disposed of, within 6 months after the decedent's death such property
shall be valued as of the date of distribution, sale, exchange, or other
disposition.

(2) In the case of property not distributed, sold, exchanged, or
otherwise disposed of, within 6 months after the decedent's death such
property shall be valued as of the date 6 months after the decedent's
death.

(3) Any interest or estate which is affected by mere lapse of time
shall be included at its value as of the time of death (instead of the

later date not due to mere lapse of time.

(b) Special rules.--No deduction under this chapter of any item shall
be allowed if allowance for such items is in effect given by the
alternate valuation provided by this section. Wherever in any other
subsection or section of this chapter reference is made to the value of
property at the time of the decedent's death, such reference shall be

shall be valued as of the date of the decedent's death with adjustment
for any difference in value (not due to mere lapse of time or the
occurrence or nonoccurrence of a contingency) of the property as of the
date 6 months after the decedent's death (substituting, in the case of
property distributed by the executor or trustee, or sold, exchanged, or
otherwise disposed of, during such 6-month period, the date thereof).

(c) Election must decrease gross estate and estate tax.--No election
may be made under this section with respect to an estate unless such
election will decrease--

(2) the sum of the tax imposed by this chapter and the tax imposed by
chapter 13 with respect to property includible in the decedent's gross
estate (reduced by credits allowable against such taxes).

(d) Election.--

(1) In general.--The election provided for in this section shall be
made by the executor on the return of the tax imposed by this chapter.
Such election, once made, shall be irrevocable.

(2) Exception.--No election may be made under this section if such
return is filed more than 1 year after the time prescribed by law

(B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for
such calendar year by substituting "calendar year 1997" for "calendar
year 1992" in subparagraph (B) thereof.

If any amount as adjusted under the preceding sentence is not a
multiple of $10,000, such amount shall be rounded to the next lowest
multiple of $10,000.

decedent and which, on the date of the decedent's death, was being used
for a qualified use by the decedent or a member of the decedent's
family, but only if--

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.

shall be applied by taking into account any application of paragraph
(4).

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

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

chapter (determined without regard to subsection (a)) over the value of
such interest determined under subsection (a), bears to

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

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

woodland shall be reduced by any amount determined under this
subparagraph with respect to such woodland.

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,

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

qualified heir begins to use the qualified real property (hereinafter in
this subparagraph referred to as the commencement date) is before the

child of an individual shall be treated as the child of such individual
by blood.

patterns for the area, taking into account soil capacity, terrain
configuration, and similar factors,

(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).

any time held qualified real property as community property, the

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

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

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

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.

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.--

(1) Treatment of property exchanged.--

(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,

(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

§ 2033. Property in Which the Decedent had an Interest. The value of
the gross estate shall include the value of all property to the extent
of the interest therein of the decedent at the time of his death.

§ 2034. Dower or Curtesy Interests. The value of the gross estate
shall include the value of all property to the extent of any interest
therein of the surviving spouse, existing at the time of the decedent's
death as dower or curtesy, or by virtue of a statute creating an estate
in lieu of dower or curtesy.

§ 2035. Adjustments for Certain Gifts Made Within Three Years of
Decedent's Death. (a) Inclusion of certain property in gross
estate.--If--

(1) the decedent made a transfer (by trust or otherwise) of an
interest in any property, or relinquished a power with respect to any
property, during the 3-year period ending on the date of the decedent's
death, and

(2) the value of such property (or an interest therein) would have
been included in the decedent's gross estate under section 2036, 2037,
2038, or 2042 if such transferred interest or relinquished power had
been retained by the decedent on the date of his death,

the value of the gross estate shall include the value of any property
(or interest therein) which would have been so included.

(b) Inclusion of gift tax on gifts made during 3 years before
decedent's death.--The amount of the gross estate (determined without
regard to this subsection) shall be increased by the amount of any tax
paid under chapter 12 by the decedent or his estate on any gift made by
the decedent or his spouse during the 3-year period ending on the date
of the decedent's death.

(c) Other rules relating to transfers within 3 years of death.--

(1) In general.--For purposes of--

(A) section 303(b) (relating to distributions in redemption of stock
to pay death taxes),

(B) section 2032A (relating to special valuation of certain farms,
etc., real property), and

(C) subchapter C of chapter 64 (relating to lien for taxes),

the value of the gross estate shall include the value of all property
to the extent of any interest therein of which the decedent has at any
time made a transfer, by trust or otherwise, during the 3-year period
ending on the date of the decedent's death.

(2) Coordination with section 6166.--An estate shall be treated as
meeting the 35 percent of adjusted gross estate requirement of section
6166(a)(1) only if the estate meets such requirement both with and
without the application of subsection (a).

(3) Marital and small transfers.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply to any
transfer (other than a transfer with respect to a life insurance policy)
made during a calendar year to any donee if the decedent was not
required by section 6019 (other than by reason of section 6019(2)) to
file any gift tax return for such year with respect to transfers to such
donee.

(d) Exception.--Subsection (a) and paragraph (1) of subsection (c)
shall not apply to any bona fide sale for an adequate and full
consideration in money or money's worth.

(e) Treatment of certain transfers from revocable trusts.--For
purposes of this section and section 2038, any transfer from any portion
of a trust during any period that such portion was treated under section
676 as owned by the decedent by reason of a power in the grantor
(determined without regard to section 672(e)) shall be treated as a
transfer made directly by the decedent.

§ 2036. Transfers with Retained Life Estate. (a) General rule.--The
value of the gross estate shall include the value of all property to the
extent of any interest therein of which the decedent has at any time
made a transfer (except in case of a bona fide sale for an adequate and
full consideration in money or money's worth), by trust or otherwise,
under which he has retained for his life or for any period not
ascertainable without reference to his death or for any period which
does not in fact end before his death--

(1) the possession or enjoyment of, or the right to the income from,
the property, or

(2) the right, either alone or in conjunction with any person, to
designate the persons who shall possess or enjoy the property or the
income therefrom.

(b) Voting rights.--

(1) In general.--For purposes of subsection (a)(1), the retention of
the right to vote (directly or indirectly) shares of stock of a
controlled corporation shall be considered to be a retention of the
enjoyment of transferred property.

(2) Controlled corporation.--For purposes of paragraph (1), a
corporation shall be treated as a controlled corporation if, at any time
after the transfer of the property and during the 3-year period ending
on the date of the decedent's death, the decedent owned (with the
application of section 318), or had the right (either alone or in
conjunction with any person) to vote, stock possessing at least 20
percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock.

(3) Coordination with section 2035.--For purposes of applying section
2035 with respect to paragraph (1), the relinquishment or cessation of
voting rights shall be treated as a transfer of property made by the
decedent.

(c) Limitation on application of general rule.--This section shall not
apply to a transfer made before March 4, 1931; nor to a transfer made
after March 3, 1931, and before June 7, 1932, unless the property
transferred would have been includible in the decedent's gross estate by
reason of the amendatory language of the joint resolution of March 3,
1931 (46 Stat. 1516).

§ 2037. Transfers Taking Effect at Death. (a) General rule.--The value
of the gross estate shall include the value of all property to the
extent of any interest therein of which the decedent has at any time
after September 7, 1916, made a transfer (except in case of a bona fide
sale for an adequate and full consideration in money or money's worth),
by trust or otherwise, if--

(1) possession or enjoyment of the property can, through ownership of
such interest, be obtained only by surviving the decedent, and

(2) the decedent has retained a reversionary interest in the property
(but in the case of a transfer made before October 8, 1949, only if such
reversionary interest arose by the express terms of the instrument of
transfer), and the value of such reversionary interest immediately
before the death of the decedent exceeds 5 percent of the value of such
property.

(b) Special rules.--For purposes of this section, the term
"reversionary interest" includes a possibility that property transferred
by the decedent--

(1) may return to him or his estate, or

(2) may be subject to a power of disposition by him,

but such term does not include a possibility that the income alone
from such property may return to him or become subject to a power of
disposition by him. The value of a reversionary interest immediately
before the death of the decedent shall be determined (without regard to
the fact of the decedent's death) by usual methods of valuation,
including the use of tables of mortality and actuarial principles, under
regulations prescribed by the Secretary. In determining the value of a
possibility that property may be subject to a power of disposition by
the decedent, such possibility shall be valued as if it were a
possibility that such property may return to the decedent or his estate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an interest so transferred shall not be
included in the decedent's gross estate under this section if possession
or enjoyment of the property could have been obtained by any beneficiary
during the decedent's life through the exercise of a general power of
appointment (as defined in section 2041) which in fact was exercisable
immediately before the decedent's death.

§ 2038. Revocable Transfers. (a) In general.--The value of the gross
estate shall include the value of all property--

(1) Transfers after June 22, 1936.--To the extent of any interest
therein of which the decedent has at any time made a transfer (except in
case of a bona fide sale for an adequate and full consideration in money
or money's worth), by trust or otherwise, where the enjoyment thereof
was subject at the date of his death to any change through the exercise
of a power (in whatever capacity exercisable) by the decedent alone or
by the decedent in conjunction with any other person (without regard to
when or from what source the decedent acquired such power), to alter,
amend, revoke, or terminate, or where any such power is relinquished
during the 3-year period ending on the date of the decedent's death.

