An election by a taxpayer pursuant to subparagraph (B) shall be considered as a consent to the assessment pursuant to this subparagraph of any such deficiency. I f refund or credit of any overpayment of income tax resulting from an election made pursuant to subparagraph (B) is prevented on such day, or at any time within one year after such day, by the operation of any law or rule of law, refund or credit of such overpayment may, nevertheless, be made or allowed if claim therefor is filed within one year after such day. This subparagraph shall not apply to any taxable year in respect of which an assessment of a deficiency, or a refund or credit of an overpayment, as the case may be, is prevented by the operation of any law or rule of law on the date of the enactment of the Technical Amendments Act of 1958.

A recomputation of the tax imposed by this chapter (or by the corresponding provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1939) shall also be made for taxable years affected by the recomputation described in the preceding
