                        calendar year in which the taxable year begins, 
                        determined by substituting `calendar year 2009' 
                        for `calendar year 1992' in subparagraph (B) 
                        thereof.
                    ``(B) Rounding.--If any amount as adjusted under 
                subparagraph (A) is not a multiple of $500, such amount 
                shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of 
                $500.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply 
to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2009.
