Any reference in this paragraph to section 1400F shall be treated as reference to such section before its repeal. any gain which is treated as ordinary income for purposes of this subtitle, and any gain which is attributable to real property, or an intangible asset, which is not an integral part of an enterprise zone business. A taxpayer shall be treated as having purchased any property if, but for paragraph (4), the unadjusted basis of such property in the hands of the taxpayer would be its cost (within the meaning of section 1012). If gain from any sale is not recognized by reason of subsection (a), such gain shall be applied to reduce (in the order acquired) the basis for determining gain or loss of any qualified empowerment zone asset which is purchased by the taxpayer during the 60-day period described in subsection (a). This paragraph shall not apply for purposes of section 1202. For purposes of determining whether the nonrecognition of gain under subsection (a) applies to any qualified empowerment zone asset which is sold, the taxpayer’s holding period for such asset and the asset referred to in subsection (a)(1) shall be determined without regard to section 1223. This section shall not apply to sales in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020 .
