Editorial Notes Codification Section was formerly classified to section 65c of this title prior to editorial reclassification and renumbering as this section. Amendments 2003 —Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 108–83 substituted "$6,000" for "$3,000". 1986 —Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 99–514 substituted "Internal Revenue Code of 1986" for "Internal Revenue Code of 1954", which for purposes of codification was translated as "title 26" thus requiring no change in text. 1983 —Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 98–63, which directed that "$3,000" be substituted for "$2,000" in first sentence of subsec. (a), was executed by making the substitution in second sentence as the probable intent of Congress. Statutory Notes and Related Subsidiaries Effective Date of 2003 Amendment Pub.
