date of delivery or the date of payment, as the case may be.

(2) Mailing requirements

This subsection shall apply only if -

(A) the postmark date falls within the prescribed period or

on or before the prescribed date -

(i) for the filing (including any extension granted for

such filing) of the return, claim, statement, or other

(c) Registered and certified mailing; electronic filing

(1) Registered mail

For purposes of this section, if any return, claim, statement,

registered mail -

(A) such registration shall be prima facie evidence that the

apply to certified mail and electronic filing.

prescribed by the Secretary under section 6302(c)) on or before a

prescribed date is, after such date, delivered by the United

loan association, or credit union authorized to receive such

deposit, such deposit shall be deemed received by such bank,

trust company, domestic building and loan association, or credit

union on the date the deposit was mailed.

postage prepaid, properly addressed to the bank, trust company,

domestic building and loan association, or credit union

Paragraph (1) shall not apply with respect to any deposit of

$20,000 or more by any person who is required to deposit any tax

more than once a month.

Sec. 7507. Exemption of insolvent banks from tax

-STATUTE-

(a) Assets in general

Whenever and after any bank or trust company, a substantial

portion of the business of which consists of receiving deposits and

making loans and discounts, has ceased to do business by reason of

insolvency or bankruptcy, no tax shall be assessed or collected, or

paid into the Treasury of the United States, on account of such

bank or trust company, which shall diminish the assets thereof

necessary for the full payment of all its depositors; and such tax

shall be abated from such national banks as are found by the

Comptroller of the Currency to be insolvent; and the Secretary,

when the facts shall appear to him, is authorized to remit so much

of the said tax against any such insolvent banks and trust

companies organized under State law as shall be found to affect the

claims of their depositors.

(b) Segregated assets; earnings

Whenever any bank or trust company, a substantial portion of the

business of which consists of receiving deposits and making loans

and discounts, has been released or discharged from its liability

to its depositors for any part of their claims against it, and such

depositors have accepted, in lieu thereof, a lien upon subsequent

earnings of such bank or trust company, or claims against assets

segregated by such bank or trust company or against assets

transferred from it to an individual or corporate trustee or agent,

no tax shall be assessed or collected, or paid into the Treasury of

the United States, on account of such bank or trust company, such

individual or corporate trustee or such agent, which shall diminish

the assets thereof which are available for the payment of such

depositor claims and which are necessary for the full payment

thereof. The term "agent", as used in this subsection, shall be

deemed to include a corporation acting as a liquidating agent.

(c) Refund; reassessment; statutes of limitation

(1) Any such tax collected shall be deemed to be erroneously

collected, and shall be refunded subject to all provisions and

limitations of law, so far as applicable, relating to the refunding

of taxes.

(2) Any tax, the assessment, collection, or payment of which is

barred under subsection (a), or any such tax which has been abated

or remitted shall be assessed or reassessed whenever it shall

appear that payment of the tax will not diminish the assets as

aforesaid.

(3) Any tax, the assessment, collection, or payment of which is

barred under subsection (b), or any such tax which has been

refunded shall be assessed or reassessed after full payment of such

claims of depositors to the extent of the remaining assets

segregated or transferred as described in subsection (b).

(4) The running of the statute of limitations on the making of

assessment and collection shall be suspended during, and for 90

days beyond, the period for which, pursuant to this section,

assessment or collection may not be made, and a tax may be

reassessed as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection

and collected, during the time within which, had there been no

abatement, collection might have been made.

(d) Exception of employment taxes

This section shall not apply to any tax imposed by chapter 21 or

chapter 23.

area designated by the President of the United States by Executive

order as a "combat zone" for purposes of section 112, at any time

during the period designated by the President by Executive order as

the period of combatant activities in such zone for purposes of

such section, or hospitalized as a result of injury received while

serving in such an area during such time, the period of service in

such area, plus the period of continuous qualified hospitalization

attributable to such injury, and the next 180 days thereafter,

shall be disregarded in determining, under the internal revenue

laws, in respect of any tax liability (including any interest,

penalty, additional amount, or addition to the tax) of such

individual -

(1) Whether any of the following acts was performed within the

time prescribed therefor:

(A) Filing any return of income, estate, or gift tax (except

income tax withheld at source and income tax imposed by

subtitle C or any law superseded thereby);

(B) Payment of any income, estate, or gift tax (except income

tax withheld at source and income tax imposed by subtitle C or

any law superseded thereby) or any installment thereof or of

any other liability to the United States in respect thereof;

(C) Filing a petition with the Tax Court for redetermination

of a deficiency, or for review of a decision rendered by the

Subsection (a) shall not apply for purposes of determining the

amount of interest on any overpayment of tax.

(2) Special rules

If an individual is entitled to the benefits of subsection (a)

with respect to any return and such return is timely filed

(determined after the application of such subsection),

subsections (b)(3) and (e) of section 6611 shall not apply.

