(a) Against the tax imposed by section 901 of the Social Security Act for the calendar year 1936, 1937, or 1938, any taxpayer shall be allowed credit for the amount of contributions, with respect to employment during such year, paid by him into an unemployment fund under a State law- (1) Before the sixtieth day after the date of the enactment of this Act; (2) On or after such sixtieth day, with respect to wages paid after the fortieth day after such date of enactment; (3) Without regard to the date of payment, if the assets of the taxpayer are, at any time during the fifty-nine-day period following such date of enactment, in the custody or control of a receiver, trustee, or other fiduciary appointed by, or under the control of, a court of competent jurisdiction. (b) Upon the payment of contributions into the unemployment fund of a State which are required under the unemployment compen- sation law of that State with respect to remuneration on the basis of which, prior to such payment into the proper fund, the taxpayer erroneously paid an amount as contributions under another unem- ployment compensation law, the payment into the proper fund shall, for purposes of credit against the tax imposed by section 901 of the Social Security Act for the calendar years 1936, 1937, and 1938, respectively, be deemed to have been made at the time of the erro- neous payment. If, by reason of such other law, the taxpayer was entitled to cease paying contributions with respect to services subject to such other law, the payment into the proper fund shall, for pur- poses of credit against the tax, be deemed to have been made on the date the return for the taxable year was filed under section 905 of the Social Security Act.
