amount as -
(i) the excess of -
(I) the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for such taxable
year, over

(ii) $15,000 ($10,000 in the case of a joint return or a

The rules of subparagraphs (B) and (C) of section 219(g)(2)

determined under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar
year in which the taxable year begins, determined
by substituting `calendar year 2005' for `calendar
year 1992' in subparagraph (B) thereof.
Any increase determined under the preceding sentence

The amount required to be included

all preceding taxable years.

(I) In general
If the individual required to include amounts in gross
income under such subparagraph dies before all of such
amounts are included, all remaining amounts shall be
included in gross income for the taxable year which
includes the date of death.
(II) Special rule for surviving spouse
If the spouse of the individual described in subclause
(I) acquires the individual's entire interest in any Roth
IRA to which such qualified rollover contribution is
properly allocable, the spouse may elect to treat the
remaining amounts described in subclause (I) as includible
in the spouse's gross income in the taxable years of the
spouse ending with or within the taxable years of such
individual in which such amounts would otherwise have been
includible. Any such election may not be made or changed
after the due date for the spouse's taxable year which
includes the date of death.
(F) Special rule for applying section 72
(i) In general
If -
(I) any portion of a distribution from a Roth IRA is
properly allocable to a qualified rollover contribution
described in this paragraph; and
(II) such distribution is made within the 5-taxable year
period beginning with the taxable year in which such
contribution was made,
then section 72(t) shall be applied as if such portion were
includible in gross income.

the qualified rollover contribution includible in gross
income under subparagraph (A)(i).

(A) Aggregation rules
Section 408(d)(2) shall be applied separately with respect to
Roth IRAs and other individual retirement plans.
(B) Ordering rules
For purposes of applying this section and section 72 to any
distribution from a Roth IRA, such distribution shall be
treated as made -
(i) from contributions to the extent that the amount of
such distribution, when added to all previous distributions
from the Roth IRA, does not exceed the aggregate
contributions to the Roth IRA; and
(ii) from such contributions in the following order:
(I) Contributions other than qualified rollover
contributions to which paragraph (3) applies.
(II) Qualified rollover contributions to which paragraph
(3) applies on a first-in, first-out basis.
Any distribution allocated to a qualified rollover contribution
under clause (ii)(II) shall be allocated first to the portion
of such contribution required to be included in gross income.

purpose distribution'' means any distribution to which
subparagraph (F) of section 72(t)(2) applies.

Except as provided by the Secretary, if, on or before the due
date for any taxable year, a taxpayer transfers in a
trustee-to-trustee transfer any contribution to an individual
retirement plan made during such taxable year from such plan to
any other individual retirement plan, then, for purposes of
this chapter, such contribution shall be treated as having been
made to the transferee plan (and not the transferor plan).
(B) Special rules
(i) Transfer of earnings
Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to the transfer of any
contribution unless such transfer is accompanied by any net
income allocable to such contribution.
(ii) No deduction
Subparagraph (A) shall apply to the transfer of any
contribution only to the extent no deduction was allowed with
respect to the contribution to the transferor plan.
(7) Due date
For purposes of this subsection, the due date for any taxable
year is the date prescribed by law (including extensions of time)
for filing the taxpayer's return for such taxable year.
(e) Qualified Rollover Contribution.--For purposes of this
section, the term `qualified rollover contribution' means a rollover
contribution--
(1) to a Roth IRA from another such account,
(2) from an eligible retirement plan, but only if--
(A) in the case of an individual retirement plan,
such rollover contribution meets the requirements of
section 408(d)(3), and
(B) in the case of any eligible retirement plan
(as defined in section 402(c)(8)(B) other than clauses
(i) and (ii) thereof), such rollover contribution meets
the requirements of section 402(c), 403(b)(8), or
457(e)(16), as applicable.
For purposes of section 408(d)(3)(B), there shall be disregarded any
