 
                with respect to the surviving spouse, this 
                subsection and subsection (c) shall be applied 
                by taking into account any application of 
                paragraph (4).
  (c) Tax treatment of dispositions and failures to use for 
qualified use.--
          (1) Imposition of additional estate tax.--If, within 
        10 years after the decedent's death and before the 
        death of the qualified heir--
                  (A) the qualified heir disposes of any 
                interest in qualified real property (other than 
                by a disposition to a member of his family), or
                  (B) the qualified heir ceases to use for the 
                qualified use the qualified real property which 
                was acquired (or passed) from the decedent,
        then, there is hereby imposed an additional estate tax.
          (2) Amount of additional tax.--
                  (A) In general.--The amount of the additional 
                tax imposed by paragraph (1) with respect to 
                any interest shall be the amount equal to the 
                lesser of--
                          (i) the adjusted tax difference 
                        attributable to such interest, or
                          (ii) the excess of the amount 
                        realized with respect to the interest 
                        (or, in any case other than a sale or 
                        exchange at arm's length, the fair 
                        market value of the interest) over the 
                        value of the interest determined under 
                        subsection (a).
                  (B) Adjusted tax difference attributable to 
                interest.--For purposes of subparagraph (A), 
                the adjusted tax difference attributable to an 
                interest is the amount which bears the same 
                ratio to the adjusted tax difference with 
                respect to the estate (determined under 
                subparagraph (C)) as--
                          (i) the excess of the value of such 
                        interest for purposes of this chapter 
                        (determined without regard to 
                        subsection (a)) over the value of such 
                        interest determined under subsection 
                        (a), bears to
                          (ii) a similar excess determined for 
                        all qualified real property.
                  (C) Adjusted tax difference with respect to 
                the estate.--For purposes of subparagraph (B), 
                the term ``adjusted tax difference with respect 
                to the estate'' means the excess of what would 
                have been the estate tax liability but for 
                subsection (a) over the estate tax liability. 
                For purposes of this subparagraph, the term 
                ``estate tax liability'' means the tax imposed 
                by section 2001 reduced by the credits 
                allowable against such tax.
                  (D) Partial dispositions.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph, where the qualified heir 
                disposes of a portion of the interest acquired 
                by (or passing to) such heir (or a predecessor 
                qualified heir) or there is a cessation of use 
                of such a portion--
                          (i) the value determined under 
                        subsection (a) taken into account under 
                        subparagraph (A)(ii) with respect to 
                        such portion shall be its pro rata 
                        share of such value of such interest, 
                        and
                          (ii) the adjusted tax difference 
                        attributable to the interest taken into 
                        account with respect to the transaction 
                        involving the second or any succeeding 
                        portion shall be reduced by the amount 
                        of the tax imposed by this subsection 
                        with respect to all prior transactions 
                        involving portions of such interest.
                  (E) Special rule for disposition of timber.--
                In the case of qualified woodland to which an 
                election under subsection (e)(13)(A) applies, 
                if the qualified heir disposes of (or severs) 
                any standing timber on such qualified 
                woodland--
                          (i) such disposition (or severance) 
                        shall be treated as a disposition of a 
                        portion of the interest of the 
                        qualified heir in such property, and
                          (ii) the amount of the additional tax 
                        imposed by paragraph (1) with respect 
                        to such disposition shall be an amount 
                        equal to the lesser of--
                                  (I) the amount realized on 
                                such disposition (or, in any 
                                case other than a sale or 
                                exchange at arm's length, the 
                                fair market value of the 
                                portion of the interest 
                                disposed or severed), or
                                  (II) the amount of additional 
                                tax determined under this 
                                paragraph (without regard to 
                                this subparagraph) if the 
                                entire interest of the 
                                qualified heir in the qualified 
                                woodland had been disposed of, 
                                less the sum of the amount of 
                                the additional tax imposed with 
                                respect to all prior 
                                transactions involving such 
                                woodland to which this 
                                subparagraph applied.
                For purposes of the preceding sentence, the 
                disposition of a right to sever shall be 
                treated as the disposition of the standing 
                timber. The amount of additional tax imposed 
                under paragraph (1) in any case in which a 
                qualified heir disposes of his entire interest 
                in the qualified woodland shall be reduced by 
                any amount determined under this subparagraph 
                with respect to such woodland.
          (3) Only 1 additional tax imposed with respect to any 
        1 portion.--In the case of an interest acquired from 
        (or passing from) any decedent, if subparagraph (A) or 
        (B) of paragraph (1) applies to any portion of an 
        interest, subparagraph (B) or (A), as the case may be, 
        of paragraph (1) shall not apply with respect to the 
        same portion of such interest.
          (4) Due date.--The additional tax imposed by this 
        subsection shall become due and payable on the day 
        which is 6 months after the date of the disposition or 
        cessation referred to in paragraph (1).
          (5) Liability for tax; furnishing of bond.--The 
        qualified heir shall be personally liable for the 
        additional tax imposed by this subsection with respect 
        to his interest unless the heir has furnished bond 
        which meets the requirements of subsection (e)(11).
          (6) Cessation of qualified use.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (1)(B), real property shall cease to be used 
        for the qualified use if--
                  (A) such property ceases to be used for the 
                qualified use set forth in subparagraph (A) or 
                (B) of subsection (b)(2) under which the 
                property qualified under subsection (b), or
                  (B) during any period of 8 years ending after 
                the date of the decedent's death and before the 
                date of the death of the qualified heir, there 
                had been periods aggregating more than 3 years 
                during which--
                          (i) in the case of periods during 
                        which the property was held by the 
                        decedent, there was no material 
                        participation by the decedent or any 
                        member of his family in the operation 
                        of the farm or other business, and
                          (ii) in the case of periods during 
                        which the property was held by any 
                        qualified heir, there was no material 
                        participation by such qualified heir or 
                        any member of his family in the 
                        operation of the farm or other 
                        business.
          (7) Special rules.--
                  (A) No tax if use begins within 2 years.--If 
                the date on which the qualified heir begins to 
                use the qualified real property (hereinafter in 
                this subparagraph referred to as the 
                commencement date) is before the date 2 years 
                after the decedent's death--
                          (i) no tax shall be imposed under 
                        paragraph (1) by reason of the failure 
                        by the qualified heir to so use such 
                        property before the commencement date, 
                        and
                          (ii) the 10-year period under 
                        paragraph (1) shall be extended by the 
                        period after the decedent's death and 
                        before the commencement date.
                  (B) Active management by eligible qualified 
                heir treated as material participation.--For 
                purposes of paragraph (6)(B)(ii), the active 
                management of a farm or other business by--
                          (i) an eligible qualified heir, or
                          (ii) a fiduciary of an eligible 
                        qualified heir described in clause (ii) 
                        or (iii) of subparagraph (C),
                shall be treated as material participation by 
                such eligible qualified heir in the operation 
                of such farm or business. In the case of an 
                eligible qualified heir described in clause 
                (ii), (iii), or (iv) of subparagraph (C), the 
                preceding sentence shall apply only during 
                periods during which such heir meets the 
                requirements of such clause.
                  (C) Eligible qualified heir.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph, the term ``eligible qualified 
                heir'' means a qualified heir who--
                          (i) is the surviving spouse of the 
                        decedent,
                          (ii) has not attained the age of 21,
                          (iii) is disabled (within the meaning 
                        of subsection (b)(4)(B)), or
                          (iv) is a student.
                  (D) Student.--For purposes of subparagraph 
                (C), an individual shall be treated as a 
                student with respect to periods during any 
                calendar year if (and only if) such individual 
                is a student (within the meaning of [section 
                152(f)(2)] section 7706(f)(2)) for such 
                calendar year.
                  (E) Certain rents treated as qualified use.--
                For purposes of this subsection, a surviving 
                spouse or lineal descendant of the decedent 
                shall not be treated as failing to use 
                qualified real property in a qualified use 
                solely because such spouse or descendant rents 
                such property to a member of the family of such 
                spouse or descendant on a net cash basis. For 
                purposes of the preceding sentence, a legally 
                adopted child of an individual shall be treated 
                as the child of such individual by blood.
          (8) Qualified conservation contribution is not a 
        disposition.--A qualified conservation contribution (as 
        defined in section 170(h)) by gift or otherwise shall 
        not be deemed a disposition under subsection (c)(1)(A).
  (d) Election; agreement.--
          (1) Election.--The election under this section shall 
        be made on the return of the tax imposed by section 
        2001. Such election shall be made in such manner as the 
        Secretary shall by regulations prescribe. Such an 
        election, once made, shall be irrevocable.
          (2) Agreement.--The agreement referred to in this 
        paragraph is a written agreement signed by each person 
        in being who has an interest (whether or not in 
        possession) in any property designated in such 
        agreement consenting to the application of subsection 
        (c) with respect to such property.
          (3) Modification of election and agreement to be 
        permitted.--The Secretary shall prescribe procedures 
        which provide that in any case in which the executor 
        makes an election under paragraph (1) (and submits the 
        agreement referred to in paragraph (2)) within the time 
        prescribed therefor, but--
                  (A) the notice of election, as filed, does 
                not contain all required information, or
                  (B) signatures of 1 or more persons required 
                to enter into the agreement described in 
                paragraph (2) are not included on the agreement 
                as filed, or the agreement does not contain all 
                required information,
        the executor will have a reasonable period of time (not 
        exceeding 90 days) after notification of such failures 
        to provide such information or signatures.
  (e) Definitions; special rules.--For purposes of this 
section--
          (1) Qualified heir.--The term ``qualified heir'' 
        means, with respect to any property, a member of the 
        decedent's family who acquired such property (or to 
        whom such property passed) from the decedent. If a 
        qualified heir disposes of any interest in qualified 
        real property to any member of his family, such member 
        shall thereafter be treated as the qualified heir with 
        respect to such interest.
          (2) Member of family.--The term ``member of the 
        family'' means, with respect to any individual, only--
                  (A) an ancestor of such individual,
                  (B) the spouse of such individual,
                  (C) a lineal descendant of such individual, 
                of such individual's spouse, or of a parent of 
                such individual, or
                  (D) the spouse of any lineal descendant 
                described in subparagraph (C).
        For purposes of the preceding sentence, a legally 
        adopted child of an individual shall be treated as the 
        child of such individual by blood.
          (3) Certain real property included.--In the case of 
        real property which meets the requirements of

                than one-half of the commodity so treated; and
                  (C)

                        milling) of trees for market.
          (6) Material participation.--Material participation 
        shall be determined in a manner similar to the manner

