77TH CONG., 2D SESS.-CH. 619-OCT. 21, 1942 ber 31, 1933, and before January 1, 1943, the tax for such taxable period shall be computed as if provisions corresponding to the pro- visions of sections 42 (a) and 43 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by subsections (a) and (b) of this section, were a part of the Revenue Act of 1934, the Revenue Act of 1936, the Revenue Act of 1938, or the Internal Revenue Code, whichever is applicable to such taxable period. In the case of the estate of such a decedent and of each person who acquires by reason of the death of such decedent or by bequest, devise, or inheritance from such decedent the right to receive the amount of items of gross income of the decedent which upon the application of the preceding sentence are not prop- erly includible in respect of the taxable period in which falls the date of the decedent's death or a prior period, the tax for each taxable period ending on or after the date on which the decedent died shall be computed by including in gross income the amounts with respect to such decedent which would be includible, and by allowing as deduc- tions and credits the amounts with respect to such decedent which would be allowable, if provisions corresponding to the provisions of the section inserted in the Internal Revenue Code by subsection (e) of this section were a part of the law applicable to such taxable period. The provisions of this subsection shall not be applicable unless there are filed with the Commissioner (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Commissioner with the approval of the Secretary, and at the time prescribed by such regulations) signed consents made under oath by the fiduciary representing the estate and by each such person (or if any such person is no longer in exist- ence or is under disability, by his legal representative) that with respect to such amounts the tax of the estate, or the tax of such person, as the case may be, shall be computed under the provisions of this subsection for each taxable period ending on or after the date of the death of the decedent and the tax of the decedent shall be com- puted under such provisions for the taxable period of the decedent in which falls the date of his death. If such consent is filed after the time for the filing of the return with respect to any such taxable period, the deficiency resulting from the failure to compute the tax for such taxable period in accordance with such consent shall be paid on the date of the filing of the consent with the Commissioner, or on the date prescribed for the payment of the tax for the taxable period, whichever is later, and the period of limitations provided in sections 275 and 276 of the Internal Revenue Code or a corresponding pro- vision of a prior revenue law on the making of assessments and the beginning of distraint or a proceeding in court for collection shall with respect to such deficiency include one year immediately after the date the consent was filed, and such assessment and collection may be made notwithstanding any provision of the internal revenue laws or any rule of law which would otherwise prevent such assess- ment and collection. The period within which claim for credit or refund may be filed, or credit or refund allowed or made if no claim is filed, with respect to any overpayment resulting from the failure to compute the tax for any such taxable period (except the taxable period of the decedent in which falls the date of his death) in accord- ance with such consent shall include one year immediately after the date of the filing of the consent, and credit or refund may be allowed or made notwithstanding any provision of the internal revenue laws or any rule of law which would otherwise prevent such credit or refund, but no interest shall be allowed or paid with respect to any such overpayment.
