(1), any State or local income tax effect which is related to a
Federal income tax effect shall be treated in the same manner as a
Federal income tax effect.

transactions entered into in connection with a trade or

substance transaction' means any portion of a transaction described

amendment or supplement to a return of tax be taken into account