(2) Transfers on or before June 22, 1936.--To the extent of any
interest therein of which the decedent has at any time made a transfer
(except in case of a bona fide sale for an adequate and full
consideration in money or money's worth), by trust or otherwise, where
the enjoyment thereof was subject at the date of his death to any change
through the exercise of a power, either by the decedent alone or in
conjunction with any person, to alter, amend, or revoke, or where the
decedent relinquished any such power during the 3-year period ending on
the date of the decedent's death. Except in the case of transfers made
after June 22, 1936, no interest of the decedent of which he has made a
transfer shall be included in the gross estate under paragraph (1)
unless it is includible under this paragraph.

(b) Date of existence of power.--For purposes of this section, the
power to alter, amend, revoke, or terminate shall be considered to exist
on the date of the decedent's death even though the exercise of the
power is subject to a precedent giving of notice or even though the
alteration, amendment, revocation, or termination takes effect only on
the expiration of a stated period after the exercise of the power,
whether or not on or before the date of the decedent's death notice has
been given or the power has been exercised. In such cases proper
adjustment shall be made representing the interests which would have
been excluded from the power if the decedent had lived, and for such
purpose, if the notice has not been given or the power has not been
exercised on or before the date of his death, such notice shall be
considered to have been given, or the power exercised, on the date of
his death.

§ 2039. Annuities. (a) General.--The gross estate shall include the
value of an annuity or other payment receivable by any beneficiary by
reason of surviving the decedent under any form of contract or agreement
entered into after March 3, 1931 (other than as insurance under policies
on the life of the decedent), if, under such contract or agreement, an
annuity or other payment was payable to the decedent, or the decedent
possessed the right to receive such annuity or payment, either alone or
in conjunction with another for his life or for any period not
ascertainable without reference to his death or for any period which
does not in fact end before his death.

(b) Amount includible.--Subsection (a) shall apply to only such part
of the value of the annuity or other payment receivable under such
contract or agreement as is proportionate to that part of the purchase
price therefor contributed by the decedent. For purposes of this
section, any contribution by the decedent's employer or former employer
to the purchase price of such contract or agreement (whether or not to
an employee's trust or fund forming part of a pension, annuity,
retirement, bonus or profit sharing plan) shall be considered to be
contributed by the decedent if made by reason of his employment.

§ 2040. Joint Interests. (a) General rule.--The value of the gross
estate shall include the value of all property to the extent of the
interest therein held as joint tenants with right of survivorship by the
decedent and any other person, or as tenants by the entirety by the
decedent and spouse, or deposited, with any person carrying on the
banking business, in their joint names and payable to either or the
survivor, except such part thereof as may be shown to have originally
belonged to such other person and never to have been received or
acquired by the latter from the decedent for less than an adequate and
full consideration in money or money's worth: Provided, That where such
property or any part thereof, or part of the consideration with which
such property was acquired, is shown to have been at any time acquired
by such other person from the decedent for less than an adequate and
full consideration in money or money's worth, there shall be excepted
only such part of the value of such property as is proportionate to the
consideration furnished by such other person: Provided further, That
where any property has been acquired by gift, bequest, devise, or
inheritance, as a tenancy by the entirety by the decedent and spouse,
then to the extent of one-half of the value thereof, or, where so
acquired by the decedent and any other person as joint tenants with
right of survivorship and their interests are not otherwise specified or
fixed by law, then to the extent of the value of a fractional part to be
determined by dividing the value of the property by the number of joint
tenants with right of survivorship.

(b) Certain joint interests of husband and wife.--

(1) Interests of spouse excluded from gross estate.--Notwithstanding
subsection (a), in the case of any qualified joint interest, the value
included in the gross estate with respect to such interest by reason of
this section is one-half of the value of such qualified joint interest.

(2) Qualified joint interest defined.--For purposes of paragraph (1),
the term "qualified joint interest" means any interest in property held
by the decedent and the decedent's spouse as--

(A) tenants by the entirety, or

(B) joint tenants with right of survivorship, but only if the decedent
and the spouse of the decedent are the only joint tenants.

§ 2041. Powers of Appointment. (a) In general.--The value of the gross
estate shall include the value of all property--

(1) Powers of appointment created on or before October 21, 1942.--To
the extent of any property with respect to which a general power of
appointment created on or before October 21, 1942, is exercised by the
decedent--

(A) by will, or

(B) by a disposition which is of such nature that if it were a
transfer of property owned by the decedent, such property would be
includible in the decedent's gross estate under sections 2035 to 2038,
inclusive;

but the failure to exercise such a power or the complete release of
such a power shall not be deemed an exercise thereof. If a general power
of appointment created on or before October 21, 1942, has been partially
released so that it is no longer a general power of appointment, the
exercise of such power shall not be deemed to be the exercise of a
general power of appointment if--

(i) such partial release occurred before November 1, 1951, or

(ii) the donee of such power was under a legal disability to release
such power on October 21, 1942, and such partial release occurred not
later than 6 months after the termination of such legal disability.

(2) Powers created after October 21, 1942.--To the extent of any
property with respect to which the decedent has at the time of his death
a general power of appointment created after October 21, 1942, or with
respect to which the decedent has at any time exercised or released such
a power of appointment by a disposition which is of such nature that if
it were a transfer of property owned by the decedent, such property
would be includible in the decedent's gross estate under sections 2035
to 2038, inclusive. For purposes of this paragraph (2), the power of
appointment shall be considered to exist on the date of the decedent's
death even though the exercise of the power is subject to a precedent
giving of notice or even though the exercise of the power takes effect
only on the expiration of a stated period after its exercise, whether or
not on or before the date of the decedent's death notice has been given
or the power has been exercised.

(3) Creation of another power in certain cases.--To the extent of any
property with respect to which the decedent--

(A) by will, or

(B) by a disposition which is of such nature that if it were a
transfer of property owned by the decedent such property would be
includible in the decedent's gross estate under section 2035, 2036, or
2037,

exercises a power of appointment created after October 21, 1942, by
creating another power of appointment which under the applicable local
law can be validly exercised so as to postpone the vesting of any estate
or interest in such property, or suspend the absolute ownership or power
of alienation of such property, for a period ascertainable without
regard to the date of the creation of the first power.

(b) Definitions.--For purposes of subsection (a)--

(1) General power of appointment.--The term "general power of
appointment" means a power which is exercisable in favor of the
decedent, his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate;
except that--

(A) A power to consume, invade, or appropriate property for the
benefit of the decedent which is limited by an ascertainable standard
relating to the health, education, support, or maintenance of the
decedent shall not be deemed a general power of appointment.

(B) A power of appointment created on or before October 21, 1942,
which is exercisable by the decedent only in conjunction with another
person shall not be deemed a general power of appointment.

(C) In the case of a power of appointment created after October 21,
1942, which is exercisable by the decedent only in conjunction with
another person--

(i) If the power is not exercisable by the decedent except in
conjunction with the creator of the power--such power shall not be
deemed a general power of appointment.

(ii) If the power is not exercisable by the decedent except in
conjunction with a person having a substantial interest in the property,
subject to the power, which is adverse to exercise of the power in favor
of the decedent--such power shall not be deemed a general power of
appointment. For the purposes of this clause a person who, after the
death of the decedent, may be possessed of a power of appointment (with
respect to the property subject to the decedent's power) which he may
exercise in his own favor shall be deemed as having an interest in the
property and such interest shall be deemed adverse to such exercise of
the decedent's power.

(iii) If (after the application of clauses (i) and (ii)) the power is
a general power of appointment and is exercisable in favor of such other
person--such power shall be deemed a general power of appointment only
in respect of a fractional part of the property subject to such power,
such part to be determined by dividing the value of such property by the
number of such persons (including the decedent) in favor of whom such
power is exercisable.

For purposes of clauses (ii) and (iii), a power shall be deemed to be
exercisable in favor of a person if it is exercisable in favor of such
person, his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate.

(2) Lapse of power.--The lapse of a power of appointment created after
October 21, 1942, during the life of the individual possessing the power
shall be considered a release of such power. The preceding sentence
shall apply with respect to the lapse of powers during any calendar year
only to the extent that the property, which could have been appointed by
exercise of such lapsed powers, exceeded in value, at the time of such
lapse, the greater of the following amounts:

(A) $5,000, or

(B) 5 percent of the aggregate value, at the time of such lapse, of
the assets out of which, or the proceeds of which, the exercise of the
lapsed powers could have been satisfied.

(3) Date of creation of power.--For purposes of this section, a power
of appointment created by a will executed on or before October 21, 1942,
shall be considered a power created on or before such date if the person
executing such will dies before July 1, 1949, without having republished
such will, by codicil or otherwise, after October 21, 1942.

