(D) Inflation adjustment In the case of any taxable year beginning in a calendar year after 2006, the dollar amounts in subclauses (I) and (II) of subparagraph (B)(ii) shall each be increased by an amount equal to— (i) such dollar amount, multiplied by (ii) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins, determined by substituting "calendar year 2005" for "calendar year 2016" in subparagraph (A)(ii) thereof. Any increase determined under the preceding sentence shall be rounded to the nearest multiple of $1,000. (E) Special rule for certain transfers from qualified tuition programs The amount determined under subparagraph (A) shall be increased by the lesser of— (i) the amount of contributions described in section 529(c)(3)(E) for the taxable year, or (ii) the amount of the reduction determined under such subparagraph (determined without regard to this subparagraph).

(II) Special rule for surviving spouse If the spouse of the individual described in subclause (I) acquires the individual's entire interest in any Roth IRA to which such qualified rollover contribution is properly allocable, the spouse may elect to treat the remaining amounts described in subclause (I) as includible in the spouse's gross income in the taxable years of the spouse ending with or within the taxable years of such individual in which such amounts would otherwise have been includible. Any such election may not be made or changed after the due date for the spouse's taxable year which includes the date of death. (F) Special rule for applying section 72 (i) In general If— (I) any portion of a distribution from a Roth IRA is properly allocable to a qualified rollover contribution described in this paragraph; and (II) such distribution is made within the 5-taxable year period beginning with the taxable year in which such contribution was made, then section 72(t) shall be applied as if such portion were includible in gross income. (ii) Limitation Clause (i) shall apply only to the extent of the amount of the qualified rollover contribution includible in gross income under subparagraph (A)(i). (4) Aggregation and ordering rules (A) Aggregation rules Section 408(d)(2) shall be applied separately with respect to Roth IRAs and other individual retirement plans. (B) Ordering rules For purposes of applying this section and section 72 to any distribution from a Roth IRA, such distribution shall be treated as made— (i) from contributions to the extent that the amount of such distribution, when added to all previous distributions from the Roth IRA, does not exceed the aggregate contributions to the Roth IRA; and (ii) from such contributions in the following order: (I) Contributions other than qualified rollover contributions to which paragraph (3) applies.

(B) Special rules (i) Transfer of earnings Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the transfer of any contribution unless such transfer is accompanied by any net income allocable to such contribution. (ii) No deduction Subparagraph (A) shall apply to the transfer of any contribution only to the extent no deduction was allowed with respect to the contribution to the transferor plan.

For purposes of section 408(d)(3)(B), there shall be disregarded any qualified rollover contribution from an individual retirement plan (other than a Roth IRA) to a Roth IRA. The earnings and contributions of any qualified tuition program from which a qualified rollover contribution is made under subparagraph (C) shall be treated in the same manner as the earnings and contributions of a Roth IRA from which a qualified rollover contribution is made under subparagraph (A). (2) Military death gratuity (A) In general The term "qualified rollover contribution" includes a contribution to a Roth IRA maintained for the benefit of an individual made before the end of the 1-year period beginning on the date on which such individual receives an amount under section 1477 of title 10, United States Code, or section 1967 of title 38 of such Code, with respect to a person, to the extent that such contribution does not exceed— (i) the sum of the amounts received during such period by such individual under such sections with respect to such person, reduced by (ii) the amounts so received which were contributed to a Coverdell education savings account under section 530(d)(9).
