    27  mental tax in addition to the tax imposed under subsections (a), (b) and
    28  (c) of this section for the purpose of recapturing the  benefit  of  the
    29  tax  tables  contained  in such subsections. During these taxable years,
    30  any reference in this chapter to subsection (d) of this section shall be
    31  read as a reference to this subsection.
    32    (1) For resident married individuals filing joint returns and resident
    33  surviving spouses, the supplemental tax shall be an amount equal to  the
    34  sum  of  the tax table benefits described in subparagraphs (A), (B), (C)

    49  denominator is fifty thousand dollars.
    50    (B) The tax table benefit is the difference between (i) the amount  of

     6  the  lesser of fifty thousand dollars or the excess of New York adjusted
     7  gross income for the taxable year over  five  million  dollars  and  the

    17  clause (ii) of paragraph (B) of paragraph one of subsection (a) of  this
    18  section less the sum of the tax table benefits in subparagraphs (A), (B)