§ 2042. Proceeds of Life Insurance. The value of the gross estate
shall include the value of all property--

(1) Receivable by the executor.--To the extent of the amount
receivable by the executor as insurance under policies on the life of
the decedent.

(2) Receivable by other beneficiaries.--To the extent of the amount
receivable by all other beneficiaries as insurance under policies on the
life of the decedent with respect to which the decedent possessed at his
death any of the incidents of ownership, exercisable either alone or in
conjunction with any other person. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the term "incident of ownership" includes a reversionary
interest (whether arising by the express terms of the policy or other
instrument or by operation of law) only if the value of such
reversionary interest exceeded 5 percent of the value of the policy
immediately before the death of the decedent. As used in this paragraph,
the term "reversionary interest" includes a possibility that the policy,
or the proceeds of the policy, may return to the decedent or his estate,
or may be subject to a power of disposition by him. The value of a
reversionary interest at any time shall be determined (without regard to
the fact of the decedent's death) by usual methods of valuation,
including the use of tables of mortality and actuarial principles,
pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. In determining the
value of a possibility that the policy or proceeds thereof may be
subject to a power of disposition by the decedent, such possibility
shall be valued as if it were a possibility that such policy or proceeds
may return to the decedent or his estate.

§ 2043. Transfers for Insufficient Consideration. (a) In general.--If
any one of the transfers, trusts, interests, rights, or powers
enumerated and described in sections 2035 to 2038, inclusive, and
section 2041 is made, created, exercised, or relinquished for a
consideration in money or money's worth, but is not a bona fide sale for
an adequate and full consideration in money or money's worth, there
shall be included in the gross estate only the excess of the fair market
value at the time of death of the property otherwise to be included on
account of such transaction, over the value of the consideration
received therefor by the decedent.

(b) Marital rights not treated as consideration.--

(1) In general.--For purposes of this chapter, a relinquishment or
promised relinquishment of dower or curtesy, or of a statutory estate
created in lieu of dower or curtesy, or of other marital rights in the
decedent's property or estate, shall not be considered to any extent a
consideration "in money or money's worth".

(2) Exception.--For purposes of section 2053 (relating to expenses,
indebtedness, and taxes), a transfer of property which satisfies the
requirements of paragraph (1) of section 2516 (relating to certain
property settlements) shall be considered to be made for an adequate and
full consideration in money or money's worth.

§ 2044. Certain Property for Which Marital Deduction Was Previously
Allowed. (a) General rule.--The value of the gross estate shall include
the value of any property to which this section applies in which the
decedent had a qualifying income interest for life.

(b) Property to which this section applies.--This section applies to
any property if--

(1) a deduction was allowed with respect to the transfer of such
property to the decedent--

(A) under section 2056 by reason of subsection (b)(7) thereof, or

(B) under section 2523 by reason of subsection (f) thereof, and

(2) section 2519 (relating to dispositions of certain life estates)
did not apply with respect to a disposition by the decedent of part or
all of such property.

(c) Property treated as having passed from decedent.--For purposes of
this chapter and chapter 13, property includible in the gross estate of
the decedent under subsection (a) shall be treated as property passing
from the decedent.

§ 2045. Prior Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided by
law, sections 2034 to 2042, inclusive, shall apply to the transfers,
trusts, estates, interests, rights, powers, and relinquishment of
powers, as severally enumerated and described therein, whenever made,
created, arising, existing, exercised, or relinquished.

§ 2046. Disclaimers. For provisions relating to the effect of a
qualified disclaimer for purposes of this chapter, see section 2518.

§ 2053. Expenses, indebtedness, and taxes. (a) General rule.--For
purposes of the tax imposed by section 2001, the value of the taxable
estate shall be determined by deducting from the value of the gross
estate such amounts--

(1) for funeral expenses,

(2) for administration expenses,

(3) for claims against the estate, and

(4) for unpaid mortgages on, or any indebtedness in respect of,
property where the value of the decedent's interest therein,
undiminished by such mortgage or indebtedness, is included in the value
of the gross estate,

as are allowable by the laws of the jurisdiction, whether within or
without the United States, under which the estate is being administered.

(b) Other administration expenses.--Subject to the limitations in
paragraph (1) of subsection (c), there shall be deducted in determining
the taxable estate amounts representing expenses incurred in
administering property not subject to claims which is included in the
gross estate to the same extent such amounts would be allowable as a
deduction under subsection (a) if such property were subject to claims,
and such amounts are paid before the expiration of the period of
limitation for assessment provided in section 6501.

(c) Limitations.--

(1) Limitations applicable to subsections (a) and (b).--

(A) Consideration for claims.--The deduction allowed by this section
in the case of claims against the estate, unpaid mortgages, or any
indebtedness shall, when founded on a promise or agreement, be limited
to the extent that they were contracted bona fide and for an adequate
and full consideration in money or money's worth; except that in any
case in which any such claim is founded on a promise or agreement of the
decedent to make a contribution or gift to or for the use of any donee
described in section 2055 for the purposes specified therein, the
deduction for such claims shall not be so limited, but shall be limited
to the extent that it would be allowable as a deduction under section
2055 if such promise or agreement constituted a bequest.

(B) Certain taxes.--Any income taxes on income received after the
death of the decedent, or property taxes not accrued before his death,
or any estate, succession, legacy, or inheritance taxes, shall not be
deductible under this section.

(C) Certain claims by remaindermen.--No deduction shall be allowed
under this section for a claim against the estate by a remainderman
relating to any property described in section 2044.

(D) 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.

(2) Limitations applicable only to subsection (a).--In the case of the
amounts described in subsection (a), there shall be disallowed the
amount by which the deductions specified therein exceed the value, at
the time of the decedent's death, of property subject to claims, except
to the extent that such deductions represent amounts paid before the
date prescribed for the filing of the estate tax return. For purposes of
this section, the term "property subject to claims" means property
includible in the gross estate of the decedent which, or the avails of
which, would under the applicable law, bear the burden of the payment of
such deductions in the final adjustment and settlement of the estate,
except that the value of the property shall be reduced by the amount of
the deduction under section 2054 attributable to such property.

(d) Certain foreign death taxes.--

(1) In general.--Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection
(c)(1)(B), for purposes of the tax imposed by section 2001, the value of
the taxable estate may be determined, if the executor so elects before
the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment provided in
section 6501, by deducting from the value of the gross estate the amount
(as determined in accordance with regulations prescribed by the
Secretary) of any estate, succession, legacy, or inheritance tax imposed
by and actually paid to any foreign country, in respect of any property
situated within such foreign country and included in the gross estate of
a citizen or resident of the United States, upon a transfer by the
decedent for public, charitable, or religious uses described in section
2055. The determination under this paragraph of the country within which
property is situated shall be made in accordance with the rules
applicable under subchapter B (sec. 2101 and following) in determining
whether property is situated within or without the United States. Any
election under this paragraph shall be exercised in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Secretary.

(2) Condition for allowance of deduction.--No deduction shall be
allowed under paragraph (1) for a foreign death tax specified therein
unless the decrease in the tax imposed by section 2001 which results
from the deduction provided in paragraph (1) will inure solely for the
benefit of the public, charitable, or religious transferees described in
section 2055 or section 2106(a)(2). In any case where the tax imposed by
section 2001 is equitably apportioned among all the transferees of
property included in the gross estate, including those described in
sections 2055 and 2106(a)(2) (taking into account any exemptions,
credits, or deductions allowed by this chapter), in determining such
decrease, there shall be disregarded any decrease in the Federal estate
tax which any transferees other than those described in sections 2055
and 2106(a)(2) are required to pay.

(3) Effect on credit for foreign death taxes of deduction under this
subsection.--

(A) Election.--An election under this subsection shall be deemed a
waiver of the right to claim a credit, against the Federal estate tax,
under a death tax convention with any foreign country for any tax or
portion thereof in respect of which a deduction is taken under this
subsection.

(B) Cross reference.--

See section 2011(d) for the effect of a deduction taken under this
paragraph on the credit for foreign death taxes.

(e) Marital rights.--

For provisions treating certain relinquishments of marital rights as
consideration in money or money's worth, see section 2043(b)(2).

§ 2054. Losses. For purposes of the tax imposed by section 2001, the
value of the taxable estate shall be determined by deducting from the
value of the gross estate losses incurred during the settlement of
estates arising from fires, storms, shipwrecks, or other casualties, or
from theft, when such losses are not compensated for by insurance or
otherwise.

§ 2055. Transfers for public, charitable, and religious uses.

