    deduction).
    (b) Individuals who do not itemize their deductions
      In the case of an individual who does not elect to itemize his
    deductions for the taxable year, for purposes of this subtitle, the
    term "taxable income" means adjusted gross income, minus - 
        (1) the standard deduction, and
        (2) the deduction for personal exemptions provided in section
      151.
    (c) Standard deduction
      For purposes of this subtitle - 
      (1) In general
        Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the term
      "standard deduction" means the sum of - 
          (A) the basic standard deduction, and
          (B) the additional standard deduction.
      (2) Basic standard deduction
        For purposes of paragraph (1), the basic standard deduction is
      - 
          (A) the applicable percentage of the dollar amount in effect
        under subparagraph (D) for the taxable year in the case of - 
            (i) a joint return, or
            (ii) a surviving spouse (as defined in section 2(a)),

          (B) $4,400 in the case of a head of household (as defined in
        section 2(b)),
          (C) one-half of the amount in effect under subparagraph (A)
        in the case of a married individual filing a separate return,
        or
          (D) $3,000 in any other case.

      If any amount determined under subparagraph (A) is not a multiple

      (2)(D), or (5) or subsection (f) shall be increased by an amount
      equal to - 
          (A) such dollar amount, multiplied by
          (B) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section
        1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins,
        by substituting for "calendar year 1992" in subparagraph (B)
        thereof -

          contained in paragraph (2)(B), (2)(D), or (5)(A) or

          contained in paragraph (5)(B).
      (5) Limitation on basic standard deduction in the case of certain
        dependents
        In the case of an individual with respect to whom a deduction
      under section 151 is allowable to another taxpayer for a taxable
      year beginning in the calendar year in which the individual's
      taxable year begins, the basic standard deduction applicable to

      be determined in accordance with the following table:

    For taxable years beginning                         The applicable

      For purposes of this subtitle, the term "itemized deductions"
    means the deductions allowable under this chapter other than - 
        (1) the deductions allowable in arriving at adjusted gross
      income, and
        (2) the deduction for personal exemptions provided by section
      151.
    (e) Election to itemize
      (1) In general
        Unless an individual makes an election under this subsection
      for the taxable year, no itemized deduction shall be allowed for
      the taxable year. For purposes of this subtitle, the
      determination of whether a deduction is allowable under this
      chapter shall be made without regard to the preceding sentence.
      (2) Time and manner of election
        Any election under this subsection shall be made on the
      taxpayer's return, and the Secretary shall prescribe the manner
      of signifying such election on the return.
      (3) Change of election
        Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, a change of
      election with respect to itemized deductions for any taxable year
      may be made after the filing of the return for such year. If the
      spouse of the taxpayer filed a separate return for any taxable
      year corresponding to the taxable year of the taxpayer, the
      change shall not be allowed unless, in accordance with such
      regulations - 
          (A) the spouse makes a change of election with respect to
        itemized deductions, for the taxable year covered in such
        separate return, consistent with the change of treatment sought
        by the taxpayer, and
          (B) the taxpayer and his spouse consent in writing to the
        assessment (within such period as may be agreed on with the
        Secretary) of any deficiency, to the extent attributable to
        such change of election, even though at the time of the filing
        of such consent the assessment of such deficiency would
        otherwise be prevented by the operation of any law or rule of
        law.

      This paragraph shall not apply if the tax liability of the
      taxpayer's spouse for the taxable year corresponding to the
      taxable year of the taxpayer has been compromised under section
      7122.
    (f) Aged or blind additional amounts
      (1) Additional amounts for the aged
        The taxpayer shall be entitled to an additional amount of $600
      - 
          (A) for himself if he has attained age 65 before the close of
        his taxable year, and
          (B) for the spouse of the taxpayer if the spouse has attained
        age 65 before the close of the taxable year and an additional
        exemption is allowable to the taxpayer for such spouse under
        section 151(b).
      (2) Additional amount for blind
        The taxpayer shall be entitled to an additional amount of $600
      - 
          (A) for himself if he is blind at the close of the taxable
        year, and
          (B) for the spouse of the taxpayer if the spouse is blind as
        of the close of the taxable year and an additional exemption is
        allowable to the taxpayer for such spouse under section 151(b).

      For purposes of subparagraph (B), if the spouse dies during the
      taxable year the determination of whether such spouse is blind
      shall be made as of the time of such death.
      (3) Higher amount for certain unmarried individuals
        In the case of an individual who is not married and is not a
      surviving spouse, paragraphs (1) and (2) shall be applied by
      substituting "$750" for "$600".
      (4) Blindness defined
        For purposes of this subsection, an individual is blind only if
      his central visual acuity does not exceed 20/200 in the better
      eye with correcting lenses, or if his visual acuity is greater
      than 20/200 but is accompanied by a limitation in the fields of
      vision such that the widest diameter of the visual field subtends
      an angle no greater than 20 degrees.
    (g) Marital status
      For purposes of this section, marital status shall be determined
    under section 7703.

    Sec. 66. Treatment of community income

-STATUTE-
    (a) Treatment of community income where spouses live apart
      If - 
        (1) 2 individuals are married to each other at any time during
      a calendar year;
        (2) such individuals - 
          (A) live apart at all times during the calendar year, and
          (B) do not file a joint return under section 6013 with each
        other for a taxable year beginning or ending in the calendar
        year;

        (3) one or both of such individuals have earned income for the
      calendar year which is community income; and
        (4) no portion of such earned income is transferred (directly
      or indirectly) between such individuals before the close of the
      calendar year,

    then, for purposes of this title, any community income of such
    individuals for the calendar year shall be treated in accordance
    with the rules provided by section 879(a).
    (b) Secretary may disregard community property laws where spouse
      not notified of community income
      The Secretary may disallow the benefits of any community property
    law to any taxpayer with respect to any income if such taxpayer
    acted as if solely entitled to such income and failed to notify the
    taxpayer's spouse before the due date (including extensions) for
    filing the return for the taxable year in which the income was
    derived of the nature and amount of such income.
    (c) Spouse relieved of liability in certain other cases
      Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, if - 
        (1) an individual does not file a joint return for any taxable
      year,
        (2) such individual does not include in gross income for such
      taxable year an item of community income properly includible
      therein which, in accordance with the rules contained in section
      879(a), would be treated as the income of the other spouse,
        (3) the individual establishes that he or she did not know of,
      and had no reason to know of, such item of community income, and
        (4) taking into account all facts and circumstances, it is
      inequitable to include such item of community income in such
      individual's gross income,

    then, for purposes of this title, such item of community income
    shall be included in the gross income of the other spouse (and not
    in the gross income of the individual). Under procedures prescribed
    by the Secretary, if, taking into account all the facts and
    circumstances, it is inequitable to hold the individual liable for
    any unpaid tax or any deficiency (or any portion of either)
    attributable to any item for which relief is not available under
    the preceding sentence, the Secretary may relieve such individual
    of such liability.
    (d) Definitions
      For purposes of this section - 
      (1) Earned income
        The term "earned income" has the meaning given to such term by
      section 911(d)(2).
      (2) Community income
        The term "community income" means income which, under
      applicable community property laws, is treated as community
      income.
      (3) Community property laws
        The term "community property laws" means the community property
      laws of a State, a foreign country, or a possession of the United
      States.