          (7) Method of valuing farms.--
                  (A) In general.--Except as provided in 
                subparagraph (B), the value of a farm for 
                farming purposes shall be determined by 
                dividing--
                          (i) the excess of the average annual 
                        gross cash rental for comparable land 
                        used for farming purposes and located 
                        in the locality of such farm over the 
                        average annual State and local real 
                        estate taxes for such comparable land, 
                        by
                          (ii) the average annual effective 
                        interest rate for all new Federal Land 
                        Bank loans.
                For purposes of the preceding sentence, each 
                average annual computation shall be made on the 
                basis of the 5 most recent calendar years 
                ending before the date of the decedent's death.
                  (B) Value based on net share rental in 
                certain cases.--
                          (i) In general.--If there is no 
                        comparable land from which the average 
                        annual gross cash rental may be 
                        determined but there is comparable land 
                        from which the average net share rental 
                        may be determined, subparagraph (A)(i) 
                        shall be applied by substituting 
                        ``average annual net share rental'' for 
                        ``average annual gross cash rental''.
                          (ii) Net share rental.--For purposes 
                        of this paragraph, the term ``net share 
                        rental'' means the excess of--
                                  (I) the value of the produce 
                                received by the lessor of the 
                                land on which such produce is 
                                grown, over
                                  (II) the cash operating 
                                expenses of growing such 
                                produce which, under the lease, 
                                are paid by the lessor.
                  (C) Exception.--The formula provided by 
                subparagraph (A) shall not be used--
                          (i) where it is established that 
                        there is no comparable land from which 
                        the average annual gross cash rental 
                        may be determined, or
                          (ii) where the executor elects to 
                        have the value of the farm for farming 
                        purposes determined and that there is 
                        no comparable land from which the 
                        average net share rental may be 
                        determined under paragraph (8).
          (8) Method of valuing closely held business 
        interests, etc..--In any case to which paragraph (7)(A) 
        does not apply, the following factors shall apply in 
        determining the value of any qualified real property:
                  (A) The capitalization of income which the 
                property can be expected to yield for farming 
                or closely held business purposes over a 
                reasonable period of time under prudent 
                management using traditional cropping patterns 
                for the area, taking into account soil 
                capacity, terrain configuration, and similar 
                factors,
                  (B) The capitalization of the fair rental 
                value of the land for farm land or closely held 
                business purposes,
                  (C) Assessed land values in a State which 
                provides a differential or use value assessment 
                law for farmland or closely held business,
                  (D) Comparable sales of other farm or closely 
                held business land in the same geographical 
                area far enough removed from a metropolitan or 
                resort area so that nonagricultural use is not 
                a significant factor in the sales price, and
                  (E) Any other factor which fairly values the 
                farm or closely held business value of the 
                property.
          (9) Property acquired from decedent.--Property shall 
        be considered to have been acquired from or to have 
        passed from the decedent if--
                  (A) such property is so considered under 
                section 1014(b) (relating to basis of property 
                acquired from a decedent),
                  (B) such property is acquired by any person 
                from the estate, or
                  (C) such property is acquired by any person 
                from a trust (to the extent such property is 
                includible in the gross estate of the 
                decedent).
          (10) Community property.--If the decedent and his 
        surviving spouse at any time held qualified real 
        property as community property, the interest of the 
        surviving spouse in such property shall be taken into 
        account under this section to the extent necessary to 
        provide a result under this section with respect to 
        such property which is consistent with the result which 
        would have obtained under this section if such property 
        had not been community property.
          (11) Bond in lieu of personal liability.--If the 
        qualified heir makes written application to the 
        Secretary for determination of the maximum amount of 
        the additional tax which may be imposed by subsection 
        (c) with respect to the qualified heir's interest, the 
        Secretary (as soon as possible, and in any event within 
        1 year after the making of such application) shall 
        notify the heir of such maximum amount. The qualified 
        heir, on furnishing a bond in such amount and for such 
        period as may be required, shall be discharged from 
        personal liability for any additional tax imposed by 
        subsection (c) and shall be entitled to a receipt or 
        writing showing such discharge.
          (12) Active management.--The term ``active 
        management'' means the making of the management 
        decisions of a business (other than the daily operating 
        decisions).
          (13) Special rules for woodlands.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of any qualified 
                woodland with respect to which the executor 
                elects to have this subparagraph apply, trees 
                growing on such woodland shall not be treated 
                as a crop.
                  (B) Qualified woodland.--The term ``qualified 
                woodland'' means any real property which--
                          (i) is used in timber operations, and
                          (ii) is an identifiable area of land 
                        such as an acre or other area for which 
                        records are normally maintained in 
                        conducting timber operations.
                  (C) Timber operations.--The term ``timber 
                operations'' means--
                          (i) the planting, cultivating, caring

                          (ii) the preparation (other than 
                        milling) of trees for market.
                  (D) Election.--An election under subparagraph 
                (A) shall be made on the return of the tax 
                imposed by section 2001. Such election shall be 
                made in such manner as the Secretary shall by 
                regulations prescribe. Such an election, once 
                made, shall be irrevocable.
          (14) Treatment of replacement property acquired in 
        section 1031 or 1033 transactions.--
                  (A) In general.--In the case of any qualified 
                replacement property, any period during which 
                there was ownership, qualified use, or material 
                participation with respect to the replaced 
                property by the decedent or any member of his 
                family shall be treated as a period during 
                which there was such ownership, use, or 
                material participation (as the case may be) 
                with respect to the qualified replacement 
                property.
                  (B) Limitation.--Subparagraph (A) shall not 
                apply to the extent that the fair market value 
                of the qualified replacement property (as of 
                the date of its acquisition) exceeds the fair 
                market value of the replaced property (as of 
                the date of its disposition).
                  (C) Definitions.--For purposes of this 
                paragraph--
                          (i) Qualified replacement property.--
                        The term ``qualified replacement 
                        property'' means any real property 
                        which is--
                                  (I) acquired in an exchange 
                                which qualifies under section 
                                1031, or
                                  (II) the acquisition of which 
                                results in the nonrecognition 
                                of gain under section 1033.
                        Such term shall only include property 
                        which is used for the same qualified 
                        use as the replaced property was being 
                        used before the exchange.
                          (ii) Replaced property.--The term 
                        "replaced property means--
                                  (I) the property transferred 
                                in the exchange which qualifies 
                                under section 1031, or
                                  (II) the property 
                                compulsorily or involuntarily 
                                converted (within the meaning 
                                of section 1033).
  (f) Statute of limitations.--If qualified real property is 
disposed of or ceases to be used for a qualified use, then--
          (1) the statutory period for the assessment of any 
        additional tax under subsection (c) attributable to 
        such disposition or cessation shall not expire before 
        the expiration of 3 years from the date the Secretary 
        is notified (in such manner as the Secretary may by 
        regulations prescribe) of such disposition or cessation 
        (or if later in the case of an involuntary conversion 
        or exchange to which subsection (h) or (i) applies, 3 
        years from the date the Secretary is notified of the 
        replacement of the converted property or of an 
        intention not to replace or of the exchange of 
        property), and
          (2) such additional tax may be assessed before the 
        expiration of such 3-year period notwithstanding the 
        provisions of any other law or rule of law which would 
        otherwise prevent such assessment.
  (g) Application of this section and section 6324B to 
interests in partnerships, corporations, and trusts.--The 
Secretary shall prescribe regulations setting forth the 
application of this section and section 6324B in the case of an 
interest in a partnership, corporation, or trust which, with 
respect to the decedent, is an interest in a closely held 
business (within the meaning of paragraph (1) of section 
6166(b)). For purposes of the preceding sentence, an interest 
in a discretionary trust all the beneficiaries of which are 
qualified heirs shall be treated as a present interest.
  (h) Special rules for involuntary conversions of qualified 
real property.--
          (1) Treatment of converted property.--
                  (A) In general.--If there is an involuntary 
                conversion of an interest in qualified real 
                property--
                          (i) no tax shall be imposed by 
                        subsection (c) on such conversion if 
                        the cost of the qualified replacement 
                        property equals or exceeds the amount 
                        realized on such conversion, or
                          (ii) if clause (i) does not apply, 
                        the amount of the tax imposed by 
                        subsection (c) on such conversion shall 
                        be the amount determined under 
                        subparagraph (B).
                  (B) Amount of tax where there is not complete 
                reinvestment.--The amount determined under this 
                subparagraph with respect to any involuntary 
                conversion is the amount of the tax which (but 
                for this subsection) would have been imposed on 
                such conversion reduced by an amount which--
                          (i) bears the same ratio to such tax, 
                        as
                          (ii) the cost of the qualified 
                        replacement property bears to the 
                        amount realized on the conversion.
          (2) Treatment of replacement property.--For purposes 
        of subsection (c)--
                  (A) any qualified replacement property shall 
                be treated in the same manner as if it were a 
                portion of the interest in qualified real 
                property which was involuntarily converted; 
                except that with respect to such qualified 
                replacement property the 10-year period under 
                paragraph (1) of subsection (c) shall be 
                extended by any period, beyond the 2-year 
                period referred to in section 1033(a)(2)(B)(i), 
                during which the qualified heir was allowed to 
                replace the qualified real property,
                  (B) any tax imposed by subsection (c) on the 
                involuntary conversion shall be treated as a 
                tax imposed on a partial disposition, and
                  (C) paragraph (6) of subsection (c) shall be 
                applied--
                          (i) by not taking into account 
                        periods after the involuntary 
                        conversion and before the acquisition 
                        of the qualified replacement property, 
                        and
                          (ii) by treating material 
                        participation with respect to the 
                        converted property as material 
                        participation with respect to the 
                        qualified replacement property.
          (3) Definitions and special rules.--For purposes of 
        this subsection--
                  (A) Involuntary conversion.--The term 
                ``involuntary conversion'' means a compulsory 
                or involuntary conversion within the meaning of 
                section 1033.
                  (B) Qualified replacement property.--The term

                          (i) in the case of an involuntary 
                        conversion described in section 
                        1033(a)(1), any real property into 
                        which the qualified real property is 
                        converted, or
                          (ii) in the case of an involuntary 
                        conversion described in section 
                        1033(a)(2), any real property purchased 
                        by the qualified heir during the period 
                        specified in section 1033(a)(2)(B) for 
                        purposes of replacing the qualified 
                        real property.
        Such term only includes property which is to be used 
        for the qualified use set forth in subparagraph (A) or 
        (B) of subsection (b)(2) under which the qualified real 
        property qualified under subsection (a).
          (4) Certain rules made applicable.--The rules of the 
        last sentence of section 1033(a)(2)(A) shall apply for 
        purposes of paragraph (3)(B)(ii).
  (i) Exchanges of qualified real property.--

                  (A) Exchanges solely for qualified exchange 
                property.--If an interest in qualified real 
                property is exchanged solely for an interest in 
                qualified exchange property in a transaction 
                which qualifies under section 1031, no tax 
                shall be imposed by subsection (c) by reason of 
                such exchange.
                  (B) Exchanges where other property 
                received.--If an interest in qualified real 
                property is exchanged for an interest in 
                qualified exchange property and other property 
                in a transaction which qualifies under section 
                1031, the amount of the tax imposed by 
                subsection (c) by reason of such exchange shall 
                be the amount of tax which (but for this 
                subparagraph) would have been imposed on such 
                exchange under subsection (c)(1), reduced by an 
                amount which--
                          (i) bears the same ratio to such tax, 
                        as
                          (ii) the fair market value of the 
                        qualified exchange property bears to 
                        the fair market value of the qualified 
                        real property exchanged.
                For purposes of clause (ii) of the preceding 
                sentence, fair market value shall be determined 
                as of the time of the exchange.
          (2) Treatment of qualified exchange property.--For 
        purposes of subsection (c)--
                  (A) any interest in qualified exchange 
                property shall be treated in the same manner as 
                if it were a portion of the interest in 
                qualified real property which was exchanged,
                  (B) any tax imposed by subsection (c) by 
                reason of the exchange shall be treated as a 
                tax imposed on a partial disposition, and
                  (C) paragraph (6) of subsection (c) shall be 
                applied by treating material participation with 
                respect to the exchanged property as material 
                participation with respect to the qualified 
                exchange property.
          (3) Qualified exchange property.--For purposes of 
        this subsection, the term ``qualified exchange 
        property'' means real property which is to be used for 
        the qualified use set forth in subparagraph (A) or (B) 
        of subsection (b)(2) under which the real property 
        exchanged therefor originally qualified under 
        subsection (a).

SEC. 3402. INCOME TAX COLLECTED AT SOURCE.

