(2) The deposit is used to pay a final tax liability.
(b) Section 6603(d) of the Internal Revenue Code is modified to substitute the phrase “notice of proposed deficiency assessment under Article 3 of Chapter 4 of this part” for “30-day letter” in each place that the phrase “30-day letter” appears.
(c) In the case of any amount held by the Franchise Tax Board as a deposit in the nature of a cash bond pursuant to the provisions of this section prior to the amendments made by the act adding this subdivision, the date that the taxpayer identifies that amount as a deposit made pursuant to this section, as amended by the act adding this subdivision, shall be treated as the date that the amount is deposited for purposes of this section, as amended by the act adding this subdivision.
