Amendments
1997—Subsec. (e).
Pub. L. 105–34 amended heading and text of subsec. (e) generally. Prior to amendment, text read as follows: “If—
“(1) subsection (a) applies to a reacquisition of real property with respect to the sale of which—
“(A) an election under section
121 (relating to one-time exclusion of gain from sale of principal residence by individual who has attained age 55) is in effect, or
“(B) gain was not recognized under section
1034 (relating to rollover of gain on sale of principal residence); and
“(2) within one year after the date of the reacquisition of such property by the seller, such property is resold by him,
then, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section shall not apply to the reacquisition of such property and, for purposes of applying sections
121 and
1034, the resale of such property shall be treated as a part of the transaction constituting the original sale of such property.”
1996—Subsec. (f).
Pub. L. 104–188 struck out subsec. (f) which read as follows:
“(f) Reacquisitions by Domestic Building and Loan Associations.—This section shall not apply to a reacquisition of real property by an organization described in section
593
(a) (relating to domestic building and loan associations, etc.).”
1980—Subsec. (g).
Pub. L. 96–471 added subsec. (g).
1978—Subsec. (e)(1)(A).
Pub. L. 95–600, § 404(c)(6), substituted “relating to one-time exclusion of gain from sale of principal residence by individual who has attained age 55” for “relating to gain from sale or exchange of residence of an individual who has attained age 65”.
Subsec. (e)(1)(B).
Pub. L. 95–600, § 405(c)(3), which directed the amendment of section
1083
(e)(1)(B) of this title by substituting “(relating to rollover of gain on sale of principal residence)” for “(relating to sale or exchange of residence)”, was executed to this section to reflect the probable intent of Congress because section
1083 does not contain a subsec. (e)(1)(B).
1976—Subsec. (e).
Pub. L. 94–455 struck out “or his delegate” after “Secretary”.