  (a) Requirement of withholding.--
          (1) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
        section, every employer making payment of wages shall 
        deduct and withhold upon such wages a tax determined in 
        accordance with tables or computational procedures 
        prescribed by the Secretary. Any tables or procedures 
        prescribed under this paragraph shall--
                  (A) apply with respect to the amount of wages 
                paid during such periods as the Secretary may 
                prescribe, and
                  (B) be in such form, and provide for such 
                amounts to be deducted and withheld, as the 
                Secretary determines to be most appropriate to 
                carry out the purposes of this chapter and to 
                reflect the provisions of chapter 1 applicable 
                to such periods.
          (2) Amount of wages.--For purposes of applying tables 
        or procedures prescribed under paragraph (1), the term 
        ``the amount of wages'' means the amount by which the 
        wages exceed the taxpayer's withholding allowance, 
        prorated to the payroll period.
  (b) Percentage method of withholding.--
          (1) If wages are paid with respect to a period which 
        is not a payroll period, the withholding allowance 
        allowable with respect to each payment of such wages 
        shall be the allowance allowed for a miscellaneous 
        payroll period containing a number of days (including 
        Sundays and holidays) equal to the number of days in 
        the period with respect to which such wages are paid.
          (2) In any case in which wages are paid by an 
        employer without regard to any payroll period or other 
        period, the withholding allowance allowable with 
        respect to each payment of such wages shall be the 
        allowance allowed for a miscellaneous payroll period 
        containing a number of days equal to the number of days 
        (including Sundays and holidays) which have elapsed 
        since the date of the last payment of such wages by 
        such employer during the calendar year, or the date of 
        commencement of employment with such employer during 
        such year, or January 1 of such year, whichever is the 
        later.
          (3) In any case in which the period, or the time 
        described in paragraph (2), in respect of any wages is 
        less than one week, the Secretary, under regulations 
        prescribed by him, may authorize an employer to compute 
        the tax to be deducted and withheld as if the aggregate 
        of the wages paid to the employee during the calendar 
        week were paid for a weekly payroll period.
          (4) In determining the amount to be deducted and 
        withheld under this subsection, the wages may, at the 
        election of the employer, be computed to the nearest 
        dollar.
  (c) Wage bracket withholding.--
          (1) At the election of the employer with respect to 
        any employee, the employer shall deduct and withhold 
        upon the wages paid to such employee a tax (in lieu of 
        the tax required to be deducted and withheld under 
        subsection (a)) determined in accordance with tables 
        prescribed by the Secretary in accordance with 
        paragraph (6).
          (2) If wages are paid with respect to a period which 
        is not a payroll period, the amount to be deducted and 
        withheld shall be that applicable in the case of a 
        miscellaneous payroll period containing a number of 
        days (including Sundays and holidays) equal to the 
        number of days in the period with respect to which such 
        wages are paid.
          (3) In any case in which wages are paid by an 
        employer without regard to any payroll period or other 
        period, the amount to be deducted and withheld shall be 
        that applicable in the case of a miscellaneous payroll 
        period containing a number of days equal to the number 
        of days (including Sundays and holidays) which have 
        elapsed since the date of the last payment of such 
        wages by such employer during the calendar year, or the 
        date of commencement of employment with such employer 
        during such year, or January 1 of such year, whichever 
        is the later.
          (4) In any case in which the period, or the time 
        described in paragraph (3), in respect of any wages is 
        less than one week, the Secretary, under regulations 
        prescribed by him, may authorize an employer to 
        determine the amount to be deducted and withheld under 
        the tables applicable in the case of a weekly payroll 
        period, in which case the aggregate of the wages paid 
        to the employee during the calendar week shall be 
        considered the weekly wages.
          (5) If the wages exceed the highest wage bracket, in 
        determining the amount to be deducted and withheld 
        under this subsection, the wages may, at the election 
        of the employer, be computed to the nearest dollar.
          (6) In the case of wages paid after December 31, 
        1969, the amount deducted and withheld under paragraph 
        (1) shall be determined in accordance with tables 
        prescribed by the Secretary. In the tables so 
        prescribed, the amounts set forth as amounts of wages 
        and amounts of income tax to be deducted and withheld 
        shall be computed on the basis of the table for an 
        annual payroll period prescribed pursuant to subsection 
        (a).
  (d) Tax paid by recipient.--If the employer, in violation of 
the provisions of this chapter, fails to deduct and withhold 
the tax under this chapter, and thereafter the tax against 
which such tax may be credited is paid, the tax so required to 
be deducted and withheld shall not be collected from the 
employer; but this subsection shall in no case relieve the 
employer from liability for any penalties or additions to the 
tax otherwise applicable in respect of such failure to deduct 
and withhold.
  (e) Included and excluded wages.--If the remuneration paid by 
an employer to an employee for services performed during one-
half or more of any payroll period of not more than 31 
consecutive days constitutes wages, all the remuneration paid 
by such employer to such employee for such period shall be 
deemed to be wages; but if the remuneration paid by an employer 
to an employee for services performed during more than one-half 
of any such payroll period does not constitute wages, then none 
of the remuneration paid by such employer to such employee for 
such period shall be deemed to be wages.
  (f) Withholding allowance.--
          (1) In general.--Under rules determined by the 
        Secretary, an employee receiving wages shall on any day 
        be entitled to a withholding allowance determined based 
        on--
                  (A) whether the employee is an individual for 
                whom a deduction is allowable with respect to 
                another taxpayer under section 151;
                  (B) if the employee is married, whether the 
                employee's spouse is entitled to an allowance, 
                or would be so entitled if such spouse were an 
                employee receiving wages, under subparagraph 
                (A) or (D), but only if such spouse does not 
                have in effect a withholding allowance 
                certificate claiming such allowance;
                  (C) the number of individuals with respect to 
                whom, on the basis of facts existing at the 
                beginning of such day, there may reasonably be 
                expected to be allowable a credit under section 
                24(a) for the taxable year under subtitle A in 
                respect of which amounts deducted and withheld 
                under this chapter in the calendar year in 
                which such day falls are allowed as a credit;
                  (D) any additional amounts to which the 
                employee elects to take into account under 
                subsection (m), but only if the employee's 
                spouse does not have in effect a withholding 
                allowance certificate making such an election;
                  (E) the standard deduction allowable to such 
                employee (one-half of such standard deduction 
                in the case of an employee who is married (as 
                determined under section 7703) and whose spouse 
                is an employee receiving wages subject to 
                withholding); and
                  (F) whether the employee has withholding 
                allowance certificates in effect with respect 
                to more than 1 employer.
          (2) Allowance certificates.--
                  (A) On commencement of employment.--On or 
                before the date of the commencement of 
                employment with an employer, the employee shall 
                furnish the employer with a signed withholding 
                allowance certificate relating to the 
                withholding allowance claimed by the employee, 
                which shall in no event exceed the amount to 
                which the employee is entitled.
                  (B) Change of status.--If, on any day during 
                the calendar year, an employee's withholding 
                allowance is in excess of the withholding 
                allowance to which the employee would be 
                entitled had the employee submitted a true and 
                accurate withholding allowance certificate to 
                the employer on that day, the employee shall 
                within 10 days thereafter furnish the employer 
                with a new withholding allowance certificate. 
                If, on any day during the calendar year, an 
                employee's withholding allowance is greater 
                than the withholding allowance claimed, the 
                employee may furnish the employer with a new 
                withholding allowance certificate relating to 
                the withholding allowance to which the employee 
                is so entitled, which shall in no event exceed 
                the amount to which the employee is entitled on 
                such day.
                  (C) Change of status which affects next 
                calendar year.--If on any day during the 
                calendar year the withholding allowance to 
                which the employee will be, or may reasonably 
                be expected to be, entitled at the beginning of 
                the employee's next taxable year under subtitle 
                A is different from the allowance to which the 
                employee is entitled on such day, the employee 
                shall, in such cases and at such times as the 
                Secretary shall by regulations prescribe, 
                furnish the employer with a withholding 
                allowance certificate relating to the 
                withholding allowance which the employee claims 
                with respect to such next taxable year, which 
                shall in no event exceed the withholding 
                allowance to which the employee will be, or may 
                reasonably be expected to be, so entitled.
          (3) When certificate takes effect.--
                  (A) First certificate furnished.--A 
                withholding allowance certificate furnished the 
                employer in cases in which no previous such 
                certificate is in effect shall take effect as 
                of the beginning of the first payroll period 
                ending, or the first payment of wages made 
                without regard to a payroll period, on or after 
                the date on which such certificate is so 
                furnished.
                  (B) Furnished to take place of existing 
                certificate.--
                          (i) In general.--Except as provided 
                        in clauses (ii) and (iii), a 
                        withholding allowance certificate 
                        furnished to the employer in cases in 
                        which a previous such certificate is in 
                        effect shall take effect as of the 
                        beginning of the 1st payroll period 
                        ending (or the 1st payment of wages 
                        made without regard to a payroll 
                        period) on or after the 30th day after 
                        the day on which such certificate is so 
                        furnished.
                          (ii) Employer may elect earlier 
                        effective date.--At the election of the 
                        employer, a certificate described in 
                        clause (i) may be made effective 
                        beginning with any payment of wages 
                        made on or after the day on which the 
                        certificate is so furnished and before 
                        the 30th day referred to in clause (i).
                          (iii) Change of status which affects 
                        next year.--Any certificate furnished 
                        pursuant to paragraph (2)(C) shall not 
                        take effect, and may not be made 
                        effective, with respect to any payment 
                        of wages made in the calendar year in 
                        which the certificate is furnished.
          (4) Period during which certificate remains in 
        effect.--A withholding allowance certificate which 
        takes effect under this subsection, or which on 
        December 31, 1954, was in effect under the 
        corresponding subsection of prior law, shall continue 
        in effect with respect to the employer until another 
        such certificate takes effect under this subsection.
          (5) Form and contents of certificate.--Withholding 
        allowance certificates shall be in such form and 
        contain such information as the Secretary may by 
        regulations prescribe.
          (6) Exemption of certain nonresident aliens.--
        Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), a 
        nonresident alien individual (other than an individual 
        described in section 3401(a)(6)(A) or (B)) shall be 
        entitled to only one withholding exemption.
          (7) Allowance where certificate with another employer 
        is in effect.--If a withholding allowance certificate 
        is in effect with respect to one employer, an employee 
        shall not be entitled under a certificate in effect 
        with any other employer to any withholding allowance 
        which he has claimed under such first certificate.
  (g) Overlapping pay periods, and payment by agent or 
fiduciary.--If a payment of wages is made to an employee by an 
employer--
          (1) with respect to a payroll period or other period, 
        any part of which is included in a payroll period or 
        other period with respect to which wages are also paid 
        to such employee by such employer, or
          (2) without regard to any payroll period or other 
        period, but on or prior to the expiration of a payroll 
        period or other period with respect to which wages are 
        also paid to such employee by such employer, or
          (3) with respect to a period beginning in one and 
        ending in another calendar year, or
          (4) through an agent, fiduciary, or other person who 
        also has the control, receipt, custody, or disposal of, 
        or pays, the wages payable by another employer to such 
        employee,
the manner of withholding and the amount to be deducted and 
withheld under this chapter shall be determined in accordance 
with regulations prescribed by the Secretary under which the 
withholding allowance allowed to the employee in any calendar 
year shall approximate the withholding allowance allowable with 
respect to an annual payroll period.
  (h) Alternative methods of computing amount to be withheld.--
The Secretary may, under regulations prescribed by him, 
authorize--
          (1) Withholding on basis of average wages.--An 
        employer--
                  (A) to estimate the wages which will be paid 
                to any employee in any quarter of the calendar 
                year,
                  (B) to determine the amount to be deducted 
                and withheld upon each payment of wages to such 
                employee during such quarter as if the 
                appropriate average of the wages so estimated 
                constituted the actual wages paid, and
                  (C) to deduct and withhold upon any payment 
                of wages to such employee during such quarter 
                (and, in the case of tips referred to in 
                subsection (k), within 30 days thereafter) such 
                amount as may be necessary to adjust the amount 
                actually deducted and withheld upon the wages 
                of such employee during such quarter to the 
                amount required to be deducted and withheld 
                during such quarter without regard to this 
                subsection.
          (2) Withholding on basis of annualized wages.--An 
        employer to determine the amount of tax to be deducted 
        and withheld upon a payment of wages to an employee for 
        a payroll period by--
                  (A) multiplying the amount of an employee's 
                wages for a payroll period by the number of 
                such payroll periods in the calendar year,
                  (B) determining the amount of tax which would 
                be required to be deducted and withheld upon 
                the amount determined under subparagraph (A) if 
                such amount constituted the actual wages for 
                the calendar year and the payroll period of the 
                employee were an annual payroll period, and
                  (C) dividing the amount of tax determined 
                under subparagraph (B) by the number of payroll 
                periods (described in subparagraph (A)) in the 
                calendar year.
          (3) Withholding on basis of cumulative wages.--An 
        employer, in the case of any employee who requests to 
        have the amount of tax to be withheld from his wages 
        computed on the basis of his cumulative wages, to--
                  (A) add the amount of the wages to be paid to 
                the employee for the payroll period to the 
                total amount of wages paid by the employer to 
                the employee during the calendar year,
                  (B) divide the aggregate amount of wages 
                computed under subparagraph (A) by the number 
                of payroll periods to which such aggregate 
