shall be interpreted to preclude a taxpayer from
establishing a period of presumptive eligibility
(including any period described in subparagraph (D)

respect to any specified child for purposes of this
section solely because such taxpayer affirmatively
elects not to receive monthly advance child payments
under section 7527A.
``(C) Exception for income-based tie-breaker
rules.--If a period of presumptive eligibility is
established under section 7527A(c) for any individual
with respect to any taxpayer and such individual is not
the specified child of such taxpayer for any month in

described in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of paragraph
(4)(A) for the taxable year which includes such month,
subparagraph (A) shall not apply with respect to such
month.
``(D) Treatment of certain retroactive payments.--

section 7527A(f)(3) or paragraph (1) or (2) of section

return, either spouse) has a principal place of abode (determined as
provided in section 32) in the United States or Puerto Rico for more
than one-half of any calendar month during the taxable year, so much of
the credit otherwise allowed under subsection (a) as is attributable to
monthly specified child allowances with respect to any such calendar
month shall be allowed under subpart C (and not allowed under this
subpart).
``(e) Identification Requirements.--
``(1) Qualifying child identification requirement.--No
credit shall be allowed under this section to a taxpayer with
respect to any qualifying child unless the taxpayer includes
the name and taxpayer identification number of such qualifying
child on the return of tax for the taxable year and such
taxpayer identification number was issued on or before the due
date for filing such return.
``(2) Taxpayer identification requirement.--No credit shall
be allowed under this section if the taxpayer identification
number of the taxpayer was issued after the due date for filing
the return for the taxable year.

Improperly Received Monthly Advance Child Payment.--
``(1) Taxpayers making prior fraudulent or reckless

