INSUFFICIENT DISTRIBUTIONS.—If—

" (A) a United States shareholder, in making its return of the tax imposed by this chapter for any taxable year, applies the provisions of this section with respect to any controlled foreign corporation, " (B) it is subsequently determined that this section did not apply with respect to such controlled foreign corporation for such taxable year due to the failure of the United States shareholder to receive a minimum distribution with respect to such controlled foreign corporation, and " (C) such failure is due to reasonable cause, then a subsequent distribution made with respect to such controlled foreign corporation may, if made at a time and in a manner prescribed by the Secretary or his delegate by regulations, be treated, for purposes of this chapter, as having been made for, and received in, the taxable year of the United States shareholder for which such shareholder applied the provisions of this section. "(3) AFFILIATED GROUPS OF CORPORATIONS.—An affiliated group of corporations which makes a consolidated return under section 1501 for the taxable year, may, if it so elects, be treated as a single United States shareholder for purposes of applying this section for the taxable year.
