At the election of an individual engaged in a farming business or fishing business, the tax imposed by section 1 for such taxable year* shall be equal to the sum of—
a tax computed under such section on taxable income reduced by elected farm income, plus

Any adjustment under this section for any taxable year shall be taken into account in applying this section for any subsequent taxable year.

The term “elected farm income” means so much of the taxable income for the taxable year—
which is attributable to any farming business or fishing business; and
which is specified in the election under subsection (a).
For purposes of subparagraph (A), gain from the sale or other disposition of property (other than land) regularly used by the taxpayer* in such a farming business or fishing business for a substantial period shall be treated as attributable to such a farming business or fishing business.