(a) In general.--For purposes of the tax imposed by section 2001, the
value of the taxable estate shall be determined by deducting from the
value of the gross estate the amount of all bequests, legacies, devises,
or transfers--

(1) to or for the use of the United States, any State, any political
subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia, for exclusively public
purposes;

(2) to or for the use of any corporation organized and operated
exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or
educational purposes, including the encouragement of art, or to foster
national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no
part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or
equipment), and the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, no
part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private
stockholder or individual, which is not disqualified for tax exemption
under section 501(c)(3) by reason of attempting to influence
legislation, and which does not participate in, or intervene in
(including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political
campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public
office;

(3) to a trustee or trustees, or a fraternal society, order, or
association operating under the lodge system, but only if such
contributions or gifts are to be used by such trustee or trustees, or by
such fraternal society, order, or association, exclusively for
religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes, or
for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, such trust,
fraternal society, order, or association would not be disqualified for
tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) by reason of attempting to
influence legislation, and such trustee or trustees, or such fraternal
society, order, or association, does not participate in, or intervene in
(including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political
campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public
office;

(4) to or for the use of any veterans' organization incorporated by
Act of Congress, or of its departments or local chapters or posts, no
part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private
shareholder or individual; or

(5) to an employee stock ownership plan if such transfer qualifies as
a qualified gratuitous transfer of qualified employer securities within
the meaning of section 664(g).

For purposes of this subsection, the complete termination before the
date prescribed for the filing of the estate tax return of a power to
consume, invade, or appropriate property for the benefit of an
individual before such power has been exercised by reason of the death
of such individual or for any other reason shall be considered and
deemed to be a qualified disclaimer with the same full force and effect
as though he had filed such qualified disclaimer. Rules similar to the
rules of section 501(j) shall apply for purposes of paragraph (2).

(b) Powers of appointment.--Property includible in the decedent's
gross estate under section 2041 (relating to powers of appointment)
received by a donee described in this section shall, for purposes of
this section, be considered a bequest of such decedent.

(c) Death taxes payable out of bequests.--If the tax imposed by
section 2001, or any estate, succession, legacy, or inheritance taxes,
are, either by the terms of the will, by the law of the jurisdiction
under which the estate is administered, or by the law of the
jurisdiction imposing the particular tax, payable in whole or in part
out of the bequests, legacies, or devises otherwise deductible under
this section, then the amount deductible under this section shall be the
amount of such bequests, legacies, or devises reduced by the amount of
such taxes.

(d) Limitation on deduction.--The amount of the deduction under this
section for any transfer shall not exceed the value of the transferred
property required to be included in the gross estate.

(e) Disallowance of deductions in certain cases.--

(1) No deduction shall be allowed under this section for a transfer to
or for the use of an organization or trust described in section 508(d)
or 4948(c)(4) subject to the conditions specified in such sections.

(2) Where an interest in property (other than an interest described in
section 170(f)(3)(B)) passes or has passed from the decedent to a
person, or for a use, described in subsection (a), and an interest
(other than an interest which is extinguished upon the decedent's death)
in the same property passes or has passed (for less than an adequate and
full consideration in money or money's worth) from the decedent to a
person, or for a use, not described in subsection (a), no deduction
shall be allowed under this section for the interest which passes or has
passed to the person, or for the use, described in subsection (a)
unless--

(A) in the case of a remainder interest, such interest is in a trust
which 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)), or

(B) in the case of any other interest, such interest is in the form of
a guaranteed annuity or is a fixed percentage distributed yearly of the
fair market value of the property (to be determined yearly).

(3) Reformations to comply with paragraph (2).--

(A) In general.--A deduction shall be allowed under subsection (a) in
respect of any qualified reformation.

(B) Qualified reformation.--For purposes of this paragraph, the term
"qualified reformation" means a change of a governing instrument by
reformation, amendment, construction, or otherwise which changes a
reformable interest into a qualified interest but only if--

(i) any difference between--

(I) the actuarial value (determined as of the date of the decedent's
death) of the qualified interest, and

(II) the actuarial value (as so determined) of the reformable
interest,

does not exceed 5 percent of the actuarial value (as so determined) of
the reformable interest,

(ii) in the case of--

(I) a charitable remainder interest, the nonremainder interest (before
and after the qualified reformation) terminated at the same time, or

(II) any other interest, the reformable interest and the qualified
interest are for the same period, and

(iii) such change is effective as of the date of the decedent's death.

A nonremainder interest (before reformation) for a term of years in
excess of 20 years shall be treated as satisfying subclause (I) of
clause (ii) if such interest (after reformation) is for a term of 20
years.

(C) Reformable interest.--For purposes of this paragraph--

(i) In general.--The term "reformable interest" means any interest for
which a deduction would be allowable under subsection (a) at the time of
the decedent's death but for paragraph (2).

(ii) Beneficiary's interest must be fixed.--The term "reformable
interest" does not include any interest unless, before the remainder
vests in possession, all payments to persons other than an organization
described in subsection (a) are expressed either in specified dollar
amounts or a fixed percentage of the fair market value of the property.
For purposes of determining whether all such payments are expressed as a
fixed percentage of the fair market value of the property, section
664(d)(3) shall be taken into account.

(iii) Special rule where timely commencement of reformation.--Clause
(ii) shall not apply to any interest if a judicial proceeding is
commenced to change such interest into a qualified interest not later
than the 90th day after--

(I) if an estate tax return is required to be filed, the last date
(including extensions) for filing such return, or

(II) if no estate tax return is required to be filed, the last date
(including extensions) for filing the income tax return for the 1st
taxable year for which such a return is required to be filed by the
trust.

(iv) Special rule for will executed before January 1, 1979, etc.--In

apply.

(D) Qualified interest.--For purposes of this paragraph, the term
"qualified interest" means an interest for which a deduction is
allowable under subsection (a).

(E) Limitation.--The deduction referred to in subparagraph (A) shall
not exceed the amount of the deduction which would have been allowable
for the reformable interest but for paragraph (2).

(F) Special rule where income beneficiary dies.--If (by reason of the
death of any individual, or by termination or distribution of a trust in
accordance with the terms of the trust instrument) by the due date for
filing the estate tax return (including any extension thereof) a
reformable interest is in a wholly charitable trust or passes directly
to a person or for a use described in subsection (a), a deduction shall
be allowed for such reformable interest as if it had met the
requirements of paragraph (2) on the date of the decedent's death. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "wholly charitable trust"
means a charitable trust which, upon the allowance of a deduction, would
be described in section 4947(a)(1).

(G) Statute of limitations.--The period for assessing any deficiency
of any tax attributable to the application of this paragraph shall not

501(c)(3) organizations), subchapter J (relating to estates, trusts,
beneficiaries, and decedents), and chapter 42 (relating to private
foundations) as may be necessary by reason of the qualified reformation.

(I) Reformations permitted in case of remainder interests in residence
or farm, pooled income funds, etc.--The Secretary shall prescribe
regulations (consistent with the provisions of this paragraph)
permitting reformations in the case of any failure--

remainder interests in personal residence or farm, etc.), or

(ii) to meet the requirements of section 642(c)(5).

(J) Void or reformed trust in cases of insufficient remainder
interests.--In the case of a trust that would qualify (or could be
reformed to qualify pursuant to subparagraph (B)) but for failure to
satisfy the requirement of paragraph (1)(D) or (2)(D) of section 664(d),
such trust may be--

(i) declared null and void ab initio, or

(ii) changed by reformation, amendment, or otherwise to meet such
requirement by reducing the payout rate or the duration (or both) of any
noncharitable beneficiary's interest to the extent necessary to satisfy
such requirement,

pursuant to a proceeding that is commenced within the period required
in subparagraph (C)(iii). In a case described in clause (i), no
deduction shall be allowed under this title for any transfer to the

section 501(c)(3) other than a private foundation (as defined in section
509). For purposes of the preceding sentence, a private operating

private foundation.

(5) Contributions to donor advised funds.--A deduction otherwise
allowed under subsection (a) for any contribution to a donor advised
fund (as defined in section 4966(d)(2)) shall only be allowed if--

(A) the sponsoring organization (as defined in section 4966(d)(1))
with respect to such donor advised fund is not--

§ 2056. Bequests, etc., to surviving spouse. (a) Allowance of marital
deduction.--For purposes of the tax imposed by section 2001, the value
of the taxable estate shall, except as limited by subsection (b), be
determined by deducting from the value of the gross estate an amount
equal to the value of any interest in property which passes or has
passed from the decedent to his surviving spouse, but only to the extent
that such interest is included in determining the value of the gross
estate.

(b) Limitation in the case of life estate or other terminable
interest.--

(1) General rule.--Where, on the lapse of time, on the occurrence of
an event or contingency, or on the failure of an event or contingency to
occur, an interest passing to the surviving spouse will terminate or
fail, no deduction shall be allowed under this section with respect to
such interest--

(A) if an interest in such property passes or has passed (for less
than an adequate and full consideration in money or money's worth) from
the decedent to any person other than such surviving spouse (or the
estate of such spouse); and

(B) if by reason of such passing such person (or his heirs or assigns)
may possess or enjoy any part of such property after such termination or
failure of the interest so passing to the surviving spouse;

and no deduction shall be allowed with respect to such interest (even
if such deduction is not disallowed under subparagraphs (A) and (B))--

(C) if such interest is to be acquired for the surviving spouse,
pursuant to directions of the decedent, by his executor or by the
trustee of a trust.