                amount of wages relates,
                  (C) compute the total amount of tax that 
                would have been required to be deducted and 
                withheld under subsection (a) if the average 
                amount of wages (as computed under subparagraph 
                (B)) had been paid to the employee for the 
                number of payroll periods to which the 
                aggregate amount of wages (computed under 
                subparagraph (A)) relates,
                  (D) determine the excess, if any, of the 
                amount of tax computed under subparagraph (C) 
                over the total amount of tax deducted and 
                withheld by the employer from wages paid to the 
                employee during the calendar year, and
                  (E) deduct and withhold upon the payment of 
                wages (referred to in subparagraph (A)) to the 
                employee an amount equal to the excess (if any) 
                computed under subparagraph (D).
          (4) Other methods.--An employer to determine the 
        amount of tax to be deducted and withheld upon the 
        wages paid to an employee by any other method which 
        will require the employer to deduct and withhold upon 
        such wages substantially the same amount as would be 
        required to be deducted and withheld by applying 
        subsection (a) or (c), either with respect to a payroll 
        period or with respect to the entire taxable year.
  (i) Changes in withholding.--
          (1) In general.--The Secretary may by regulations 
        provide for increases in the amount of withholding 
        otherwise required under this section in cases where 
        the employee requests such changes.
          (2) Treatment as tax.--Any increased withholding 
        under paragraph (1) shall for all purposes be 
        considered tax required to be deducted and withheld 
        under this chapter.
  (j) Noncash remuneration to retail commission salesman.--In 
the case of remuneration paid in any medium other than cash for 
services performed by an individual as a retail salesman for a 
person, where the service performed by such individual for such 
person is ordinarily performed for remuneration solely by way 
of cash commission an employer shall not be required to deduct 
or withhold any tax under this subchapter with respect to such 
remuneration, provided that such employer files with the 
Secretary such information with respect to such remuneration as 
the Secretary may by regulation prescribe.
  (k) Tips.--In the case of tips which constitute wages, 
subsection (a) shall be applicable only to such tips as are 
included in a written statement furnished to the employer 
pursuant to section 6053(a), and only to the extent that the 
tax can be deducted and withheld by the employer, at or after 
the time such statement is so furnished and before the close of 
the calendar year in which such statement is furnished, from 
such wages of the employee (excluding tips, but including funds 
turned over by the employee to the employer for the purpose of 
such deduction and withholding) as are under the control of the 
employer; and an employer who is furnished by an employee a 
written statement of tips (received in a calendar month) 
pursuant to section 6053(a) to which paragraph (16)(B) of 
section 3401(a) is applicable may deduct and withhold the tax 
with respect to such tips from any wages of the employee 
(excluding tips) under his control, even though at the time 
such statement is furnished the total amount of the tips 
included in statements furnished to the employer as having been 
received by the employee in such calendar month in the course 
of his employment by such employer is less than $20. Such tax 
shall not at any time be deducted and withheld in an amount 
which exceeds the aggregate of such wages and funds (including 
funds turned over under section 3102(c)(2) or section 
3202(c)(2)) minus any tax required by section 3102(a) or 
section 3202(a) to be collected from such wages and funds.
  (l) Determination and disclosure of marital status.--
          (1) Determination of status by employer.--For 
        purposes of applying the tables in subsections (a) and 
        (c) to a payment of wages, the employer shall treat the 
        employee as a single person unless there is in effect 
        with respect to such payment of wages a withholding 
        allowance certificate furnished to the employer by the 
        employee after the date of the enactment of this 
        subsection indicating that the employee is married.
          (2) Disclosure of status by employee.--An employee 
        shall be entitled to furnish the employer with a 
        withholding allowance certificate indicating he is 
        married only if, on the day of such furnishing, he is 
        married (determined with the application of the rules 
        in paragraph (3)). An employee whose marital status 
        changes from married to single shall, at such time as 
        the Secretary may by regulations prescribe, furnish the 
        employer with a new withholding allowance certificate.
          (3) Determination of marital status.--For purposes of 
        paragraph (2), an employee shall on any day be 
        considered--
                  (A) as not married, if (i) he is legally 
                separated from his spouse under a decree of 
                divorce or separate maintenance, or (ii) either 
                he or his spouse is, or on any preceding day 
                within the calendar year was, a nonresident 
                alien; or
                  (B) as married, if (i) his spouse (other than 
                a spouse referred to in subparagraph (A)) died 
                within the portion of his taxable year which 
                precedes such day, or (ii) his spouse died 
                during one of the two taxable years immediately 
                preceding the current taxable year and, on the 
                basis of facts existing at the beginning of 
                such day, the employee reasonably expects, at 
                the close of his taxable year, to be a 
                surviving spouse (as defined in section 2(a)).
  (m) Withholding allowances.--Under regulations prescribed by 
the Secretary, an employee shall be entitled to an additional 
withholding allowance or additional reductions in withholding 
under this subsection. In determining the additional 
withholding allowance or the amount of additional reductions in 
withholding under this subsection, the employee may take into 
account (to the extent and in the manner provided by such 
regulations)--
          (1) estimated itemized deductions allowable under 
        chapter 1 and the estimated deduction allowed under 
        section 199A ([other than the deductions referred to in 
        section 151 and] other than the deductions required to 
        be taken into account in determining adjusted gross 
        income under section 62(a)),
          (2) estimated tax credits allowable under chapter 1, 
        and
          (3) such additional deductions (including the 
        additional standard deduction under section 63(c)(3) 
        for the aged and blind) and other items as may be 
        specified by the Secretary in regulations.
  (n) Employees incurring no income tax liability.--
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, an 
employer shall not be required to deduct and withhold any tax 
under this chapter upon a payment of wages to an employee if 
there is in effect with respect to such payment a withholding 
allowance certificate (in such form and containing such other 
information as the Secretary may prescribe) furnished to the 
employer by the employee certifying that the employee--
          (1) incurred no liability for income tax imposed 
        under subtitle A for his preceding taxable year, and
          (2) anticipates that he will incur no liability for 
        income tax imposed under subtitle A for his current 
        taxable year.
The Secretary shall by regulations provide for the coordination 
of the provisions of this subsection with the provisions of 
subsection (f).
  (o) Extension of withholding to certain payments other than 
wages.--
          (1) General rule.--For purposes of this chapter (and 
        so much of subtitle F as relates to this chapter)--
                  (A) any supplemental unemployment 
                compensation benefit paid to an individual,
                  (B) any payment of an annuity to an 
                individual, if at the time the payment is made 
                a request that such annuity be subject to 
                withholding under this chapter is in effect, 
                and
                  (C) any payment to an individual of sick pay 
                which does not constitute wages (determined 
                without regard to this subsection), if at the 
                time the payment is made a request that such 
                sick pay be subject to withholding under this 
                chapter is in effect,
        shall be treated as if it were a payment of wages by an 
        employer to an employee for a payroll period.
          (2) Definitions.--
                  (A) Supplemental unemployment compensation 
                benefits.--For purposes of paragraph (1), the 
                term ``supplemental unemployment compensation 
                benefits'' means amounts which are paid to an 
                employee, pursuant to a plan to which the 
                employer is a party, because of an employee's 
                involuntary separation from employment (whether 
                or not such separation is temporary), resulting 
                directly from a reduction in force, the 
                discontinuance of a plant or operation, or 
                other similar conditions, but only to the 
                extent such benefits are includible in the 
                employee's gross income.
                  (B) Annuity.--For purposes of this 
                subsection, the term ``annuity'' means any 
                amount paid to an individual as a pension or 
                annuity.
                  (C) Sick pay.--For purposes of this 
                subsection, the term ``sick pay'' means any 
                amount which--
                          (i) is paid to an employee pursuant 
                        to a plan to which the employer is a 
                        party, and
                          (ii) constitutes remuneration or a 
                        payment in lieu of remuneration for any 
                        period during which the employee is 
                        temporarily absent from work on account 
                        of sickness or personal injuries.
          (3) Amount withheld from annuity payments or sick 
        pay.--If a payee makes a request that an annuity or any 
        sick pay be subject to withholding under this chapter, 
        the amount to be deducted and withheld under this 
        chapter from any payment to which such request applies 
        shall be an amount (not less than a minimum amount 
        determined under regulations prescribed by the 
        Secretary) specified by the payee in such request. The 
        amount deducted and withheld with respect to a payment 
        which is greater or less than a full payment shall bear 
        the same relation to the specified amount as such 
        payment bears to a full payment.
          (4) Request for withholding.--A request that an 
        annuity or any sick pay be subject to withholding under 
        this chapter--
                  (A) shall be made by the payee in writing to 
                the person making the payments and shall 
                contain the social security number of the 
                payee,
                  (B) shall specify the amount to be deducted 
                and withheld from each full payment, and
                  (C) shall take effect--
                          (i) in the case of sick pay, with 
                        respect to payments made more than 7 
                        days after the date on which such 
                        request is furnished to the payor, or
                          (ii) in the case of an annuity, at 
                        such time (after the date on which such 
                        request is furnished to the payor) as 
                        the Secretary shall by regulations 
                        prescribe.
        Such a request may be changed or terminated by 
        furnishing to the person making the payments a written 
        statement of change or termination which shall take 
        effect in the same manner as provided in subparagraph 
        (C). At the election of the payor, any such request (or 
        statement of change or revocation) may take effect 
        earlier than as provided in subparagraph (C).
          (5) Special rule for sick pay paid pursuant to 
        certain collective-bargaining agreements.--In the case 
        of any sick pay paid pursuant to a collective-
        bargaining agreement between employee representatives 
        and one or more employers which contains a provision 
        specifying that this paragraph is to apply to sick pay 
        paid pursuant to such agreement and contains a 
        provision for determining the amount to be deducted and 
        withheld from each payment of such sick pay--
                  (A) the requirement of paragraph (1)(C) that 
                a request for withholding be in effect shall 
                not apply, and
                  (B) except as provided in subsection (n), the 
                amounts to be deducted and withheld under this 
                chapter shall be determined in accordance with 
                such agreement.
        The preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to 
        sick pay paid pursuant to any agreement to any 
        individual unless the social security number of such 
        individual is furnished to the payor and the payor is 
        furnished with such information as is necessary to 
        determine whether the payment is pursuant to the 
        agreement and to determine the amount to be deducted 
        and withheld.
          (6) Coordination with withholding on designated 
        distributions under section 3405.--This subsection 
        shall not apply to any amount which is a designated 
        distribution (within the meaning of section 
        3405(e)(1)).
  (p) Voluntary withholding agreements.--
          (1) Certain Federal payments.--
                  (A) In general.--If, at the time a specified 
                Federal payment is made to any person, a 
                request by such person is in effect that such 
                payment be subject to withholding under this 
                chapter, then for purposes of this chapter and 
                so much of subtitle F as relates to this 
                chapter, such payment shall be treated as if it 
                were a payment of wages by an employer to an 
                employee.
                  (B) Amount withheld.--The amount to be 
                deducted and withheld under this chapter from 
                any payment to which any request under 
                subparagraph (A) applies shall be an amount 
                equal to the percentage of such payment 
                specified in such request. Such a request shall 
                apply to any payment only if the percentage 
                specified is 7 percent, any percentage 
                applicable to any of the 3 lowest income 
                brackets in the table under section 1(c), or 
                such other percentage as is permitted under 
                regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
                  (C) Specified Federal payments.--For purposes 
                of this paragraph, the term ``specified Federal 
                payment'' means--
                          (i) any payment of a social security 
                        benefit (as defined in section 86(d)),
                          (ii) any payment referred to in the 
                        second sentence of section 451(d) which 
                        is treated as insurance proceeds,
                          (iii) any amount which is includible 
                        in gross income under section 77(a), 
                        and
                          (iv) any other payment made pursuant 
                        to Federal law which is specified by 
                        the Secretary for purposes of this 
                        paragraph.
                  (D) Requests for withholding.--Rules similar 
                to the rules that apply to annuities under 
                subsection (o)(4) shall apply to requests under 
                this paragraph and paragraph (2).
          (2) Voluntary withholding on unemployment benefits.--
        If, at the time a payment of unemployment compensation 
        (as defined in section 85(b)) is made to any person, a 
        request by such person is in effect that such payment 
        be subject to withholding under this chapter, then for 
        purposes of this chapter and so much of subtitle F as 
        relates to this chapter, such payment shall be treated 
        as if it were a payment of wages by an employer to an 
        employee. The amount to be deducted and withheld under 
        this chapter from any payment to which any request 
        under this paragraph applies shall be an amount equal 
        to 10 percent of such payment.
          (3) Authority for other voluntary withholding.--The 
        Secretary is authorized by regulations to provide for 
        withholding--
                  (A) from remuneration for services performed 
                by an employee for the employee's employer 
                which (without regard to this paragraph) does 
                not constitute wages, and
                  (B) from any other type of payment with 
                respect to which the Secretary finds that 
                withholding would be appropriate under the 
                provisions of this chapter,
        if the employer and employee, or the person making and 
        the person receiving such other type of payment, agree 
        to such withholding. Such agreement shall be in such 
        form and manner as the Secretary may by regulations 
        prescribe. For purposes of this chapter (and so much of 
        subtitle F as relates to this chapter), remuneration or 
        other payments with respect to which such agreement is 
        made shall be treated as if they were wages paid by an 
        employer to an employee to the extent that such 
        remuneration is paid or other payments are made during 
        the period for which the agreement is in effect.
  (q) Extension of withholding to certain gambling winnings.--
          (1) General rule.--Every person, including the 
        Government of the United States, a State, or a

