(C) Increase in deemed tax amount by tax on net investment income If gain from a transfer to which this section applies for any taxable year is of a type taken into account in computing net investment income (as defined in section 1411), the deemed tax amount under this paragraph for any preceding taxable year to which such gain is allocated under subparagraph (A)(i) shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of such allocated gain multiplied by the rate of tax in effect under section 1411(a)(1) for the taxable year of such transfer. (3) Computation of interest (A) In general The amount of interest referred to in paragraph (1) on any deemed tax amount determined under paragraph (2) for any preceding taxable year shall be determined for the period— (i) beginning on the due date for such preceding taxable year, and (ii) ending on the date on which the applicable transfer occurs, by using the rates determined under section 6621(b) (plus 1 percentage point), and the method applicable under section 6621, for underpayments of tax for such period. (B) Due date For purposes of this paragraph, the term due date means, with respect to any preceding taxable year, the date prescribed by law (determined without regard to extensions) for filing the return of the tax imposed by this chapter for such taxable year. (c) Special rule for taxpayers with net capital losses (1) In general If a taxpayer has a net capital loss for any taxable year for which there is an increase in tax under subsection (a)(2), such increase in tax shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the credit equivalent of such net capital loss. (2) Credit equivalent For purposes of this subsection, the term credit equivalent means, with respect to any net capital loss for any taxable year, an amount equal to such loss multiplied by the rate of tax in effect under section 1(h)(1)(D) for such taxable year.

(C) Special rules for deferral recapture amount (i) Holding period Except as prescribed by the Secretary, if an applicable taxpayer takes into account gain under subparagraph (A) for any taxable year from an applicable transfer by such applicable entity of a nontradable covered asset, the taxpayer's holding period with respect to such asset for purposes of computing the deferral recapture amount under section 492 shall be the shorter of— (I) the entity's holding period in such asset, or (II) the taxpayer's holding period in such entity. (ii) Other rules The Secretary shall prescribe rules for purposes of this section— (I) for the treatment of fragmented holding periods, (II) for the determination of holding periods in the case of tiered structures, and (III) to prevent the shifting of any deferral recapture amount between taxpayers holding ownership interests in an applicable entity.
