   (1) In general.— Section 143 of the 1986 Code (relating to mortgage revenue bonds) is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection: “(m) Recapture of Portion of Federal Subsidy From Use of Qualified Mortgage Bonds and Mortgage Credit Certificates.— “(1) In general.— If, during the taxable year, any taxpayer disposes of an interest in a residence with respect to which there is or was any federally-subsidized indebtedness for the payment of which the taxpayer was liable in whole or part, then the taxpayer’s tax imposed by this chapter for such taxable year shall be increased by the recapture amount with respect to such indebtedness. “(2) Exceptions.— Paragraph (1) shall not apply to— “(A) any disposition by reason of death, and “(B) any disposition which is more than 10 years after the testing date. “(3) Federally-subsidized indebtedness.— For purposes of this subsection— “(A) In general.— The term ‘federally-subsidized indebtedness’ means any indebtedness if— “(i) financing for the indebtedness was provided in whole or part from the proceeds of any tax-exempt qualified mortgage bond, or “(ii) any credit was allowed under section 25 (relating to interest on certain home mortgages) to the taxpayer for interest paid or incurred on such indebtedness. “(B) Exception for home improvement loans.— Such term shall not include any indebtedness to the extent such indebtedness is federally-subsidized indebtedness solely by reason of being a qualified home improvement loan (as defined in subsection (k)(4)). “(4) Recapture amount.— For purposes of this subsection— “(A) In general.— The recapture amount with respect to any indebtedness is the amount equal to the product of— “(i) the federally-subsidized amount with respect to the indebtedness, and “(ii) the holding period percentage. “(B) Federally-subsidized amount.— The federally-subsidized amount with respect to any indebtedness is the amount equal to 6.25 percent of the highest principal amount of the indebtedness for which the taxpayer was liable. “(C) Holding period percentage.— “(i) Dispositions during 1st 5 years.— If the disposition of the taxpayer’s interest in the residence occurs during the 5-year period beginning on the testing date, the holding period percentage is the percentage determined by dividing the number of full months during which the requirements of subparagraph (D) were met by 60. “(ii) Dispositions during 2d 5 years.— If the disposition of the taxpayer’s interest in the residence occurs during the 5-year period following the 5-year period described in clause (i), the holding period percentage is the percentage determined by dividing— “(I) the excess of 120 over the number of full months during which such requirements were met by “(II) 60. “(iii) Retirements of indebtedness.— If the federally-subsidized indebtedness is completely repaid during any month of the 10-year period beginning on the testing date, the holding period percentage for succeeding months shall be determined by reducing ratably over the remainder of such period (or, if lesser, 5 years) the holding period percentage which would have been determined under this subparagraph had the taxpayer disposed of his interest in the residence on the date of the repayment. “(D) Testing date.— The term ‘testing date’ means the earliest date on which all of the following requirements are met; “(i) The indebtedness is federally-subsidized indebtedness. “(ii) The taxpayer is liable in whole or part for payment of the indebtedness. “(5) Reduction of recapture amount if taxpayer meets certain income limitations.— “(A) In general.— The recapture amount which would (but for this paragraph) apply with respect to any disposition during a taxable year shall be reduced (but not below zero) by 2 percent of such amount for each $100 by which adjusted qualifying income exceeds the modified adjusted gross income of the taxpayer for such year. “(B) Adjusted qualifying income.— For purposes of this paragraph, the term ‘adjusted qualifying income’ means the amount equal to the sum of— “(i) $5,000, plus “(ii) the product of— “(I) the highest family income which (as of the date the financing was provided) would have met the requirement of subsection (f) with respect to the residence, and “(II) the percentage equal to the sum of 100 percent plus 5 percent for each full year during the period beginning on such date and ending on the date of the disposition. For purposes of clause (ii)(I), highest family income shall be determined without regard to subsection (i)(3)(A) and on the basis of the number of members of the taxpayer’s family as of the date of the disposition. “(C) Modified adjusted gross income.— For purposes of this paragraph, the term ‘modified adjusted gross income’ means adjusted gross income— “(i) increased by the amount of interest received or accrued by the taxpayer during the taxable year which is excluded from gross income under section 103, and “(ii) decreased by the amount of gain (if any) included in gross income of the taxpayer by reason of the disposition to which this subsection applies. “(6) Limitation on recapture amount based on gain realized.— “(A) In general.— In no event shall the recapture amount of the taxpayer with respect to any indebtedness exceed 50 percent of the gain (if any) on the disposition of the taxpayer’s interest in the residence. For purposes of the preceding sentence, gain shall be taken into account whether or not recognized, and the adjusted basis of the taxpayer’s interest in the residence shall be determined without regard to sections 1033(b) and 1034(e) for purposes of determining gain. “(B) Dispositions other than sales, exchanges, and involuntary conversions.