(b)For the treatment of partially tax-exempt interest in the case of amounts not allocable to any beneficiary of an estate or trust, see section 642(a)(1), and for treatment of amounts allocable to a beneficiary, see sections 652 and 662. For treatment of partially tax-exempt interest received by a partnership, see section 702(a)(7). For treatment of such interest received by a common trust fund, see section 584(c)(2).
(c)The application of section 35 may be illustrated by the following example: Example.In his taxable year, 1955, A received $4,500 of partially tax-exempt interest. A's taxable income is $4,000 upon which the tax prior to any credits against tax is $840. His foreign tax credit under section 33 is $610, and his dividends received credit under section 34 is $120. A's credit under section 35 for partially tax-exempt interest is $110, determined as follows: Section 35(a) Partially tax-exempt interest$4,500 Credit computed under section 35(a); 3 percent of $4,500135 Section 35(b)(1) Tax imposed by chapter 1840 Less: Credit allowed under section 33$610 Credit allowed under section 34120 ____$730 Limitation on credit under section 35(b)(1)110 Section 35(b)(2) Taxable income4,000 Limitation on credit under section 35(b)(2); 3 percent of $4,000120 Since of the three figures ($135, $110, and $120), the lesser is $110, A's credit under section 35 is limited to $110.