this section for any taxable year (and no payment shall
be made under section 7527A for any month) in the
disallowance period.
``(B) Disallowance period.--For purposes of
subparagraph (A), the disallowance period is--
``(i) the period of 120 calendar months
after the most recent calendar month for which
there was a final determination that the
taxpayer's claim of credit under this section
or section 24 (or payment received under
section 7527A) was due to fraud, and
``(ii) the period of 24 calendar months
after the most recent calendar month for which
there was a final determination that the
taxpayer's claim of credit under this section
or section 24 (or payment received under
section 7527A) was due to reckless or
intentional disregard of rules and regulations
(but not due to fraud).
``(2) Taxpayers making improper prior claims.--In the case
of a taxpayer who is denied credit under this section or
section 24 for any taxable year as a result of the deficiency
procedures under subchapter B of chapter 63, no credit shall be
allowed under this section for any subsequent taxable year (and
no payment shall be made under section 7527A for any subsequent
month) unless the taxpayer provides such information as the
Secretary may require to demonstrate eligibility for such
credit.
``(3) Coordination with possessions of the united states.--
For purposes of this subsection, a taxpayer's claim of credit
under this section or section 24 (or payment received under
section 7527A) includes a claim of credit under this section or
section 24 of the income tax law of any jurisdiction other than
the United States (or similar payment received under section
7527A of such income tax law), and a claim made or a payment
received from American Samoa pursuant to a plan described in
subsection (h)(3)(B) or section 24(k)(3)(B).
``(g) Reconciliation of Credit and Monthly Advance Child
Payments.--
``(1) In general.--The amount otherwise determined under
subsection (a) with respect to any taxpayer for any taxable
year shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate
amount of payments made under section 7527A to such taxpayer
for one or more calendar months in such taxable year. Any
failure to so reduce the credit shall be treated as arising out
of a mathematical or clerical error and assessed according to
section 6213(b)(1).
``(2) Increase in tax equal to excess advance payments in
certain circumstances.--If the aggregate amount of payments
made to the taxpayer under section 7527A for one or more
calendar months in such taxable year exceeds the amount allowed
as a credit under subpart C by reason of this section with
respect to such taxpayer for such taxable year (without regard
to paragraph (1) of this subsection), the tax imposed by this
chapter for such taxable year shall be increased by so much of
such excess as is attributable to one or more of the following:
``(A) Fraud, or reckless or intentional disregard
of rules and regulations, by the taxpayer.
``(B) Changes in the taxpayer's modified adjusted
gross income or filing status that affect the
application of the limitation imposed by subsection
(b)(2).
``(C) Payments under section 7527A which were made
for months which were not part of a period of
presumptive eligibility.
``(D) A failure to be the taxpayer described in
clause (i), (ii), or (iii) of subsection (c)(4)(A).
``(E) A failure to satisfy the requirements of
subsection (d).
``(F) A failure to satisfy the requirements of
paragraphs (1) or (2) of subsection (e), except that a
failure to satisfy the requirements of subsection
(e)(1) shall not be taken into account under this
subparagraph if the taxpayer demonstrates to the
satisfaction of the Secretary that it is reasonable to
expect that the qualifying child will be issued a
taxpayer identification number and that the delay in
such issuance was due to reasonable cause and not
willful neglect.
``(G) Such other circumstances as the Secretary
identifies for purposes of this subparagraph to
facilitate the administration and enforcement by the
Secretary of section 7527A, to minimize the amount of
advance payments made under section 7527A to ineligible
individuals, and to prevent abuse.
``(H) Payments subject to treatment as excess
advance payments after notice under section
7527A(j)(2).
``(3) Joint returns.--Except as otherwise provided by the
Secretary, in the case of an advance payment made under section
7527A with respect to a joint return, half of such payment
shall be treated as having been made to each individual filing
such return.
``(4) Coordination with possessions of the united states.--
For purposes of this subsection, payments made under section
7527A include payments made by any jurisdiction other than the
United States under section 7527A of the income tax law of such
jurisdiction, and advance payments made by American Samoa
pursuant to a plan described in subsection (h)(3)(B). Any
increase in tax imposed on a taxpayer by reason of paragraph
(2) of the income tax law of a jurisdiction other than the
United States shall be considered to reduce the aggregate
amount of payments made to such taxpayer by such jurisdiction.
In carrying out this section, the Secretary shall coordinate
with each possession of the United States to prevent any
application of this paragraph that is inconsistent with the
purposes of this subsection.
``(h) Application of Credit in Possessions.--
``(1) Mirror code possessions.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall pay to each
possession of the United States with a mirror code tax
system amounts equal to the loss (if any) to that
possession by reason of the application of this section
(determined without regard to this subsection) with
respect to taxable years beginning in calendar years
after 2024. Such amounts shall be determined by the
Secretary based on information provided by the
government of the respective possession.
``(B) Coordination with credit allowed against
united states income taxes.--No credit shall be allowed
under this section for any taxable year to any
individual to whom a credit is allowable against taxes
imposed by a possession of the United States with a
mirror code tax system by reason of the application of
this section in such possession for such taxable year.
``(C) Mirror code tax system.--For purposes of this
paragraph, the term `mirror code tax system' means,
with respect to any possession of the United States,
the income tax system of such possession if the income
tax liability of the residents of such possession under
such system is determined by reference to the income
tax laws of the United States as if such possession
were the United States.
``(2) Cross references related to application of credit to
residents of puerto rico.--
``(A) For application of refundable credit to
residents of Puerto Rico, see subsection (d).
``(B) For application of advance payment to
residents of Puerto Rico, see section 7527A(b)(5).
``(3) American samoa.--
``(A) In general.--The Secretary shall pay to
American Samoa amounts estimated by the Secretary as
being equal to the aggregate benefits that would have
been provided to residents of American Samoa by reason
of the application of this section for taxable years
beginning in calendar years after 2024 if the
provisions of this section had been in effect in
American Samoa (applied as if American Samoa were the
United States and without regard to the application of
this section to residents of Puerto Rico under
subsection (d)).
``(B) Distribution requirement.--Subparagraph (A)
shall not apply unless American Samoa has a plan, which
has been approved by the Secretary, under which
American Samoa will promptly distribute such payments
to its residents.
``(C) Coordination with credit allowed against
united states income taxes.--
``(i) In general.--In the case of a taxable
year with respect to which a plan is approved
under subparagraph (B), this section (other
than this subsection) shall not apply to any
individual eligible for a distribution under
such plan.
``(ii) Application of section in event of
absence of approved plan.--In the case of a
taxable year with respect to which a plan is
not approved under subparagraph (B), subsection
(d) shall be applied by substituting `, Puerto
Rico, or American Samoa' for `or Puerto Rico'.
``(4) Treatment of payments.--For purposes of section 1324
of title 31, United States Code, the payments under this
subsection shall be treated in the same manner as a refund due
from a credit provision referred to in subsection (b)(2) of
such section.
``(i) Regulations.--The Secretary shall issue such regulations or
other guidance as the Secretary determines necessary or appropriate to
carry out the purposes of this section, including regulations or other
guidance--
``(1) for determining whether an individual receives care
from a taxpayer for purposes of subsection (c)(1)(C), and

section, section 24, and section 7527A in the case of any

programs.--The Secretary shall issue regulations or other
guidance to establish procedures under which--

established with respect another taxpayer and such child
(hereafter referred to as the `challenge claim'), and the
period of such challenge claim would overlap with the period of
such original claim--

``(A) Delay in establishment of challenge claim.--
If the challenge claim is established pursuant to the
procedures established under paragraph (1)(C), the

such challenge claim had been allowed to take effect
without regard to this subsection. Any payment under
this subparagraph shall be in addition to any payment
made under subsection (g).

aggregate amount of increases in the monthly advance
child payments which would have been made to such
taxpayer if such original claim had never been
terminated.

child allowance under section 24A(b) (determined
without regard to section 24A(c)(7)) for one or more of

such period, the Secretary shall make a one-time
payment to the taxpayer equal to the aggregate amount
of increases in the monthly advance child payments
which would have been made to such taxpayer if such

with respect to any taxpayer more than once during any
36-month period.

for such months was due to domestic violence, serious illness,

make a one-time payment to the taxpayer equal to the aggregate
amount of increases in the monthly advance child payments which
would have been made to such taxpayer if such months were part
of such period.

establishment of challenge claim.--For purposes of applying