For purposes of this paragraph, an interest shall not be considered as
an interest which will terminate or fail merely because it is the
ownership of a bond, note, or similar contractual obligation, the
discharge of which would not have the effect of an annuity for life or
for a term.

(2) Interest in unidentified assets.--Where the assets (included in
the decedent's gross estate) out of which, or the proceeds of which, an
interest passing to the surviving spouse may be satisfied include a
particular asset or assets with respect to which no deduction would be
allowed if such asset or assets passed from the decedent to such spouse,
then the value of such interest passing to such spouse shall, for
purposes of subsection (a), be reduced by the aggregate value of such
particular assets.

(3) Interest of spouse conditional on survival for limited
period.--For purposes of this subsection, an interest passing to the
surviving spouse shall not be considered as an interest which will
terminate or fail on the death of such spouse if--

(A) such death will cause a termination or failure of such interest
only if it occurs within a period not exceeding 6 months after the
decedent's death, or only if it occurs as a result of a common disaster
resulting in the death of the decedent and the surviving spouse, or only
if it occurs in the case of either such event; and

(B) such termination or failure does not in fact occur.

(4) Valuation of interest passing to surviving spouse.--In determining
for purposes of subsection (a) the value of any interest in property
passing to the surviving spouse for which a deduction is allowed by this
section--

(A) there shall be taken into account the effect which the tax imposed
by section 2001, or any estate, succession, legacy, or inheritance tax,
has on the net value to the surviving spouse of such interest; and

(B) where such interest or property is encumbered in any manner, or
where the surviving spouse incurs any obligation imposed by the decedent
with respect to the passing of such interest, such encumbrance or
obligation shall be taken into account in the same manner as if the
amount of a gift to such spouse of such interest were being determined.

(5) Life estate with power of appointment in surviving spouse.--In the
case of an interest in property passing from the decedent, if his
surviving spouse is entitled for life to all the income from the entire
interest, or all the income from a specific portion thereof, payable
annually or at more frequent intervals, with power in the surviving
spouse to appoint the entire interest, or such specific portion
(exercisable in favor of such surviving spouse, or of the estate of such
surviving spouse, or in favor of either, whether or not in each case the
power is exercisable in favor of others), and with no power in any other
person to appoint any part of the interest, or such specific portion, to
any person other than the surviving spouse--

(A) the interest or such portion thereof so passing shall, for
purposes of subsection (a), be considered as passing to the surviving
spouse, and

(B) no part of the interest so passing shall, for purposes of
paragraph (1)(A), be considered as passing to any person other than the
surviving spouse.

This paragraph shall apply only if such power in the surviving spouse
to appoint the entire interest, or such specific portion thereof,
whether exercisable by will or during life, is exercisable by such
spouse alone and in all events.

(6) Life insurance or annuity payments with power of appointment in
surviving spouse.--In the case of an interest in property passing from
the decedent consisting of proceeds under a life insurance, endowment,
or annuity contract, if under the terms of the contract such proceeds
are payable in installments or are held by the insurer subject to an
agreement to pay interest thereon (whether the proceeds, on the
termination of any interest payments, are payable in a lump sum or in
annual or more frequent installments), and such installment or interest
payments are payable annually or at more frequent intervals, commencing
not later than 13 months after the decedent's death, and all amounts, or
a specific portion of all such amounts, payable during the life of the
surviving spouse are payable only to such spouse, and such spouse has
the power to appoint all amounts, or such specific portion, payable
under such contract (exercisable in favor of such surviving spouse, or
of the estate of such surviving spouse, or in favor of either, whether
or not in each case the power is exercisable in favor of others), with
no power in any other person to appoint such amounts to any person other
than the surviving spouse--

(A) such amounts shall, for purposes of subsection (a), be considered
as passing to the surviving spouse, and

(B) no part of such amounts shall, for purposes of paragraph (1)(A),
be considered as passing to any person other than the surviving spouse.

This paragraph shall apply only if, under the terms of the contract,
such power in the surviving spouse to appoint such amounts, whether
exercisable by will or during life, is exercisable by such spouse alone
and in all events.

(7) Election with respect to life estate for surviving spouse.--

(A) In general.--In the case of qualified terminable interest
property--

(i) for purposes of subsection (a), such property shall be treated as
passing to the surviving spouse, and

be treated as passing to any person other than the surviving spouse.

(B) Qualified terminable interest property defined.--For purposes of
this paragraph--

(i) In general.--The term "qualified terminable interest property"
means property--

(I) which passes from the decedent,

(II) in which the surviving spouse has a qualifying income interest
for life, and

(III) to which an election under this paragraph applies.

(ii) Qualifying income interest for life.--The surviving spouse has a

§ 2514. Powers of appointment. (a) Powers created on or before October
21, 1942. An exercise of a general power of appointment created on or
before October 21, 1942, shall be deemed a transfer of property by the
individual possessing such power; but the failure to exercise such a
power or the complete release of such a power shall not be deemed an
exercise thereof. If a general power of appointment created on or before
October 21, 1942, has been partially released so that it is no longer a
general power of appointment, the subsequent exercise of such power
shall not be deemed to be the exercise of a general power of appointment
if-

(1) such partial release occurred before November 1, 1951, or

(2) the donee of such power was under a legal disability to release
such power on October 21, 1942, and such partial release occurred not
later than six months after the termination of such legal disability.

(b) Powers created after October 21, 1942. The exercise or release of
a general power of appointment created after October 21, 1942, shall be
deemed a transfer of property by the individual possessing such power.

(c) Definition of general power of appointment. For purposes of this
section, the term "general power of appointment" means a power which is
exercisable in favor of the individual possessing the power (hereafter
in this subsection referred to as the "possessor"), his estate, his
creditors, or the creditors of his estate; except that-

(1) A power to consume, invade, or appropriate property for the
benefit of the possessor which is limited by an ascertainable standard
relating to the health, education, support, or maintenance of the
possessor shall not be deemed a general power of appointment.

(2) A power of appointment created on or before October 21, 1942,
which is exercisable by the possessor only in conjunction with another
person shall not be deemed a general power of appointment.

(3) In the case of a power of appointment created after October 21,
1942, which is exercisable by the possessor only in conjunction with
another person-
--(A) if the power is not exercisable by the possessor except in
conjunction with the creator of the power-such power shall not be deemed
a general power of appointment;
--(B) if the power is not exercisable by the possessor except in
conjunction with a person having a substantial interest, in the property
subject to the power, which is adverse to exercise of the power in favor
of the possessor-such power shall not be deemed a general power of
appointment. For the purposes of this subparagraph a person who, after
the death of the possessor, may be possessed of a power of appointment
(with respect to the property subject to the possessor's power) which he
may exercise in his own favor shall be deemed as having an interest in
the property and such interest shall be deemed adverse to such exercise
of the possessor's power;
--(C) if (after the application of subparagraphs (A) and (B)) the power
is a general power of appointment and is exercisable in favor of such
other person-such power shall be deemed a general power of appointment
only in respect of a fractional part of the property subject to such
power, such part to be determined by dividing the value of such property
by the number of such persons (including the possessor) in favor of whom
such power is exercisable.
--For purposes of subparagraphs (B) and (C), a power shall be deemed to
be exercisable in favor of a person if it is exercisable in favor of
such person, his estate, his creditors, or the creditors of his estate.

(d) Creation of another power in certain cases. If a power of
appointment created after October 21, 1942, is exercised by creating
another power of appointment which, under the applicable local law, can
be validly exercised so as to postpone the vesting of any estate or
interest in the property which was subject to the first power, or
suspend the absolute ownership or power of alienation of such property,
for a period ascertainable without regard to the date of the creation of
the first power, such exercise of the first power shall, to the extent
of the property subject to the second power, be deemed a transfer of
property by the individual possessing such power.

(e) Lapse of power. The lapse of a power of appointment created after
October 21, 1942, during the life of the individual possessing the power
shall be considered a release of such power. The rule of the preceding
sentence shall apply with respect to the lapse of powers during any
calendar year only to the extent that the property which could have been
appointed by exercise of such lapsed powers exceeds in value the greater
of the following amounts:

(1) $5,000, or

(2) 5 percent of the aggregate value of the assets out of which, or
the proceeds of which, the exercise of the lapsed powers could be
satisfied.

(f) Date of creation of power. For purposes of this section a power of
appointment created by a will executed on or before October 21, 1942,
shall be considered a power created on or before such date if the person
executing such will dies before July 1, 1949, without having republished
such will, by codicil or otherwise, after October 21, 1942.

in property made pursuant to such agreement-

(1) to either spouse in settlement of his or her marital or property
rights, or

(2) to provide a reasonable allowance for the support of issue of the
marriage during minority,

--shall be deemed to be transfers made for a full and adequate
consideration in money or money's worth.

