Poj(,p.496.
°"" " '"° " ( n ) G A I N FROM SALE OR EXCHANGE OF RESIDENCE.—
"(1) NONRECOGNITION OF GAIN.—^If property (hereinafter in
this subsection called 'old residence') used by the taxpayer as
his principal residence is sold by him and, within a period
beginning one year prior to the date of such sale and ending one
year after such date, property (hereinafter in this subsection
called 'new residence') is purchased and used by the taxpayer as
his principal residence, gain (if any) from such sale shall be
recognized only to the extent that the taxpayer's selling price
of the old residence exceeds the taxpayer's cost of purchasing
the new residence.
" (2) RULES FOR APPLICATION OF SUBSECTION.—For the purposes
of this subsection:
" ( A ) A n exchange by the taxpayer of his residence for
other property shall be considered as a sale of such residence,

property shall be considered as a purchase of such residence.
" ( B ) I f the taxpayer's residence (as a result of its destruc-
tion in whole or in part, theft, or seizure) is compulsorily
or involuntarily converted into property or into money, such
destruction, theft, or seizure shall be considered as a sale of
the residence; and if the residence is so converted into prop-
erty which is used by the taxpayer as his residence, such
conversion shall be considered as a purchase of such property
by the taxpayer.
" ( C ) I n the case of an exchange or conversion described in

- :• .^-- cost of purchasing the new residence, the amount realized
, by the taxpayer upon such exchange or conversion shall be
considered the selling price of the old residence.

reconstructed by the taxpayer shall be considered as pur-
chased by the taxpayer. I n determining the taxpayer's cost
of purchasing a residence, there shall b e included only so
much of his cost as is attributable to the acquisition, con-
struction, reconstruction, and improvements made which are
properly chargeable to capital account, during the period
specified in paragraph (1). ^^
65 STAT.] PUBLIC LAW 183—OCT. 20, 1951 495
" ( E ) I f a residence is purchased by the taxpayer prior to
the date of his sale of the old residence, the purchased resi-
dence shall not be treated as his new residence if sold or other-
wise disposed of by him prior to the date of the sale of the
old residence.
" ( F ) I f the taxpayer, during the period described in para-
raph (1), purchases more than one residence which is used Ante.p.iOi.
f
y him as his principal residence at some time within one year
after the date of the sale of the old residence, only the last of

sitioned, or condemned, or is sold or exchanged under threat
or imminence thereof, then for the purposes of the preceding

tion of one year after the date of the sale of the old residence,

be applicable with respect to the sale of the taxpayer's residence
if within one year prior to the date of such sale the taxpayer sold

visions of paragraph (1). For the purposes of this paragraph, the
destruction, theft, seizure, requisition, or condemnation of prop-
erty or the sale or exchange of property under threat or imminence
thereof, shall not be considered as a sale of such property.
" ( 4 ) BASIS OF NEW RESIDENCE.—^Where the purchase of a new
residence results, under paragraph (1), in the nonrecognition of
gain upon the sale of an old residence, in determining the adjusted
basis of the new residence as of any time following the sale of the
old residence, the adjustments to basis shall include a reduction
by an amount equal to the amount of the gain not so recognized

payer's selling price of the old residence' shall mean the sell-
ing price (of the taxpayer, or of the taxpayer and his spouse)
of the old residence, and the words 'taxpayer's cost of purchas-
ing the new residence' shall mean the cost (to the taxpayer,
his spouse, or both) of purchasing the new residence (whether

residence within the period specified in paragraph (1), or
"(iii) a failure to make such purchase within such

such money and the fair market value of such property,
determined as of the date of the recovery.
" ( B ) Amount of Gain Includible.—To the extent that the
amount of the recovery plus the aggregate of the amounts of
previous such recoveries do not exceed that part of the aggre-
gate of the allowable deductions in prior taxable years on
account of the destruction or seizure of property described
in subsection (a) which did not result in a reduction of any
53 Stat. 104. tax of the taxpayer under this chapter or chapter 2, such
^26 u. s. .5 a amount shall not be includible in gross income and shall not
be deemed gain upon the involuntary conversion of property
as a result of its destruction or seizure. To the extent that
such amount plus the aggregate of the amounts of previous
such recoveries exceed that part of the aggregate of such
deductions, which did not result in a reduction of any tax
of the taxpayer under this chapter or chapter 2 and do not

section (a) as destroyed or seized. The amount of the recovery
determined under this subparagraph shall be reduced for
the purposes of subparagraphs (B) and (C) by the amount

sidered under subsection (a) as destroyed or seized, which is
not in excess of the allowable deductions in prior taxable years
on account of such destruction or seizure of the property (the
amount of such allowable deductions being first reduced by
the aggregate amount of any prior recoveries in respect of the
same property) shall be excluded from gross income for the
taxable year of the recovery for the purpose of computing
the tax under this chapter and chapter 2; but there shall be
added to, and assessed and collected as a part of, the tax under
this chapter for the taxable year of the recovery the total
increase in the tax under this chapter and chapter 2 for all
taxable years which would result by decreasing, in an amount
equal to such part of the recovery so excluded, such deduc-
tions allowable in the prior taxable years with respect to the
destruction or seizure of the property. Such increase in the
tax for each such year so resulting shall be computed in
accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary.
Such regulations shall give effect to previous recoveries of
any kind (including recoveries described in section 22 (b)

tions in prior taxable years on account of the destruction or
seizure of property described in subsection ( a ) , and increased by
that portion of the amount of the recovery which under subsec-
tion (c) is treated as a recognized gain from the involuntary ^nu.p.sn.

of any properties recovered in respect of properties considered
under subsection (a) as destroyed or seized may be allocated
among the properties so recovered in such manner as the Secre-
tary may determine under regulations prescribed by him, and

be the unadjusted basis of such property in lieu of the unadjusted
basis of such property determined under the preceding sentence.