                if such wager is placed with the State agency 
                conducting such lottery, or with its authorized 
                employees or agents.

SEC. 6012. PERSONS REQUIRED TO MAKE RETURNS OF INCOME.

  (a) General rule.--Returns with respect to income taxes under 
subtitle A shall be made by the following:
          [(1)(A) Every individual having for the taxable year 
        gross income which equals or exceeds the exemption 
        amount, except that a return shall not be required of 
        an individual--
                          [(i) who is not married (determined 
                        by applying section 7703), is not a 
                        surviving spouse (as defined in section 
                        2(a)), is not a head of a household (as 
                        defined in section 2(b)), and for the 
                        taxable year has gross income of less 
                        than the sum of the exemption amount 
                        plus the basic standard deduction 
                        applicable to such an individual,
                          [(ii) who is a head of a household 
                        (as so defined) and for the taxable 
                        year has gross income of less than the 
                        sum of the exemption amount plus the 
                        basic standard deduction applicable to 
                        such an individual,
                          [(iii) who is a surviving spouse (as 
                        so defined) and for the taxable year 
                        has gross income of less than the sum 
                        of the exemption amount plus the basic 
                        standard deduction applicable to such 
                        an individual, or
                          [(iv) who is entitled to make a joint 
                        return and whose gross income, when 
                        combined with the gross income of his 
                        spouse, is, for the taxable year, less 
                        than the sum of twice the exemption 
                        amount plus the basic standard 
                        deduction applicable to a joint return, 
                        but only if such individual and his 
                        spouse, at the close of the taxable 
                        year, had the same household as their 
                        home.
        Clause (iv) shall not apply if for the taxable year 
        such spouse makes a separate return or any other 
        taxpayer is entitled to an exemption for such spouse 
        under section 151(c).
                  [(B) The amount specified in clause (i), 
                (ii), or (iii) of subparagraph (A) shall be 
                increased by the amount of 1 additional 
                standard deduction (within the meaning of 
                section 63(c)(3)) in the case of an individual 
                entitled to such deduction by reason of section 
                63(f)(1)(A) (relating to individuals age 65 or 
                more), and the amount specified in clause (iv) 
                of subparagraph (A) shall be increased by the 
                amount of the additional standard deduction for 
                each additional standard deduction to which the 
                individual or his spouse is entitled by reason 
                of section 63(f)(1).
                  [(C) The exception under subparagraph (A) 
                shall not apply to any individual--
                          [(i) who is described in section 
                        63(c)(5) and who has--
                                  [(I) income (other than 
                                earned income) in excess of the 
                                sum of the amount in effect 
                                under section 63(c)(5)(A) plus 
                                the additional standard 
                                deduction (if any) to which the 
                                individual is entitled, or
                                  [(II) total gross income in 
                                excess of the standard 
                                deduction, or
                          [(ii) for whom the standard deduction 
                        is zero under section 63(c)(6).
                  [(D) For purposes of this subsection--
                          [(i) The terms ``standard 
                        deduction'', ``basic standard 
                        deduction'' and ``additional standard 
                        deduction'' have the respective 
                        meanings given such terms by section 
                        63(c).
                          [(ii) The term ``exemption amount'' 
                        has the meaning given such term by 
                        section 151(d). In the case of an 
                        individual described in section 
                        151(d)(2), the exemption amount shall 
                        be zero.]
          (1) Every individual who has gross income for the 
        taxable year, except that a return shall not be 
        required of--
                  (A) an individual who is not married 
                (determined by applying section 7703) and who 
                has gross income for the taxable year which 
                does not exceed the standard deduction 
                applicable to such individual for such taxable 
                year under section 63, or
                  (B) an individual entitled to make a joint 
                return if--
                          (i) the gross income of such 
                        individual, when combined with the 
                        gross income of such individual's 
                        spouse, for the taxable year does not 
                        exceed the standard deduction which 
                        would be applicable for such taxable 
                        year under section 63 if such 
                        individual and such individual's spouse 
                        made a joint return,
                          (ii) such individual's spouse does 
                        not make a separate return, and
                          (iii) neither such individual nor 
                        such individual's spouse is an 
                        individual described in section 
                        63(c)(4) who has income (other than 
                        earned income) in excess of the amount 
                        in effect under section 63(c)(4)(A).
          (2) Every corporation subject to taxation under 
        subtitle A;
          (3) Every estate the gross income of which for the 
        taxable year is $600 or more;
          (4) Every trust having for the taxable year any 
        taxable income, or having gross income of $600 or over, 
        regardless of the amount of taxable income;
          (5) Every estate or trust of which any beneficiary is 
        a nonresident alien;
          (6) Every political organization (within the meaning 
        of section 527(e)(1)), and every fund treated under 
        section 527(g) as if it constituted a political

        income (within the meaning of section 527(c)(1)) for 
        the taxable year;
          (7) Every homeowners association (within the meaning 
        of section 528(c)(1)) which has homeowners association 
        taxable income (within the meaning of section 528(d)) 
        for the taxable year; and
          (8) Every estate of an individual under chapter 7 or 
        11 of title 11 of the United States Code (relating to 
        bankruptcy) the gross income of which for the taxable 
        year is not less than [the sum of the exemption amount 
        plus the basic standard deduction under section 
        63(c)(2)(C)] the standard deduction in effect under 
        section 63(c)(1)(B);
except that subject to such conditions, limitations, and 
exceptions and under such regulations as may be prescribed by 
the Secretary, nonresident alien individuals subject to the tax 
imposed by section 871 and foreign corporations subject to the 
tax imposed by section 881 may be exempted from the requirement 
of making returns under this section.
  (b) Returns made by fiduciaries and receivers.--
          (1) Returns of decedents.--If an individual is 
        deceased, the return of such individual required under 
        subsection (a) shall be made by his executor, 
        administrator, or other person charged with the 
        property of such decedent.
          (2) Persons under a disability.--If an individual is 
        unable to make a return required under subsection (a), 
        the return of such individual shall be made by a duly 
        authorized agent, his committee, guardian, fiduciary or 
        other person charged with the care of the person or 
        property of such individual. The preceding sentence 
        shall not apply in the case of a receiver appointed by 
        authority of law in possession of only a part of the 
        property of an individual.
          (3) Receivers, trustees and assignees for 
        corporations.--In a case where a receiver, trustee in a 
        case under title 11 of the United States Code, or 
        assignee, by order of a court of competent 
        jurisdiction, by operation of law or otherwise, has 
        possession of or holds title to all or substantially 
        all the property or business of a corporation, whether 
        or not such property or business is being operated, 
        such receiver, trustee, or assignee shall make the 
        return of income for such corporation in the same 
        manner and form as corporations are required to make 
        such returns.
          (4) Returns of estates and trusts.--Returns of an 
        estate, a trust, or an estate of an individual under 
        chapter 7 or 11 of title 11 of the United States Code 
        shall be made by the fiduciary thereof.
          (5) Joint fiduciaries.--Under such regulations as the 
        Secretary may prescribe, a return made by one of two or 
        more joint fiduciaries shall be sufficient compliance 
        with the requirements of this section. A return made 
        pursuant to this paragraph shall contain a statement 
        that the fiduciary has sufficient knowledge of the 
        affairs of the person for whom the return is made to 
        enable him to make the return, and that the return is, 
        to the best of his knowledge and belief, true and 
        correct.
          (6) IRA share of partnership income.--In the case of 
        a trust which is exempt from taxation under section 
        408(e), for purposes of this section, the trust's 
        distributive share of items of gross income and gain of 
        any partnership to which subchapter C or D of chapter 
        63 applies shall be treated as equal to the trust's 
        distributive share of the taxable income of such 
        partnership.
  (c) Certain income earned abroad or from sale of residence.--
For purposes of this section, gross income shall be computed 
without regard to the exclusion provided for in section 121 
(relating to gain from sale of principal residence) and without 
regard to the exclusion provided for in section 911 (relating 
to citizens or residents of the United States living abroad).
  (d) Tax-exempt interest required to be shown on return.--
Every person required to file a return under this section for 
the taxable year shall include on such return the amount of 
interest received or accrued during the taxable year which is 
exempt from the tax imposed by chapter 1.
  (e) Consolidated returns.--For provisions relating to 
consolidated returns by affiliated corporations, see chapter 6.
  [(f) Special rule for taxable years 2018 through 2025.--In 
the case of a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, 
and before January 1, 2026, subsection (a)(1) shall not apply, 
and every individual who has gross income for the taxable year 
shall be required to make returns with respect to income taxes 
under subtitle A, except that a return shall not be required 
of--
          [(1) an individual who is not married (determined by 
        applying section 7703) and who has gross income for the 
        taxable year which does not exceed the standard 
        deduction applicable to such individual for such 
        taxable year under section 63, or
          [(2) an individual entitled to make a joint return 
        if--
                  [(A) the gross income of such individual, 
                when combined with the gross income of such 
                individual's spouse, for the taxable year does 
                not exceed the standard deduction which would 
                be applicable to the taxpayer for such taxable 
                year under section 63 if such individual and 
                such individual's spouse made a joint return,
                  [(B) such individual and such individual's 
                spouse have the same household as their home at 
                the close of the taxable year,
                  [(C) such individual's spouse does not make a 
                separate return, and
                  [(D) neither such individual nor such 
                individual's spouse is an individual described 
                in section 63(c)(5) who has income (other than 
                earned income) in excess of the amount in 
                effect under section 63(c)(5)(A).]

SEC. 6013. JOINT RETURNS OF INCOME TAX BY HUSBAND AND WIFE.

