        establishes that the annualized income installment is less than

          section 936(h) or 951(a) (and credits properly allocable
          thereto) shall be taken into account in computing any
          annualized income installment under subparagraph (B) in a
          manner similar to the manner under which partnership income
          inclusions (and credits properly allocable thereto) are taken
          into account.

      allowable under section 31, is less than $1,000.
      (2) Where no tax liability for preceding taxable year

        respect to any underpayment to the extent the Secretary
        determines that by reason of casualty, disaster, or other
        unusual circumstances the imposition of such addition to tax
        would be against equity and good conscience.
        (B) Newly retired or disabled individuals
          No addition to tax shall be imposed under subsection (a) with
        respect to any underpayment if the Secretary determines that -

              (II) became disabled,

          to be made or in the taxable year preceding such taxable
          year, and
            (ii) such underpayment was due to reasonable cause and not
          to willful neglect.
    (f) Tax computed after application of credits against tax
      For purposes of this section, the term ''tax'' means -

        (2) the tax imposed by chapter 2, minus
        (3) the credits against tax provided by part IV of subchapter A
      of chapter 1, other than the credit against tax provided by
      section 31 (relating to tax withheld on wages).
    (g) Application of section in case of tax withheld on wages
      (1) In general
        For purposes of applying this section, the amount of the credit
      allowed under section 31 for the taxable year shall be deemed a
      payment of estimated tax, and an equal part of such amount shall
      be deemed paid on each due date for such taxable year, unless the
      taxpayer establishes the dates on which all amounts were actually
      withheld, in which case the amounts so withheld shall be deemed
      payments of estimated tax on the dates on which such amounts were
      actually withheld.
      (2) Separate application
        The taxpayer may apply paragraph (1) separately with respect to
      -

          (B) all other amounts withheld for which credit is allowed
        under section 31.