§ 2518. Disclaimers. (a) General Rule. - For purposes of this
subtitle, if a person makes a qualified disclaimer with respect to any
interest in property, this subtitle shall apply with respect to such
interest as if the interest had never been transferred to such person.

refusal by a person to accept an interest in property but only if -

4943(f)(5)(A)) which is not a functionally integrated type III
supporting organization (as defined in section 4943(f)(5)(B)), and
--(B) the taxpayer obtains a contemporaneous written acknowledgment
(determined under rules similar to the rules of section 170(f)(8)(C))
from the sponsoring organization (as so defined) of such donor advised
fund that such organization has exclusive legal control over the assets
contributed.

(d) Special rule for irrevocable transfers of easements in real
property. A deduction shall be allowed under subsection (a) in respect
of any transfer of a qualified real property interest (as defined in
section 170(h)(2)(C)) which meets the requirements of section 170(h)
(without regard to paragraph (4)(A) thereof).

(e) Special rules for fractional gifts

(1) Denial of deduction in certain cases

(A) In general
--No deduction shall be allowed for a contribution of an undivided
portion of a taxpayer's entire interest in tangible personal property
unless all interests in the property are held immediately before such
contribution by-
--(i) the taxpayer, or
--(ii) the taxpayer and the donee.

(B) Exceptions
--The Secretary may, by regulation, provide for exceptions to
subparagraph (A) in cases where all persons who hold an interest in the
property make proportional contributions of an undivided portion of the
entire interest held by such persons.

(2) Recapture of deduction in certain cases; addition to tax

(A) In general. The Secretary shall provide for the recapture of an
amount equal to any deduction allowed under this section (plus interest)
with respect to any contribution of an undivided portion of a taxpayer's
entire interest in tangible personal property-
--(i) in any case in which the donor does not contribute all of the
remaining interests in such property to the donee (or, if such donee is
no longer in existence, to any person described in section 170(c)) on or
before the earlier of-
--(I) the date that is 10 years after the date of the initial fractional
contribution, or
--(II) the date of the death of the donor, and
--(ii) in any case in which the donee has not, during the period
beginning on the date of the initial fractional contribution and ending
on the date described in clause (i)-
--(I) had substantial physical possession of the property, and
--(II) used the property in a use which is related to a purpose or
function constituting the basis for the organizations' exemption under
section 501.

(B) Addition to tax. The tax imposed under this chapter for any
taxable year for which there is a recapture under subparagraph (A) shall
be increased by 10 percent of the amount so recaptured.

(C) Initial fractional contribution. For purposes of this paragraph,
the term "initial fractional contribution" means, with respect to any
donor, the first gift of an undivided portion of the donor's entire
interest in any tangible personal property for which a deduction is
allowed under subsection (a) or (b).

(f) Cross references
--(1) For treatment of certain organizations providing child care, see
section 501(k).
--(2) For exemption of certain gifts to or for the benefit of the United
States and for rules of construction with respect to certain bequests,

governments (or their subdivisions), see section 7871.

§ 2523. Gift to spouse (a) Allowance of deduction. Where a donor
transfers during the calendar year by gift an interest in property to a
donee who at the time of the gift is the donor's spouse, there shall be
allowed as a deduction in computing taxable gifts for the calendar year
an amount with respect to such interest equal to its value.

(b) Life estate or other terminable interest. Where, on the lapse of
time, on the occurrence of an event or contingency, or on the failure of
an event or contingency to occur, such interest transferred to the
spouse will terminate or fail, no deduction shall be allowed with
respect to such interest-

(1) if the donor retains in himself, or transfers or has transferred
(for less than an adequate and full consideration in money or money's
worth) to any person other than such donee spouse (or the estate of such
spouse), an interest in such property, and if by reason of such
retention or transfer the donor (or his heirs or assigns) or such person
(or his heirs or assigns) may possess or enjoy any part of such property
after such termination or failure of the interest transferred to the
donee spouse; or

(2) if the donor immediately after the transfer to the donee spouse
has a power to appoint an interest in such property which he can
exercise (either alone or in conjunction with any person) in such manner
that the appointee may possess or enjoy any part of such property after
such termination or failure of the interest transferred to the donee
spouse. For purposes of this paragraph, the donor shall be considered
as having immediately after the transfer to the donee spouse such power
to appoint even though such power cannot be exercised until after the
lapse of time, upon the occurrence of an event or contingency, or on the
failure of an event or contingency to occur.

An exercise or release at any time by the donor, either alone or in
conjunction with any person, of a power to appoint an interest in
property, even though not otherwise a transfer, shall, for purposes of
paragraph (1), be considered as a transfer by him. Except as provided in
subsection (e), where at the time of the transfer it is impossible to
ascertain the particular person or persons who may receive from the
donor an interest in property so transferred by him, such interest
shall, for purposes of paragraph (1), be considered as transferred to a
person other than the donee spouse.

(c) Interest in unidentified assets. Where the assets out of which, or
the proceeds of which, the interest transferred to the donee spouse may
be satisfied include a particular asset or assets with respect to which
no deduction would be allowed if such asset or assets were transferred
from the donor to such spouse, then the value of the interest
transferred to such spouse shall, for purposes of subsection (a), be
reduced by the aggregate value of such particular assets.

(d) Joint interests. If the interest is transferred to the donee
spouse as sole joint tenant with the donor or as tenant by the entirety,
the interest of the donor in the property which exists solely by reason
of the possibility that the donor may survive the donee spouse, or that
there may occur a severance of the tenancy, shall not be considered for
purposes of subsection (b) as an interest retained by the donor in
himself.

(e) Life estate with power of appointment in donee spouse. Where the
donor transfers an interest in property, if by such transfer his spouse
is entitled for life to all of the income from the entire interest, or
all the income from a specific portion thereof, payable annually or at
more frequent intervals, with power in the donee spouse to appoint the
entire interest, or such specific portion (exercisable in favor of such
donee spouse, or of the estate of such donee spouse, or in favor of
either, whether or not in each case the power is exercisable in favor of
others), and with no power in any other person to appoint any part of
such interest, or such portion, to any person other than the donee
spouse-

(1) the interest, or such portion, so transferred shall, for purposes
of subsection (a) be considered as transferred to the donee spouse, and

(2) no part of the interest, or such portion, so transferred shall,
for purposes of subsection (b)(1), be considered as retained in the
donor or transferred to any person other than the donee spouse.

This subsection shall apply only if, by such transfer, such power in
the donee spouse to appoint the interest, or such portion, whether
exercisable by will or during life, is exercisable by such spouse alone
and in all events. For purposes of this subsection, the term "specific
portion" only includes a portion determined on a fractional or
percentage basis.

(f) Election with respect to life estate for donee spouse. (1) In
general

In the case of qualified terminable interest property-

(A) for purposes of subsection (a), such property shall be treated as
transferred to the donee spouse, and

(B) for purposes of subsection (b)(1), no part of such property shall
be considered as retained in the donor or transferred to any person
other than the donee spouse.

(2) Qualified terminable interest property. For purposes of this
subsection, the term "qualified terminable interest property" means any
property-

(A) which is transferred by the donor spouse,

(B) in which the donee spouse has a qualifying income interest for
life, and

(C) to which an election under this subsection applies.

(3) Certain rules made applicable. For purposes of this subsection,
rules similar to the rules of clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv) of section
2056(b)(7)(B) shall apply and the rules of section 2056(b)(10) shall
apply.

(4) Election. (A) Time and manner. An election under this subsection
with respect to any property shall be made on or before the date
prescribed by section 6075(b) for filing a gift tax return with respect
to the transfer (determined without regard to section 6019(2)) and shall
be made in such manner as the Secretary shall by regulations prescribe.

(B) Election irrevocable. An election under this subsection, once
made, shall be irrevocable.

(5) Treatment of interest retained by donor spouse. (A) In general. In
the case of any qualified terminable interest property-

(i) such property shall not be includible in the gross estate of the
donor spouse, and

(ii) any subsequent transfer by the donor spouse of an interest in
such property shall not be treated as a transfer for purposes of this
chapter.

(B) Subparagraph (A) not to apply after transfer by donee spouse.
Subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect to any property after the
donee spouse is treated as having transferred such property under
section 2519, or such property is includible in the donee spouse's gross
estate under section 2044.

(6) Treatment of joint and survivor annuities. In the case of a joint
and survivor annuity where only the donor spouse and donee spouse have
the right to receive payments before the death of the last spouse to
die-
--(A) the donee spouse's interest shall be treated as a qualifying
income interest for life,
--(B) the donor spouse shall be treated as having made an election under
this subsection with respect to such annuity unless the donor spouse
otherwise elects on or before the date specified in paragraph (4)(A),
--(C) paragraph (5) and section 2519 shall not apply to the donor
spouse's interest in the annuity, and
--(D) if the donee spouse dies before the donor spouse, no amount shall
be includible in the gross estate of the donee spouse under section 2044
with respect to such annuity.