  (a) Joint returns.--A husband and wife may make a single 
return jointly of income taxes under subtitle A, even though 
one of the spouses has neither gross income nor deductions, 
except as provided below:
          (1) no joint return shall be made if either the 
        husband or wife at any time during the taxable year is 
        a nonresident alien;
          (2) no joint return shall be made if the husband and 
        wife have different taxable years; except that if such 
        taxable years begin on the same day and end on 
        different days because of the death of either or both, 
        then the joint return may be made with respect to the 
        taxable year of each. The above exception shall not 
        apply if the surviving spouse remarries before the 
        close of his taxable year, nor if the taxable year of 
        either spouse is a fractional part of a year under 
        section 443(a)(1);
          (3) in the case of death of one spouse or both 
        spouses the joint return with respect to the decedent 
        may be made only by his executor or administrator; 
        except that in the case of the death of one spouse the 
        joint return may be made by the surviving spouse with 
        respect to both himself and the decedent if no return 
        for the taxable year has been made by the decedent, no 
        executor or administrator has been appointed, and no 
        executor or administrator is appointed before the last 
        day prescribed by law for filing the return of the 
        surviving spouse. If an executor or administrator of 
        the decedent is appointed after the making of the joint 
        return by the surviving spouse, the executor or 
        administrator may disaffirm such joint return by 
        making, within 1 year after the last day prescribed by 
        law for filing the return of the surviving spouse, a 
        separate return for the taxable year of the decedent 
        with respect to which the joint return was made, in 
        which case the return made by the survivor shall 
        constitute his separate return.
  (b) Joint return after filing separate return.--
          (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
        if an individual has filed a separate return for a 
        taxable year for which a joint return could have been 
        made by him and his spouse under subsection (a) and the 
        time prescribed by law for filing the return for such 
        taxable year has expired, such individual and his 
        spouse may nevertheless make a joint return for such 
        taxable year. A joint return filed by the husband and 
        wife under this subsection shall constitute the return 
        of the husband and wife for such taxable year, and all 
        payments, credits, refunds, or other repayments made or 
        allowed with respect to the separate return of either 
        spouse for such taxable year shall be taken into 
        account in determining the extent to which the tax 
        based upon the joint return has been paid. If a joint 
        return is made under this subsection, any election 
        (other than the election to file a separate return) 
        made by either spouse in his separate return for such 
        taxable year with respect to the treatment of any 
        income, deduction, or credit of such spouse shall not 
        be changed in the making of the joint return where such 
        election would have been irrevocable if the joint 
        return had not been made. If a joint return is made 
        under this subsection after the death of either spouse, 
        such return with respect to the decedent can be made 
        only by his executor or administrator.
          (2) Limitations for making of election.--The election 
        provided for in paragraph (1) may not be made--
                  (A) after the expiration of 3 years from the 
                last date prescribed by law for filing the 
                return for such taxable year (determined 
                without regard to any extension of time granted 
                to either spouse); or
                  (B) after there has been mailed to either 
                spouse, with respect to such taxable year, a 
                notice of deficiency under section 6212, if the 
                spouse, as to such notice, files a petition 
                with the Tax Court within the time prescribed 
                in section 6213; or
                  (C) after either spouse has commenced a suit 
                in any court for the recovery of any part of 
                the tax for such taxable year; or
                  (D) after either spouse has entered into a 
                closing agreement under section 7121 with 
                respect to such taxable year, or after any 
                civil or criminal case arising against either 
                spouse with respect to such taxable year has 
                been compromised under section 7122.
          (3) When return deemed filed.--
                  (A) Assessment and collection.--For purposes 
                of section 6501 (relating to periods of 
                limitations on assessment and collection), and 
                for purposes of section 6651 (relating to 
                delinquent returns), a joint return made under 
                this subsection shall be deemed to have been 
                filed--
                          (i) Where both spouses filed separate 
                        returns prior to making the joint 
                        return - on the date the last separate 
                        return was filed (but not earlier than 
                        the last date prescribed by law for 
                        filing the return of either spouse);
                          (ii) Where only one spouse filed a 
                        separate return prior to the making of 
                        the joint return, and the other spouse 
                        [had less than the exemption amount of 
                        gross income] had no gross income for 
                        such taxable year - on the date of the 
                        filing of such separate return (but not 
                        earlier than the last date prescribed 
                        by law for the filing of such separate 
                        return); or
                          (iii) Where only one spouse filed a 
                        separate return prior to the making of 
                        the joint return, and the other spouse 
                        [had gross income of the exemption 
                        amount or more] had any gross income 
                        for such taxable year - on the date of 
                        the filing of such joint return.
                [For purposes of this subparagraph, the term 
                ``exemption amount'' has the meaning given to 
                such term by section 151(d). For purposes of 
                clauses (ii) and (iii), if the spouse whose 
                gross income is being compared to the exemption 
                amount is 65 or over, such clauses shall be 
                applied by substituting ``the sum of the 
                exemption amount and the additional standard 
                deduction under section 63(c)(2) by reason of 
                section 63(f)(1)(A)'' for ``the exemption 
                amount''.]
                  (B) Credit or refund.--For purposes of 
                section 6511, a joint return made under this 
                subsection shall be deemed to have been filed 
                on the last date prescribed by law for filing 
                the return for such taxable year (determined 
                without regard to any extension of time granted 
                to either spouse).
          (4) Additional time for assessment.--If a joint 
        return is made under this subsection, the periods of 
        limitations provided in sections 6501 and 6502 on the 
        making of assessments and the beginning of levy or a 
        proceeding in court for collection shall with respect 
        to such return include one year immediately after the 
        date of the filing of such joint return (computed 
        without regard to the provisions of paragraph (3)).
          (5) Additions to the tax and penalties.--
                  (A) Coordination with part II of subchapter A 
                of chapter 68.--For purposes of part II of 
                subchapter A of chapter 68, where the sum of 
                the amounts shown as tax on the separate 
                returns of each spouse is less than the amount 
                shown as tax on the joint return made under 
                this subsection--
                          (i) such sum shall be treated as the 
                        amount shown on the joint return,
                          (ii) any negligence (or disregard of 
                        rules or regulations) on either 
                        separate return shall be treated as 
                        negligence (or such disregard) on the 
                        joint return, and
                          (iii) any fraud on either separate 
                        return shall be treated as fraud on the 
                        joint return.
                  (B) Criminal penalty.--For purposes of 
                section 7206(1) and (2) and section 7207 
                (relating to criminal penalties in the case of 
                fraudulent returns) the term ``return'' 
                includes a separate return filed by a spouse 
                with respect to a taxable year for which a 
                joint return is made under this subsection 
                after the filing of such separate return.
  (c) Treatment of joint return after death of either spouse.--
For purposes of [sections 15, 443, and 7851(a)(1)(A)] section 
443, where the husband and wife have different taxable years 
because of the death of either spouse, the joint return shall 
be treated as if the taxable years of both spouses ended on the 
date of the closing of the surviving spouse's taxable year.
  (d) Special rules.--For purposes of this section--
          (1) the status as husband and wife of two individuals 
        having taxable years beginning on the same day shall be 
        determined--
                  (A) if both have the same taxable year - as 
                of the close of such year; or
                  (B) if one dies before the close of the 
                taxable year of the other - as of the time of 
                such death;
          (2) an individual who is legally separated from his 
        spouse under a decree of divorce or of separate 
        maintenance shall not be considered as married; and
          (3) if a joint return is made, the tax shall be 
        computed on the aggregate income and the liability with 
        respect to the tax shall be joint and several.
  (f) Joint return where individual is in missing status.--For 
purposes of this section and subtitle A--

                (within the meaning of paragraph (3)) as a 
                result of service in a combat zone (as 
                determined for purposes of section 112), and
                  (B) the spouse of such individual is 
                otherwise entitled to file a joint return for 
                any taxable year which begins on or before the 
                day which is 2 years after the date designated 
                under section 112 as the date of termination of 
                combatant activities in such zone,
        then such spouse may elect under subsection (a) to file 
        a joint return for such taxable year. With respect to 
        service in the combat zone designated for purposes of 
        the Vietnam conflict, such election may be made for any

                individual died before the beginning of such 
                year, and
                  (B) except for purposes of section 692

                Armed Forces, astronauts, and victims of 
                certain terrorist attacks on death), the income 
                tax liability of such individual, his spouse, 
                and his estate shall be determined as if he 
                were alive throughout the taxable year.

                and allowances under section 5562 of such title 
                5.

        an election may be revoked by either spouse on or

        administrative proceeding pertaining to tax 
        administration, but only--

        However, such return or return information shall not be 
        disclosed as provided in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C)

                        matter relating to the commission of 
                        such act, and

                        be disclosed cannot reasonably be 
                        obtained, under the circumstances, from 
                        another source.

                        return or taxpayer return information

                General or his delegate or the head of the 
                Federal agency that such admission would 
                identify a confidential informant or seriously 
                impair a civil or criminal tax investigation.

                information as set forth in this title.
                  (E) Reversible error.--The admission into 
                evidence of any return or return information 
                contrary to the provisions of this paragraph

                district court judge or magistrate judge under 
                subparagraph (B), be open (but only to the

                judge or magistrate judge may grant such order 
                if he determines on the basis of the facts 
                submitted by the applicant that--
                          (i) a Federal arrest warrant relating 
                        to the commission of a Federal felony 
                        offense has been issued for an 
                        individual who is a fugitive from 
                        justice,
                          (ii) the return of such individual or 
                        return information with respect to such 
                        individual is sought exclusively for 
                        use in locating such individual, and
                          (iii) there is reasonable cause to 
                        believe that such return or return 
                        information may be relevant in 
                        determining the location of such 
                        individual.
          (6) Confidential informants; impairment of

        return or return information under paragraph (1), (2), 
        (3)(A) or (C), (5), (7), or (8) if the Secretary

        disclosure pursuant to a court order described in 
        paragraph (1)(B) or (5)(B), certifies to the court) 
        that such disclosure would identify a confidential 
        informant or seriously impair a civil or criminal tax 
        investigation.
          (7) Disclosure upon request of information relating 
        to terrorist activities, etc..--

                        in paragraph (6), upon receipt by the 
                        Secretary of a written request which 
                        meets the requirements of clause (iii), 
                        the Secretary may disclose return

                        any Federal law enforcement agency may

                        under clause (i) to officers and

                          (iii) in the case of the Department 
                        of Health and Human Services for

                        all such return information upon 
                        completion of its use in providing the 
                        notification for which the information 
                        was obtained, so as to make such 
                        information undisclosable;
        except that the conditions of subparagraphs (A), (B), 
        (C), (D), and (E) shall cease to apply with respect to 
        any return or return information if, and to the extent 
        that, such return or return information is disclosed in 
        the course of any judicial or administrative proceeding 
        and made a part of the public record thereof. If the 
        Secretary determines that any such agency, body, or 
        commission, including an agency, an appropriate State 
        officer (as defined in section 6104(c)), or any other 
        person described in subsection (k)(10) or subsection 
        (l)(10), (16), (18), (19), or (20) or any entity 
        described in subsection (l)(21), or the Government 
        Accountability Office or the Congressional Budget 
        Office, has failed to, or does not, meet the 
        requirements of this paragraph, he may, after any 
        proceedings for review established under paragraph (7), 
        take such actions as are necessary to ensure such 
        requirements are met, including refusing to disclose 
        returns or return information to such agency, body, or 
        commission, including an agency, an appropriate State 
        officer (as defined in section 6104(c)), or any other 
        person described in subsection (k)(10) or subsection 
        (l)(10), (16), (18), (19), or (20) or any entity 
        described in subsection (l)(21), or the Government 
        Accountability Office or the Congressional Budget 
        Office, until he determines that such requirements have 
        been or will be met. In the case of any agency which 
        receives any mailing address under paragraph (2), (4), 
        (6), or (7) of subsection (m) and which discloses any 
        such mailing address to any agent or which receives any 
        information under paragraph (6)(A), (10), (12)(B), or 
        (16) of subsection (l) and which discloses any such 
        information to any agent, or any person including an 
        agent described in subsection (l)(10) or (16), this 
        paragraph shall apply to such agency and each such 
        agent or other person (except that, in the case of an 
        agent, or any person including an agent described in 
        subsection (l)(10) or (16), any report to the Secretary 
        or other action with respect to the Secretary shall be 
        made or taken through such agency). For purposes of 
        applying this paragraph in any case to which subsection 
        (m)(6) applies, the term ``return information'' 
        includes related blood donor records (as defined in 
        section 1141(h)(2) of the Social Security Act).
          (5) Report on procedures and safeguards.--After the 
        close of each calendar year, the Secretary shall

        safeguards established and utilized by such agencies, 
        bodies, or commissions, the Government Accountability 
        Office, and the Congressional Budget Office for 
        ensuring the confidentiality of returns and return

                Budget Office pursuant to this subsection to 
                determine whether such safeguards and 
                procedures meet the requirements of this

                returns and return information. The Comptroller 
                General shall notify the Secretary before any 
                such audit is conducted.

