   41  sion  may  elect to treat the amount of such carryover as an overpayment
   42  of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the  provisions  of
   43  section [ten hundred] ONE THOUSAND eighty-six of this chapter, provided,
   44  however,  the  provisions of subsection (c) of section [ten hundred] ONE

   46  be paid thereon.
   47    S 3. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
   48  years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.