An election under subparagraph (B), once made, shall be irrevocable.

(g) Special rule for charitable remainder trusts. (1) In general. If,
after the transfer, the donee spouse is the only noncharitable
beneficiary (other than the donor) of a qualified charitable remainder
trust, subsection (b) shall not apply to the interest in such trust
which is transferred to the donee spouse.

(2) Definitions. For purposes of paragraph (1), the term
"noncharitable beneficiary" and "qualified charitable remainder trust"
have the meanings given to such terms by section 2056(b)(8)(B).

(h) Denial of double deduction. Nothing in this section or any other
provision of this chapter shall allow the value of any interest in
property to be deducted under this chapter more than once with respect
to the same donor.

§ 2524. Extent of deductions. The deductions provided in sections 2522
and 2523 shall be allowed only to the extent that the gifts therein
specified are included in the amount of gifts against which such
deductions are applied.

§ 2701. Special valuation rules in case of transfers of certain
interests in corporations or partnerships. (a) Valuation rules. (1) In
general. Solely for purposes of determining whether a transfer of an
interest in a corporation or partnership to (or for the benefit of) a
member of the transferor's family is a gift (and the value of such
transfer), the value of any right-
--(A) which is described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of subsection
(b)(1), and
--(B) which is with respect to any applicable retained interest that is
held by the transferor or an applicable family member immediately after
the transfer,

apply to the transfer of any interest for which market quotations are
readily available (as of the date of transfer) on an established
securities market.

(2) Exceptions for marketable retained interests, etc. Paragraph (1)
shall not apply to any right with respect to an applicable retained
interest if-
--(A) market quotations are readily available (as of the date of the
transfer) for such interest on an established securities market,
--(B) such interest is of the same class as the transferred interest, or
--(C) such interest is proportionally the same as the transferred
interest, without regard to nonlapsing differences in voting power (or,
for a partnership, nonlapsing differences with respect to management and
limitations on liability).
--Subparagraph (C) shall not apply to any interest in a partnership if
the transferor or an applicable family member has the right to alter the
liability of the transferee of the transferred property. Except as
provided by the Secretary, any difference described in subparagraph (C)
which lapses by reason of any Federal or State law shall be treated as a
nonlapsing difference for purposes of such subparagraph.

(3) Valuation of rights to which paragraph (1) applies. (A) In
general. The value of any right described in paragraph (1), other than
a distribution right which consists of a right to receive a qualified
payment, shall be treated as being zero.

(B) Valuation of certain qualified payments. If-
--(i) any applicable retained interest confers a distribution right
which consists of the right to a qualified payment, and
--(ii) there are 1 or more liquidation, put, call, or conversion rights
with respect to such interest, the value of all such rights shall be
determined as if each liquidation, put, call, or conversion right were
exercised in the manner resulting in the lowest value being determined
for all such rights.

(C) Valuation of qualified payments where no liquidation, etc. rights.
In the case of an applicable retained interest which is described in
subparagraph (B)(i) but not subparagraph (B)(ii), the value of the
distribution right shall be determined without regard to this section.

(4) Minimum valuation of junior equity. (A) In general. In the case of
a transfer described in paragraph (1) of a junior equity interest in a
corporation or partnership, such interest shall in no event be valued at
an amount less than the value which would be determined if the total
value of all of the junior equity interests in the entity were equal to
10 percent of the sum of-
--(i) the total value of all of the equity interests in such entity,
plus
--(ii) the total amount of indebtedness of such entity to the transferor
(or an applicable family member).

(B) Definitions. For purposes of this paragraph-

(i) Junior equity interest. The term "junior equity interest" means
common stock or, in the case of a partnership, any partnership interest

entity, or
--(B) a liquidation, put, call, or conversion right.

(2) Control. For purposes of paragraph (1)-

(A) Corporations. In the case of a corporation, the term "control"

707(c) of a fixed amount.

(2) Liquidation, etc. rights. (A) In general. The term "liquidation,
put, call, or conversion right" means any liquidation, put, call, or

exercised at a specific time and at a specific amount.

(ii) Treatment of certain rights. If a right is assumed to be
exercised in a particular manner under subsection (a)(3)(B), such right
shall be treated as so exercised for purposes of clause (i).

(C) Exception for certain rights to convert. The term "liquidation,
put, call, or conversion right" does not include any right which-
--(i) is a right to convert into a fixed number (or a fixed percentage)
of shares of the same class of stock in a corporation as the transferred
stock in such corporation under subsection (a)(1) (or stock which would
be of the same class but for nonlapsing differences in voting power),

market interest rate.

(C) Elections. (i) In general. Payments under any interest held by a
transferor which (without regard to this subparagraph) are qualified
payments shall be treated as qualified payments unless the transferor
elects not to treat such payments as qualified payments. Payments
described in the preceding sentence which are held by an applicable
family member shall be treated as qualified payments only if such member
elects to treat such payments as qualified payments.

(ii) Election to have interest treated as qualified payment. A
transferor or applicable family member holding any distribution right
which (without regard to this subparagraph) is not a qualified payment
may elect to treat such right as a qualified payment, to be paid in the
amounts and at the times specified in such election. The preceding
sentence shall apply only to the extent that the amounts and times so
specified are not inconsistent with the underlying legal instrument
giving rise to such right.

(iii) Elections irrevocable. Any election under this subparagraph with
respect to an interest shall, once made, be irrevocable.

--(i) the value of the qualified payments payable during the period
beginning on the date of the transfer under subsection (a)(1) and ending
on the date of the taxable event determined as if-
--(I) all such payments were paid on the date payment was due, and

clause (i) on the basis of the time when such payments were actually
paid.

(B) Limitation on amount of increase. (i) In general. The amount of
the increase under subparagraph (A) shall not exceed the applicable
percentage of the excess (if any) of-

retained interest, over
--(II) the value of such interests (determined as of the date of the
transfer to which subsection (a)(1) applied).

(ii) Applicable percentage. For purposes of clause (i), the applicable
percentage is the percentage determined by dividing-
--(I) the number of shares in the corporation held (as of the date of
the taxable event) by the transferor which are applicable retained
interests of the same class, by

gross estate of the transferor if a deduction with respect to such
interest is allowable under section 2056 or 2106(a)(3).

shall not be treated as a taxable event under subparagraph (A)(ii) if

transferor, applicable family members, and members of the transferor's
family before and after the transaction are substantially identical.

(6) Adjustments. Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, if
there is any subsequent transfer, or inclusion in the gross estate, of
any applicable retained interest which was valued under the rules of

taxable gift made by the transferor or decedent by reason of such
valuation or to reflect the application of subsection (d).

(7) Treatment as separate interests. The Secretary may by regulation
provide that any applicable retained interest shall be treated as 2 or

annually), and

(3) any noncontingent remainder interest if all of the other interests
in the trust consist of interests described in paragraph (1) or (2).

(c) Certain property treated as held in trust. For purposes of this
section- (1) In general. The transfer of an interest in property with

transfer of an interest in a trust.

(2) Joint purchases. If 2 or more members of the same family acquire
interests in any property described in paragraph (1) in the same
transaction (or a series of related transactions), the person (or
persons) acquiring the term interests in such property shall be treated
as having acquired the entire property and then transferred to the other
persons the interests acquired by such other persons in the transaction

exchange for the consideration (if any) provided by such other persons
for the acquisition of their interests in such property.

(3) Term interest. The term "term interest" means-

(A) a life interest in property, or

(B) an interest in property for a term of years.

(4) Valuation rule for certain term interests. If the nonexercise of
rights under a term interest in tangible property would not have a
substantial effect on the valuation of the remainder interest in such
property-

(A) subparagraph (A) of subsection (a)(2) shall not apply to such term
interest, and

(B) the value of such term interest for purposes of applying
subsection (a)(1) shall be the amount which the holder of the term
interest establishes as the amount for which such interest could be sold
to an unrelated third party.

business, 10 full-time, nonowner employees substantially all of whose
services were directly related to such business, and $5,000,000 in gross
receipts from activities described in clause (ii).

business" means a trade or business of--

(I) making loans,

(II) purchasing or discounting accounts receivable, notes, or
installment obligations,

(III) engaging in rental and leasing of real and tangible personal
property, including entering into leases and purchasing, servicing, and
disposing of leases and leased assets,

with activities described in subclauses (I) through (IV) carried on by
the corporation rendering services or making facilities available, or
another corporation which is a member of the same affiliated group (as
defined in section 1504 without regard to section 1504(b)(3)).

(iii) Limitation.--The term "qualifying lending and finance business"
shall not include any interest in an entity, if the stock or debt of
such entity or a controlled group (as defined in section 267(f)(1)) of
which such entity was a member was readily tradable on an established
securities market or secondary market (as defined by the Secretary) at
any time within 3 years before the date of the decedent's death.