                        summary of, such records or accountings 
                        in such form and containing such 
                        information as the Secretary may 
                        prescribe, and
                          (ii) furnish an annual report to each 
                        committee described in subsection (f) 
                        and to the Secretary setting forth his 
                        findings with respect to any audit

                clause (i).
          (7) Administrative review.--The Secretary shall by

                information reflected on such Federal return, 
                unless such State adopts provisions of law 
                which protect the confidentiality of the copy 
                of the Federal return (or portion thereof) 
                attached to, or the Federal return information 
                reflected on, such State tax return.

                return or any information on a Federal return

SEC. 6213. RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO DEFICIENCIES; PETITION TO TAX 
                    COURT.

  (a) Time for filing petition and restriction on assessment.--
Within 90 days, or 150 days if the notice is addressed to a 
person outside the United States, after the notice of 
deficiency authorized in section 6212 is mailed (not counting 
Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday in the District of 
Columbia as the last day), the taxpayer may file a petition 
with the Tax Court for a redetermination of the deficiency. 
Except as otherwise provided in section 6851, 6852, or 6861 no 
assessment of a deficiency in respect of any tax imposed by 
subtitle A, or B, chapter 41, 42, 43, or 44 and no levy or 
proceeding in court for its collection shall be made, begun, or 
prosecuted until such notice has been mailed to the taxpayer, 
nor until the expiration of such 90-day or 150-day period, as 
the case may be, nor, if a petition has been filed with the Tax 
Court, until the decision of the Tax Court has become final. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 7421(a), the making 
of such assessment or the beginning of such proceeding or levy 
during the time such prohibition is in force may be enjoined by 
a proceeding in the proper court, including the Tax Court, and 
a refund may be ordered by such court of any amount collected 
within the period during which the Secretary is prohibited from 
collecting by levy or through a proceeding in court under the 
provisions of this subsection. The Tax Court shall have no 
jurisdiction to enjoin any action or proceeding or order any 
refund under this subsection unless a timely petition for a 
redetermination of the deficiency has been filed and then only 
in respect of the deficiency that is the subject of such 
petition. Any petition filed with the Tax Court on or before 
the last date specified for filing such petition by the 
Secretary in the notice of deficiency shall be treated as 
timely filed.
  (b) Exceptions to restrictions on assessment.--
          (1) Assessments arising out of mathematical or 
        clerical errors.--If the taxpayer is notified that, on 
        account of a mathematical or clerical error appearing 
        on the return, an amount of tax in excess of that shown 
        on the return is due, and that an assessment of the tax 
        has been or will be made on the basis of what would 
        have been the correct amount of tax but for the 
        mathematical or clerical error, such notice shall not 
        be considered as a notice of deficiency for the 
        purposes of subsection (a) (prohibiting assessment and 
        collection until notice of the deficiency has been 
        mailed), or of section 6212(c)(1) (restricting further 
        deficiency letters), or of section 6512(a) (prohibiting 
        credits or refunds after petition to the Tax Court), 
        and the taxpayer shall have no right to file a petition 
        with the Tax Court based on such notice, nor shall such 
        assessment or collection be prohibited by the 
        provisions of subsection (a) of this section. Each 
        notice under this paragraph shall set forth the error 
        alleged and an explanation thereof.
          (2) Abatement of assessment of mathematical or 
        clerical errors.--
                  (A) Request for abatement.--Notwithstanding 
                section 6404(b), a taxpayer may file with the 
                Secretary within 60 days after notice is sent 
                under paragraph (1) a request for an abatement 
                of any assessment specified in such notice, and 
                upon receipt of such request, the Secretary 
                shall abate the assessment. Any reassessment of 
                the tax with respect to which an abatement is 
                made under this subparagraph shall be subject 
                to the deficiency procedures prescribed by this 
                subchapter.
                  (B) Stay of collection.--In the case of any 
                assessment referred to in paragraph (1), 
                notwithstanding paragraph (1), no levy or 
                proceeding in court for the collection of such 
                assessment shall be made, begun, or prosecuted 
                during the period in which such assessment may 
                be abated under this paragraph.
          (3) Assessments arising out of tentative carryback or 
        refund adjustments.--If the Secretary determines that 
        the amount applied, credited, or refunded under section 
        6411 is in excess of the overassessment attributable to 
        the carryback or the amount described in section 
        1341(b)(1) with respect to which such amount was 
        applied, credited, or refunded, he may assess without 
        regard to the provisions of paragraph (2) the amount of 
        the excess as a deficiency as if it were due to a 
        mathematical or clerical error appearing on the return.
          (4) Assessment of amount paid.--Any amount paid as a 
        tax or in respect of a tax may be assessed upon the 
        receipt of such payment notwithstanding the provisions 
        of subsection (a). In any case where such amount is 
        paid after the mailing of a notice of deficiency under 
        section 6212, such payment shall not deprive the Tax 
        Court of jurisdiction over such deficiency determined 
        under section 6211 without regard to such assessment.
          (5) Certain orders of criminal restitution.--If the 
        taxpayer is notified that an assessment has been or 
        will be made pursuant to section 6201(a)(4)--
                  (A) such notice shall not be considered as a 
                notice of deficiency for the purposes of 
                subsection (a) (prohibiting assessment and 
                collection until notice of the deficiency has 
                been mailed), section 6212(c)(1) (restricting 
                further deficiency letters), or section 6512(a) 
                (prohibiting credits or refunds after petition 
                to the Tax Court), and
                  (B) subsection (a) shall not apply with 
                respect to the amount of such assessment.
  (c) Failure to file petition.--If the taxpayer does not file 
a petition with the Tax Court within the time prescribed in 
subsection (a), the deficiency, notice of which has been mailed 
to the taxpayer, shall be assessed, and shall be paid upon 
notice and demand from the Secretary.
  (d) Waiver of restrictions.--The taxpayer shall at any time 
(whether or not a notice of deficiency has been issued) have 
the right, by a signed notice in writing filed with the 
Secretary, to waive the restrictions provided in subsection (a) 
on the assessment and collection of the whole or any part of 
the deficiency.
  (e) Suspension of filing period for certain excise taxes.--
The running of the time prescribed by subsection (a) for filing 
a petition in the Tax Court with respect to the taxes imposed 
by section 4941 (relating to taxes on self-dealing), 4942 
(relating to taxes on failure to distribute income), 4943 
(relating to taxes on excess business holdings), 4944 (relating 
to investments which jeopardize charitable purpose), 4945 
(relating to taxes on taxable expenditures), 4951 (relating to 
taxes on self-dealing), or 4952 (relating to taxes on taxable 
expenditures), 4955 (relating to taxes on political 
expenditures), 4958 (relating to private excess benefit), 4971 
(relating to excise taxes on failure to meet minimum funding 
standard), 4975 (relating to excise taxes on prohibited 
transactions) shall be suspended for any period during which 
the Secretary has extended the time allowed for making 
correction under section 4963(e).
  (f) Coordination with title 11.--
          (1) Suspension of running of period for filing 
        petition in title 11 cases.--In any case under title 11 
        of the United States Code, the running of the time 
        prescribed by subsection (a) for filing a petition in 
        the Tax Court with respect to any deficiency shall be 
        suspended for the period during which the debtor is 
        prohibited by reason of such case from filing a 
        petition in the Tax Court with respect to such 
        deficiency, and for 60 days thereafter.
          (2) Certain action not taken into account.--For 
        purposes of the second and third sentences of 
        subsection (a), the filing of a proof of claim or 
        request for payment (or the taking of any other action) 
        in a case under title 11 of the United States Code 
        shall not be treated as action prohibited by such 
        second sentence.

        statement, schedule, or list, and any amendment or

        nearly as possible will result in the same total 
        exemption from levy for such individual over a period

  (e) Exceptions.--
          (1) Where tax is small amount.--No addition to tax 
        shall be imposed under subsection (a) for any taxable 
        year if the tax shown on the return for such taxable

        the credit allowable under section 31, is less than 
        $1,000.
          (2) Where no tax liability for preceding taxable 
        year.--No addition to tax shall be imposed under

                imposed under subsection (a) with respect to 
                any underpayment to the extent the Secretary

                disaster, or other unusual circumstances the 
                imposition of such addition to tax would be 
                against equity and good conscience.
                  (B) Newly retired or disabled individuals.--
                No addition to tax shall be imposed under 
                subsection (a) with respect to any underpayment

                        the taxable year preceding such taxable 
                        year, and
                          (ii) such underpayment was due to

                        neglect.

        increase in such tax by reason of section 143(m)), plus
          (2) the tax imposed by chapter 2, plus

          (1) In general.--For purposes of applying this 
        section, the amount of the credit allowed under section 
        31 for the taxable year shall be deemed a payment of 
        estimated tax, and an equal part of such amount shall 
        be deemed paid on each due date for such taxable year, 
        unless the taxpayer establishes the dates on which all 
        amounts were actually withheld, in which case the 
        amounts so withheld shall be deemed payments of 
        estimated tax on the dates on which such amounts were 
        actually withheld.
          (2) Separate application.--The taxpayer may apply 
        paragraph (1) separately with respect to--
                  (A) wage withholding, and

                equal to the required annual payment determined 
                under subsection (d)(1)(B) by substituting ``66 
                2/3 percent'' for ``90 percent'' and without

                          (i) the availability of medical care 
                        at such workshop is the principal

                                additional facilities outside 
                                such unit for the providing of 
                                meals and other personal care,

                section, the term ``qualified continuing care 
                facility'' means 1 or more facilities--
                          (i) which are designed to provide 
                        services under continuing care 
                        contracts, and
                          (ii) substantially all of the 
                        residents of which are covered by 
                        continuing care contracts.
                  (B) Substantially all facilities must be 
                owned or operated by borrower.--A facility 
                shall not be treated as a qualified continuing 
                care facility unless substantially all 
                facilities which are used to provide services 
                which are required to be provided under a 
                continuing care contract are owned or operated

                home.
          (5) Adjustment of limit for inflation.--In the case 
        of any loan made during any calendar year after 1986, 
        the dollar amount in paragraph (2) shall be increased 
        by an amount equal to--
                  (A) such amount, multiplied by
                  (B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined 
                under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in 
                which the taxable year begins, by substituting 
                ``calendar year 1985'' for ``calendar year 
                2016'' in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof.
        Any increase under the preceding sentence shall be 
        rounded to the nearest multiple of $100 (or, if such 
        increase is a multiple of $50, such increase shall be 
        increased to the nearest multiple of $100).
          (6) Suspension of application.--Paragraph (1) shall 
        not apply for any calendar year to which subsection (h)

          (1) In general.--This section shall not apply for any 
        calendar year to any below-market loan owed by a 
        facility which on the last day of such year is a 
        qualified continuing care facility, if such loan was 
        made pursuant to a continuing care contract and if the 
        lender (or the lender's spouse) attains age 62 before 
        the close of such year.
          (2) Continuing care contract.--For purposes of this 
        section, the term ``continuing care contract'' means a 
        written contract between an individual and a qualified 
        continuing care facility under which--
                  (A) the individual or individual's spouse may 
                use a qualified continuing care facility for 
                their life or lives,
                  (B) the individual or individual's spouse 
                will be provided with housing, as appropriate 
                for the health of such individual or 
                individual's spouse--
                          (i) in an independent living unit 
                        (which has additional available 
                        facilities outside such unit for the 
                        provision of meals and other personal 
                        care), and
                          (ii) in an assisted living facility 
                        or a nursing facility, as is available 
                        in the continuing care facility, and
                  (C) the individual or individual's spouse 
                will be provided assisted living or nursing 
                care as the health of such individual or 
                individual's spouse requires, and as is 
                available in the continuing care facility.
        The Secretary shall issue guidance which limits such 
        term to contracts which provide only facilities, care, 
        and services described in this paragraph.
          (3) Qualified continuing care facility.--
                  (A) In general.--For purposes of this 
                section, the term ``qualified continuing care 
                facility'' means 1 or more facilities--
                          (i) which are designed to provide