— In the case of a disposition other than a sale, exchange, or involuntary conversion, gain shall be determined as if the interest had been sold for its fair market value. “(C) Involuntary conversions resulting from casualties.— In the case of property which (as a result of its destruction in whole or in part by fire, storm, or other casualty) is compulsorily or involuntarily converted, paragraph (1) shall not apply to such conversion if the taxpayer purchases (during the period specified in section 1033(a)(2)(B)) property for use as his principal residence on the site of the converted property. For purposes of subparagraph (A), the adjusted basis of the taxpayer in the residence shall not be adjusted for any gain or loss on a conversion to which this subparagraph applies. “(7) Issuer to inform mortgagor of federally-subsidized amount and family income limits.— The issuer of the issue which provided the federally-subsidized indebtedness to the mortgagor shall— “(A) at the time of settlement, provide a written statement informing the mortgagor of the potential recapture under this subsection, and “(B) not later than 90 days after the date such indebtedness is provided, provide a written statement to the mortgagor specifying— “(i) the federally-subsidized amount with respect to such indebtedness, and “(ii) the amounts described in paragraph (5)(B)(ii) for each category of family size for each year of the 10-year period beginning on the date the financing was provided. “(8) Special rules.— “(A) No basis adjustment.— No adjustment shall be made to the basis of any property for the increase in tax under this subsection. “(B) Special rule where 2 or more persons hold interests in residence.— Except as provided in subparagraph (C) and in regulations prescribed by the Secretary, if 2 or more persons hold interests in any residence and are jointly liable for the federally-subsidized indebtedness, the recapture amount shall be determined separately with respect to their respective interests in the residence. “(C) Transfers to spouses and former spouses.— Paragraph (1) shall not apply to any transfer on which no gain or loss is recognized under section 1041. In any such case, the transferee shall be treated under this subsection in the same manner as the transferor would have been treated had such transfer not occurred. “(D) Regulations.— The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out this subsection, including regulations dealing with dispositions of partial interests in a residence.”

For purposes of the preceding sentence, gain shall be taken into account whether or not recognized, and the adjusted basis of the taxpayer’s interest in the residence shall be determined without regard to sections 1033(b) and 1034(e) for purposes of determining gain. “(B) Dispositions other than sales, exchanges, and involuntary conversions.— In the case of a disposition other than a sale, exchange, or involuntary conversion, gain shall be determined as if the interest had been sold for its fair market value. “(C) Involuntary conversions resulting from casualties.— In the case of property which (as a result of its destruction in whole or in part by fire, storm, or other casualty) is compulsorily or involuntarily converted, paragraph (1) shall not apply to such conversion if the taxpayer purchases (during the period specified in section 1033(a)(2)(B)) property for use as his principal residence on the site of the converted property. For purposes of subparagraph (A), the adjusted basis of the taxpayer in the residence shall not be adjusted for any gain or loss on a conversion to which this subparagraph applies. “(7) Issuer to inform mortgagor of federally-subsidized amount and family income limits.— The issuer of the issue which provided the federally-subsidized indebtedness to the mortgagor shall— “(A) at the time of settlement, provide a written statement informing the mortgagor of the potential recapture under this subsection, and “(B) not later than 90 days after the date such indebtedness is provided, provide a written statement to the mortgagor specifying— “(i) the federally-subsidized amount with respect to such indebtedness, and “(ii) the amounts described in paragraph (5)(B)(ii) for each category of family size for each year of the 10-year period beginning on the date the financing was provided. “(8) Special rules.— “(A) No basis adjustment.— No adjustment shall be made to the basis of any property for the increase in tax under this subsection. “(B) Special rule where 2 or more persons hold interests in residence.— Except as provided in subparagraph (C) and in regulations prescribed by the Secretary, if 2 or more persons hold interests in any residence and are jointly liable for the federally-subsidized indebtedness, the recapture amount shall be determined separately with respect to their respective interests in the residence. “(C) Transfers to spouses and former spouses.— Paragraph (1) shall not apply to any transfer on which no gain or loss is recognized under section 1041. In any such case, the transferee shall be treated under this subsection in the same manner as the transferor would have been treated had such transfer not occurred. “(D) Regulations.— The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out this subsection, including regulations dealing with dispositions of partial interests in a residence.”