(c) Special rule for interest in 2 or more closely held
businesses.--For purposes of this section, interest in 2 or more closely
held businesses, with respect to each of which there is included in
determining the value of the decedent's gross estate 20 percent or more
of the total value of each such business, shall be treated as an
interest in a single closely held business. For purposes of the
20-percent requirement of the preceding sentence, an interest in a
closely held business which represents the surviving spouse's interest
in property held by the decedent and the surviving spouse as community
property or as joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, or tenants in
common shall be treated as having been included in determining the value

(d) Election.--Any election under subsection (a) shall be made not
later than the time prescribed by section 6075(a) for filing the return
of tax imposed by section 2001 (including extensions thereof), and shall
be made in such manner as the Secretary shall by regulations prescribe.
If an election under subsection (a) is made, the provisions of this
subtitle shall apply as though the Secretary were extending the time for
payment of the tax.

(e) Proration of deficiency to installments.--If an election is made
under subsection (a) to pay any part of the tax imposed by section 2001
in installments and a deficiency has been assessed, the deficiency shall
(subject to the limitation provided by subsection (a)(2)) be prorated to
the installments payable under subsection (a). The part of the
deficiency so prorated to any installment the date for payment of which
has not arrived shall be collected at the same time as, and as a part
of, such installment. The part of the deficiency so prorated to any
installment the date for payment of which has arrived shall be paid upon
notice and demand from the Secretary. This subsection shall not apply if
the deficiency is due to negligence, to intentional disregard of rules
and regulations, or to fraud with intent to evade tax.

(f) Time for payment of interest.--If the time for payment of any
amount of tax has been extended under this section--

(1) Interest for first 5 years.--Interest payable under section 6601
of any unpaid portion of such amount attributable to the first 5 years
after the date prescribed by section 6151(a) for payment of the tax
shall be paid annually.

(2) Interest for periods after first 5 years.--Interest payable under
section 6601 on any unpaid portion of such amount attributable to any
period after the 5-year period referred to in paragraph (1) shall be

payment of the tax.

(3) Interest in the case of certain deficiencies.--In the case of a
deficiency to which subsection (e) applies which is assessed after the
close of the 5-year period referred to in paragraph (1), interest
attributable to such 5-year period, and interest assigned under

arrived on or before the date of the assessment of the deficiency, shall
be paid upon notice and demand from the Secretary.

(4) Selection of shorter period.--If the executor has selected a
period shorter than 5 years under subsection (a)(3), such shorter period
shall be substituted for 5 years in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of this
subsection.

(g) Acceleration of payment.--

(1) Disposition of interest; withdrawal of funds from business.--

(A) If--

(i)(I) any portion of an interest in a closely held business which
qualifies under subsection (a)(1) is distributed, sold, exchanged, or
otherwise disposed of, or

(II) money and other property attributable to such an interest is
withdrawn from such trade or business, and

(ii) the aggregate of such distributions, sales, exchanges, or other
dispositions and withdrawals equals or exceeds 50 percent of the value
of such interest, then the extension of time for payment of tax provided
in subsection (a) shall cease to apply, and the unpaid portion of the
tax payable in installments shall be paid upon notice and demand from
the Secretary.

(B) In the case of a distribution in redemption of stock to which
section 303 (or so much of section 304 as relates to section 303)
applies--

(i) the redemption of such stock, and the withdrawal of money and
other property distributed in such redemption, shall not be treated as a
distribution or withdrawal for purposes of subparagraph (A), and

(ii) for purposes of subparagraph (A), the value of the interest in
the closely held business shall be considered to be such value reduced
by the value of the stock redeemed.

This subparagraph shall apply only if, on or before the date
prescribed by subsection (a)(3) for the payment of the first installment
which becomes due after the date of the distribution (or, if earlier, on
or before the day which is 1 year after the date of the distribution),
there is paid an amount of the tax imposed by section 2001 not less than
the amount of money and other property distributed.

(C) Subparagraph (A)(i) does not apply to an exchange of stock
pursuant to a plan of reorganization described in subparagraph (D), (E),
or (F) of section 368(a)(1) nor to an exchange to which section 355 (or
so much of section 356 as relates to section 355) applies; but any stock
received in such an exchange shall be treated for purposes of
subparagraph (A)(i) as an interest qualifying under subsection (a)(1).

(D) Subparagraph (A)(i) does not apply to a transfer of property of
the decedent to a person entitled by reason of the decedent's death to
receive such property under the decedent's will, the applicable law of
descent and distribution, or a trust created by the decedent. A similar
rule shall apply in the case of a series of subsequent transfers of the
property by reason of death so long as each transfer is to a member of
the family (within the meaning of section 267(c)(4)) of the transferor
in such transfer.

(E) Changes in interest in holding company.--If any stock in a holding
company is treated as stock in a business company by reason of
subsection (b)(8)(A)--

(i) any disposition of any interest in such stock in such holding
company which was included in determining the gross estate of the
decedent, or

(ii) any withdrawal of any money or other property from such holding
company attributable to any interest included in determining the gross
estate of the decedent,

shall be treated for purposes of subparagraph (A) as a disposition of
(or a withdrawal with respect to) the stock qualifying under subsection
(a)(1).

(F) Changes in interest in business company.--If any stock in a
holding company is treated as stock in a business company by reason of
subsection (b)(8)(A)--

(i) any disposition of any interest in such stock in the business
company by such holding company, or

(ii) any withdrawal of any money or other property from such business
company attributable to such stock by such holding company owning such
stock,

shall be treated for purposes of subparagraph (A) as a disposition of
(or a withdrawal with respect to) the stock qualifying under subsection
(a)(1).

(2) Undistributed income of estate.--

(A) If an election is made under this section and the estate has
undistributed net income for any taxable year ending on or after the due
date for the first installment, the executor shall, on or before the
date prescribed by law for filing the income tax return for such taxable
year (including extensions thereof), pay an amount equal to such
undistributed net income in liquidation of the unpaid portion of the tax
payable in installments.

(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the undistributed net income of
the estate for any taxable year is the amount by which the distributable
net income of the estate for such taxable year (as defined in section
643) exceeds the sum of--

(i) the amounts for such taxable year specified in paragraphs (1) and
(2) of section 661(a) (relating to deductions for distributions, etc.);

(ii) the amount of tax imposed for the taxable year on the estate
under chapter 1; and

(iii) the amount of the tax imposed by section 2001 (including
interest) paid by the executor during the taxable year (other than any
amount paid pursuant to this paragraph).

(C) For purposes of this paragraph, if any stock in a corporation is
treated as stock in another corporation by reason of subsection
(b)(8)(A), any dividends paid by such other corporation to the
corporation shall be treated as paid to the estate of the decedent to
the extent attributable to the stock qualifying under subsection (a)(1).

(3) Failure to make payment of principal or interest.--

(A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B), if any
payment of principal or interest under this section is not paid on or
before the date fixed for its payment by this section (including any
extension of time), the unpaid portion of the tax payable in
installments shall be paid upon notice and demand from the Secretary.

(B) Payment within 6 months.--If any payment of principal or interest
under this section is not paid on or before the date determined under
subparagraph (A) but is paid within 6 months of such date--

(i) the provisions of subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect to
such payment,

(ii) the provisions of section 6601(j) shall not apply with respect to
the determination of interest on such payment, and

(iii) there is imposed a penalty in an amount equal to the product
of--

(I) 5 percent of the amount of such payment, multiplied by

(II) the number of months (or fractions thereof) after such date and
before payment is made. The penalty imposed under clause (iii) shall be
treated in the same manner as a penalty imposed under subchapter B of
chapter 68.

(h) Election in case of certain deficiencies.--

(1) In general.--If--

(A) a deficiency in the tax imposed by section 2001 is assessed,

(B) the estate qualifies under subsection (a)(1), and

(C) the executor has not made an election under subsection (a), the
executor may elect to pay the deficiency in installments. This
subsection shall not apply if the deficiency is due to negligence, to
intentional disregard of rules and regulations, or to fraud with intent
to evade tax.

(2) Time of election.--An election under this subsection shall be made
not later than 60 days after issuance of notice and demand by the
Secretary for the payment of the deficiency, and shall be made in such
manner as the Secretary shall by regulations prescribe.

(3) Effect of election on payment.--If an election is made under this
subsection, the deficiency shall (subject to the limitation provided by
subsection (a)(2)) be prorated to the installments which would have been
due if an election had been timely made under subsection (a) at the time
the estate tax return was filed. The part of the deficiency so prorated
to any installment the date for payment of which would have arrived
shall be paid at the time of the making of the election under this
subsection. The portion of the deficiency so prorated to installments
the date for payment of which would not have so arrived shall be paid at
the time such installments would have been due if such an election had
been made.

(i) Special rule for certain direct skips.--To the extent that an
interest in a closely held business is the subject of a direct skip
(within the meaning of section 2612(c)) occurring at the same time as
and as a result of the decedent's death, then for purposes of this
section any tax imposed by section 2601 on the transfer of such interest
shall be treated as if it were additional tax imposed by section 2001.

(j) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as
may be necessary to the application of this section.