(c) Application to spouse

The provisions of this section shall apply to the spouse of any

individual entitled to the benefits of subsection (a). Except in

the case of the combat zone designated for purposes of the Vietnam

proceeding authorized by section 6851 (regardless of the taxable

year for which the tax arose), chapter 70, or 71, as well as any

other action or proceeding authorized by law in connection

therewith, may be taken, begun, or prosecuted. In any other case

in which the Secretary determines that collection of the amount

of any assessment would be jeopardized by delay, the provisions

of subsection (a) shall not operate to stay collection of such

amount by levy or otherwise as authorized by law. There shall be

excluded from any amount assessed or collected pursuant to this

paragraph the amount of interest, penalty, additional amount, and

addition to the tax, if any, in respect of the period disregarded

under subsection (a). In any case to which this paragraph

relates, if the Secretary is required to give any notice to or

make any demand upon any person, such requirement shall be deemed

to be satisfied if the notice or demand is prepared and signed,

in any case in which the address of such person last known to the

Secretary is in an area for which United States post offices

under instructions of the Postmaster General are not, by reason

of the combatant activities, accepting mail for delivery at the

time the notice or demand is signed. In such case the notice or

demand shall be deemed to have been given or made upon the date

it is signed.

collection, action, or proceeding it is ascertained that the

person concerned is entitled to the benefits of subsection (a).

on August 2, 1990, and ending on the date on which any portion

hospitalization" means -

(1) any hospitalization outside the United States, and

(A) that portion of the taxable income of the owner or lessee

for such year (computed as provided in chapter 1 but without

regard to the carryback of any net operating loss or net

capital loss and without regard to this section) which is

attributable to the operation of the agreement vessels in the

foreign or domestic commerce of the United States or in the

fisheries of the United States,

(B) the amount allowable as a deduction under section 167 for

such year with respect to the agreement vessels,

(C) if the transaction is not taken into account for purposes

of subparagraph (A), the net proceeds (as defined in joint

regulations) from -

(i) the sale or other disposition of any agreement vessel,

or

(ii) insurance or indemnity attributable to any agreement

vessel, and

(D) the receipts from the investment or reinvestment of

amounts held in such fund.

(2) Limitations on deposits by lessees

In the case of a lessee, the maximum amount which may be

which, under an agreement entered into under section 607 of the

Merchant Marine Act, 1936, the owner is required or permitted to

deposit for such period with respect to such vessel by reason of

paragraph (1)(B).

be currently fully listed and registered on an exchange

registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a

national securities exchange, and must be stock which would be

acquired by prudent men of discretion and intelligence in such

matters who are seeking a reasonable income and the preservation

of their capital. If at any time the fair market value of the

stock in the fund is more than the agreed percentage of the

assets in the fund, any subsequent investment of amounts

not exceed such agreed percentage.

(3) Investment in certain preferred stock permitted

or container is made out of the capital gain account, the basis

of such vessel, barge, or container shall be reduced by an amount

equal to such portion.

(4) Adjustment to basis of vessels, etc., where withdrawals pay

principal on debt

If any portion of a qualified withdrawal to pay the principal

on any indebtedness is made out of the ordinary income account or

the capital gain account, then an amount equal to the aggregate

reduction which would be required by paragraphs (2) and (3) if

this were a qualified withdrawal for a purpose described in such

included in income as an item of ordinary income for the

taxable year in which the withdrawal is made,

included in income for the taxable year in which the withdrawal

is made as an item of gain realized during such year from the

disposition of an asset held for more than 6 months, and

payment of tax for the taxable year in which this withdrawal is

determined and published jointly by the Secretary of the

Treasury or his delegate and the applicable Secretary and shall

bear a relationship to 8 percent which the Secretaries

determine under joint regulations to be comparable to the

relationship which the money rates and investment yields for

the calendar year immediately preceding the beginning of the

taxable year bear to the money rates and investment yields for

the calendar year 1970.

taxed as nonqualified withdrawal

(A) In general

The applicable percentage of any amount which remains in a

capital construction fund at the close of the 26th, 27th, 28th,

29th, or 30th taxable year following the taxable year for which

construction fund on January 1, 1987, shall be treated as

deposited in such fund on such date.

(6) Nonqualified withdrawals taxed at highest marginal rate

(A) In general

In the case of any taxable year for which there is a

nonqualified withdrawal (including any amount so treated under

paragraph (5)), the tax imposed by chapter 1 shall be

determined -

(i) by excluding such withdrawal from gross income, and

(ii) by increasing the tax imposed by chapter 1 by the

product of the amount of such withdrawal and the highest rate

of tax specified in section 1 (section 11 in the case of a

corporation).

With respect to the portion of any nonqualified withdrawal made

out of the capital gain account during a taxable year to which

section 1(h) or 1201(a) applies, the rate of tax taken into

account under the preceding sentence shall not exceed 20

percent (34 percent in the case of a corporation).

allowed as a deduction under section 172 for the taxable year

in which such withdrawal occurs.

income under section 172(b)(2).

(1) a transfer of a fund from one person to another person in a

transaction to which section 381 applies may be treated as if

such transaction did not constitute a nonqualified withdrawal,

and

(2) a similar rule shall be applied in the case of a

continuation of a partnership.

such taxable year (or any preceding taxable year) exceeds $500.

(b) Required payment

For purposes of this section, the term "required payment" means,

with respect to any applicable election year of a partnership or S

corporation, an amount equal to -

(1) the excess of the product of -

(A) the applicable percentage of the adjusted highest section

1 rate, multiplied by

(B) the net base year income of the entity, over

(2) the net required payment balance.

For purposes of paragraph (1)(A), the term "adjusted highest

section 1 rate" means the highest rate of tax in effect under