                ``qualified continuing care facility'' shall 
                not include any facility which is of a type

                adjustments to the provisions of this section 
                will be made to the extent necessary to carry 
                out the purposes of this section,
                  (B) regulations for the purpose of assuring 
                that the positions of the borrower and lender

                nonapplication) of this section, and
                  (C) regulations exempting from the

                         VII. DISSENTING VIEWS

    It has been eight months since the Republicans enacted 
their massive, unpaid-for tax cut law (Public Law 115-97) 
without a single Democratic vote or a single hearing. At the 
time, Democrats and independent experts warned that a so-called 
tax reform plan that was not paid for and that was so heavily 
skewed to the wealthy and big corporations would harm our 
economy and damage important programs like Medicare and Social 
Security. Eight months later, we are beginning to see what many 
of us feared is coming true. Health insurance companies in 
state after state are announcing higher premiums for next year, 
while health coverage for those living with pre-existing 
conditions is on the chopping block. To make matters worse, the 
Medicare Trustees cut three years off the life of the Medicare 
Trust Fund because of the Republican tax bill.
    Despite all of this, Republicans are doubling down and 
moving forward with another round of tax cuts for the well-off 
and well-connected with this Tax Scam 2.0, the ``Protecting 
Family and Small Business Tax Cuts Act of 2018'' (H.R. 6760).
    After Republicans showered corporations with trillions of 
dollars in tax cuts and promised that it would lead to more 
jobs and higher wages, we are seeing that corporations across 
the country are instead pocketing their money, laying off 
workers, and shipping operations to other countries. In one 
particularly egregious case, an executive at a well-known 
company stated that the savings the company received from the 
Republican tax law allowed them to restructure and lay off 
hundreds of workers.
    H.R. 6760 extended the section 199A pass-through deduction, 
which Republicans claimed would benefit small business and spur 
economic growth. Instead, section 199A is a massive giveaway to 
millionaires. In fact, 58 percent of the benefit of the 
Republicans' so-called small business tax benefit goes to 
millionaires.
    At the same time, the Republicans have doubled down on 
their attack on the middle class by attempting to make 
permanent the limits to the State and Local Tax deduction, the 
mortgage interest deduction, and casualty loss deductions. And 
by eliminating personal exemptions alone, 290 million 
individuals will no longer be able to claim $1.14 trillion in 
tax savings. Tax Scam 2.0 targets these and many other tax 
incentives that help middle class families get ahead, while 
lavishing benefits on the wealthy and well-connected 
corporations.
    The Republicans call themselves fiscal conservatives but 
nothing could be further from the truth. History doesn't lie 
and now we're seeing it again with the addition of more than $3 
trillion to the nation's debt.
    Tax Scam 2.0, like Tax Scam 1.0 before it, was jammed 
through the Committee with no hearings and no input from 
stakeholders. The rushed and lopsided process late last year 
resulted in the disastrous tax law. Unsurprisingly, the 
Democratic staff has identified over 100 mistakes and other 
problems with the Republicans' tax law. Instead of seeking 
expert opinions, high-quality data, and a reasoned review of 
the performance to date of last year's law, Republicans 
repeated the careless, partisan process of last year and again 
aimed at partisan priorities instead of evidence-based reforms. 
Furthermore, there was no reason for them to abandon regular 
order, given that these bills are guaranteed to be dead-on-
arrival in the Senate.
    Democrats on the Committee gave Republicans the opportunity 
to demonstrate their priorities, offering seven fiscally-
responsible amendments that truly help middle-class families 
and protect seniors from tax hikes and cuts to Social Security 
and Medicare without adding to the deficit. In a manner 
consistent with their habit of putting the wealthy and 
corporations ahead of working Americans, Republicans rejected 
every amendment.
    Republicans rejected an amendment I offered to curb one of 
the worst excesses of last year's tax scam, which is made 
permanent in H.R. 6760. My amendment would have restored the 
top marginal income tax rate to pre-Public Law 115-97 levels 
and used the proceeds to support three key priorities that 
actually help hardworking Americans: expanding the Earned 
Income Tax Credit (EITC) to offer support to low-income workers 
without children, making the Adoption Tax Credit refundable, 
and enhancing the child and dependent care credit. Instead of 
offering support to ordinary families, H.R. 6760 makes 
permanent a reduction to the pre-Public Law 115-97 top marginal 
income tax rate, which was already cut in half compared to the 
Reagan era. A top marginal rate of 39.6 has previously won the 
support not only of Presidents Obama and Clinton, but also John 
Boehner and Mitch McConnell. That top rate is not too high--a 
broad bipartisan group of lawmakers and presidents were all 
willing to support it. There is no compelling reason why it 
should be lowered. My amendment offered Republicans an 
opportunity to change H.R. 6760 to provide meaningful support 
to low-wage workers, adoptive parents, and those with 
dependents in need of care, just by asking some of the most 
affluent people in our society to give up a small part of their 
tax cut--an opportunity Republicans resoundingly rejected.
    Republicans also rejected an amendment offered by Rep. 
Pascrell that would have removed the cap on the deduction for 
state and local taxes (``SALT''), a provision that prevents 
individual taxpayers from owing federal taxes on the income 
they pay in taxes to state and local governments. Ironically, 
Tax Scam 1.0 allowed corporations to continue deducting state 
and local taxes, while eliminating much of the benefit for 
individuals and families. State and local tax payments are not 
disposable income, and it is unfair to treat them as such. 
Currently, more than 100 million Americans in 45 million 
households claim the SALT deduction. Almost 40 percent of 
taxpayers earning between $50,000 and $75,000 claim SALT, and 
over 70 percent of taxpayers making $100,000 to $200,000 use 
it. Over one-half the value of the deduction went to households 
with incomes below $200,000. In 2016, the most recent year for 
which data are available, the average SALT deduction nationwide 
was already above $12,500, and inflation will cause a growing 
number of households to experience double taxation. In fact, in 
2016, the average SALT deduction was over $10,000 in 23 states 
and the District of Columbia: Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, 
Hawaii, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, 
Maine, Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Rhode Island, Vermont, 
Oregon, Maryland, Minnesota, Massachusetts, DC, New Jersey, 
California, Connecticut, and New York. With average SALT 
deductions exceeding $9,000, ten more states won't be far 
behind: South Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, West 
Virginia, Colorado, Montana, Delaware, Kansas, and North 
Carolina.
    People living in every congressional district in every 
state in the country use the SALT deduction, and it benefits 
taxpayers of all income levels, directly or indirectly. State 
and local government tax revenues support essential public 
services and investments, like schools, local law enforcement, 
fire fighters, road construction and maintenance, and health 
care. Nearly everyone who itemizes claims the SALT deduction; 
therefore, repealing SALT would raise the cost of state and 
local services on a wide swath of taxpayers. Because this 
provision effectively raises the cost of state and local taxes, 
state and local governments would be pressured to reduce 
revenues and cut crucial public investments. Republicans 
rejected the opportunity to restore fairness in our tax system 
for more taxpayers that are now facing double taxation as a 
result of Republican tax policy choices.
    Republicans rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Thompson 
that would have provided fairness and certainty to taxpayers 
that are victims of natural disasters. The amendment would have 
repealed the limitations in Public Law 115-97 that restricted 
eligibility for itemized deductions related to casualty losses 
to taxpayers in certain disaster areas, and extended a suite of 
provisions to help victims of natural disasters nationwide, 
including: penalty-free access to retirement funds, an employer 
wage tax credit in core disaster areas, a suspension of the 
limitations on deduction for charitable contributions 
associated with disasters, a relaxation of rules associated 
with the deduction for personal casualty losses, a special rule 
for income calculations with respect to the EITC and Child Tax 
Credit, and special rules for application of disaster tax 
relief for possessions of the United States. This is nothing 
more than the same relief the Chairman provided to his 
constituents that were victims of Hurricane Harvey last year. 
It is unconscionable for Republicans to support the notion that 
only those taxpayers that are fortunate enough to reside in the 
district of the Chairman are entitled to tax relief following 
such a tragedy. Republicans rejected the opportunity to provide 
fairness and certainty to all taxpayers facing tragedy.
    Republicans rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Sanchez 
that would have made permanent the reduction of the adjusted 
gross income threshold for deductibility of certain medical 
expenses. The deduction for medical expenses is an important 
backstop for individuals with expensive health care needs. H.R. 
6760 only extended this important tax relief for two years, 
while making permanent all of the other individual provisions, 
including billions in tax relief for millionaires. Republicans 
have done nothing to lower prescription drug costs for seniors, 
address long-term care needs, or stabilize the individual 
market to stem the skyrocketing premiums caused by Republican 
sabotage. Republicans rejected the opportunity to make 
permanent tax relief for millions of Americans facing 
significant health costs, choosing to shower the wealthy in tax 
benefits over middle-class Americans struggling with high out-
of-pocket health care costs.
    Republicans rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Doggett 
that would have compelled the Chairman of the Ways and Means 
Committee to submit a written request to the Secretary of the 
Treasury for federal tax returns filed by or on behalf of the 
President for the last ten years. There are few matters the 
Ways and Means Committee could consider more important than the 
integrity of our tax code, and the faith that the American 
people have in our democracy. The amendment would have 
contained a list of Congressional findings that raised 
questions about the Trump Administration and would have 
demanded Congressional oversight by the Committee on Ways and 
Means.
    Republicans rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Larson 
that would have suspended the Republicans' misguided tax policy 
until it was certified that their billions of dollars in tax 
cuts for the wealthy would not do harm to the Social Security 
and Medicare trust funds. When looking at the ballooning 
deficit, Republicans shift blame away from the $3 trillion 
their policies have added and, instead, blame programs that 
people have worked their entire lives for and have planned for 
in retirement--Medicare and Social Security. These programs are 
the cornerstone of the American middle class, and yet the 
Republicans continue to attack them. Republican actions 
threaten health care for 58 million seniors and individuals 
with disabilities. Since the Republican Tax Scam 1.0 was signed 
into law, the Medicare Trust Fund's solvency has been slashed 
by three years. The Republican's health care repeal bill would 
have cut three years from Medicare's Trust Fund. In contrast, 
the Affordable Care Act added 12 years to the Medicare Trust 
Fund. It is clear that enactment of these tax cut giveaways are 
part of the two-step Republican strategy to cut Social Security 
and Medicare: First, the Republicans explode the deficit by 
cutting taxes for the rich. Second, the Republicans use the 
deficits created by their tax cuts as an excuse to cut Social 
Security and Medicare benefits. Republicans rejected the 
opportunity to demonstrate to their constituents a real 
commitment to ensuring that benefits earned by hardworking 
Americans would not be cut at the expense of tax cuts for the 
wealthy.
    Republicans rejected an amendment offered by Rep. Doggett 
that would have put the American worker first--ahead of 
billions in tax relief for multinational corporations. The 
amendment would have suspended the preferential tax rates on 
money that multinational corporations stashed offshore until 
the Joint Committee on Taxation certified that Americans' 
average household income had increased by $4,000, a promise 
made by President Trump and Congressional Republicans. It is 
clear that, consistent with their record of offering lip 
service to the middle class while lavishing corporations and 
wealthy individuals with tax relief, Republicans were never 
going to keep that promise to American workers. Republicans 
rejected this opportunity to put the American worker first.
    I said it when Republicans rammed through their first 
deficit-busting tax cuts, and I'll say it again: American 
families should not be forced to watch as the rich get richer, 
and they fall further and further behind. H.R. 6760 would do 
just that.
