(ii) the value of the plan’s assets determined under section 431(c)(2).
(2) Employees’ annuities
A defined contribution plan which is a pension plan shall not be treated as failing to provide definitely determinable benefits merely by limiting employer contributions to amounts deductible under this section. In the case of a defined benefit plan which is a single employer plan, the amount necessary to satisfy the minimum funding standard provided by section 412 shall not be less than the excess (if any) of the plan’s funding target (as defined in section 430(d)(1)) over the value of the plan’s assets (as determined under section 430(g)(3)).
(A) the term “employee” includes an individual who is an employee within the meaning of section 401(c)(1), and the employer of such individual is the person treated as his employer under section 401(c)(4);
(B) the term “earned income” has the meaning assigned to it by section 401(c)(2);
For purposes of paragraphs (3), (7), (8), and (9) and subsection (h)(1)(C), the term “compensation” shall include amounts treated as “participant’s compensation” under subparagraph (C) or (D) of section 415(c)(3).
such contributions shall not be deductible under this section nor be made nondeductible by this section, but the deductibility thereof shall be governed solely by section 162 (relating to trade or business expenses). For purposes of this chapter and subtitle B, in the case of any individual who before July 1, 1974, was a participant in a plan described in the preceding sentence—
[(f) Repealed. Pub. L. 98–369, div. A, title VII, §713(b)(3), July 18, 1984, 98 Stat. 957]

[(i) Repealed. Pub. L. 99– 4, title XI, §1171(b)(6), Oct. 22, 1986, 100 Stat. 2 3]
(iii) is, at the election of such participants or their beneficiaries—
(ii) the amount by which the funding target for the plan year would increase if the plan were to take into account—
In making the computation under subparagraph (A)(ii), the plan’s actuary shall assume that the limitations under subsection (l) and section 415(b) shall apply.
In the case of a plan year during which a plan is covered under section 4021 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the plan’s actuary may, notwithstanding subsection (l), take into account increases in the limitations which are expected to occur in succeeding plan years.
For purposes of determining the number of plan participants, all defined benefit plans maintained by the same employer (or any member of such employer’s controlled group (within the meaning of section 412(d)(3)) shall be treated as one plan, but only participants of such member or employer shall be taken into account.
Any computation under this subsection for any plan year shall use the same actuarial assumptions which are used for the plan year under section 430.
