the following new section:

``SEC. 45S. CREDIT FOR INSOURCING EXPENSES.

    ``(a) In General.--For purposes of section 38, the insourcing 
expenses credit for any taxable year is an amount equal to 20 percent 
of the eligible insourcing expenses of the taxpayer which are taken 
into account in such taxable year under subsection (d).
    ``(b) Eligible Insourcing Expenses.--For purposes of this section--
            ``(1) In general.--The term `eligible insourcing expenses' 
        means--
                    ``(A) eligible expenses paid or incurred by the 
                taxpayer in connection with the elimination of any 
                business unit of the taxpayer (or of any member of any 
                expanded affiliated group in which the taxpayer is also 
                a member) located outside the United States, and
                    ``(B) eligible expenses paid or incurred by the 
                taxpayer in connection with the establishment of any 
                business unit of the taxpayer (or of any member of any 
                expanded affiliated group in which the taxpayer is also 
                a member) located within the United States,
        if such establishment constitutes the relocation of business 
        unit so eliminated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a 
        relocation shall not be treated as failing to occur merely 
        because such elimination occurs in a different taxable year 
        than such establishment.
            ``(2) Eligible expenses.--The term `eligible expenses' 
        means--
                    ``(A) any amount for which a deduction is allowed 
                to the taxpayer under section 162, and
                    ``(B) permit and license fees, lease brokerage 
                fees, equipment installation costs, and, to the extent 
                provided by the Secretary, other similar expenses.
        Such term does not include any compensation which is paid or 
        incurred in connection with severance from employment and, to 
        the extent provided by the Secretary, any similar amount.
            ``(3) Business unit.--The term `business unit' means--
                    ``(A) any trade or business, and
                    ``(B) any line of business, or functional unit, 
                which is part of any trade or business.
            ``(4) Expanded affiliated group.--The term `expanded 
        affiliated group' means an affiliated group as defined in 
        section 1504(a), determined without regard to section 
        1504(b)(3) and by substituting `more than 50 percent' for `at 
        least 80 percent' each place it appears in section 1504(a). A 
        partnership or any other entity (other than a corporation) 
        shall be treated as a member of an expanded affiliated group if 
        such entity is controlled (within the meaning of section 
        954(d)(3)) by members of such group (including any entity 
        treated as a member of such group by reason of this paragraph).
            ``(5) Expenses must be pursuant to insourcing plan.--
        Amounts shall be taken into account under paragraph (1) only to 
        the extent that such amounts are paid or incurred pursuant to a 
        written plan to carry out the relocation described in paragraph 
        (1).
            ``(6) Operating expenses not taken into account.--Any 
        amount paid or incurred in connection with the on-going 
        operation of a business unit shall not be treated as an amount 
        paid or incurred in connection with the establishment or 
        elimination of such business unit.
    ``(c) Increased Domestic Employment Requirement.--No credit shall 
be allowed under this section unless the number of full-time equivalent 
employees of the taxpayer for the taxable year for which the credit is 
claimed exceeds the number of full-time equivalent employees of the 
taxpayer for the last taxable year ending before the first taxable year 
in which such eligible insourcing expenses were paid or incurred. For 
purposes of this subsection, full-time equivalent employees has the 
meaning given such term under section 45R(d) (and the applicable rules 
of section 45R(e)), determined by only taking into account wages (as 
otherwise defined in section 45R(e)) paid with respect to services 
performed within the United States. All employers treated as a single 
employer under subsection (b), (c), (m), or (o) of section 414 shall be 
treated as a single employer for purposes of this subsection.
    ``(d) Credit Allowed Upon Completion of Insourcing Plan.--
            ``(1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), 
        eligible insourcing expenses shall be taken into account under 
        subsection (a) in the taxable year during which the plan 
        described in subsection (b)(5) has been completed and all 
        eligible insourcing expenses pursuant to such plan have been 
        paid or incurred.
            ``(2) Election to apply employment test and claim credit in 
        first full taxable year after completion of plan.--If the 
        taxpayer elects the application of this paragraph, eligible

        subsection (a) in the first taxable year after the taxable year 
        described in paragraph (1).
    ``(e) Possessions Treated as Part of the United States.--For 
purposes of this section, the term `United States' shall be treated as 
including each possession of the United States (including the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands).

                possession by reason of section 45S of the Internal 
                Revenue Code of 1986. Such amount shall be determined

                tax liability of the residents of such possession under

Bring Jobs Home Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) grant business taxpayers a tax credit for up to 20% of insourcing expenses incurred for eliminating a business located outside the United States and relocating it within the United States, and (2) deny a tax deduction for outsourcing expenses incurred in relocating a U.S. business outside the United States. Requires an increase in the taxpayer's employment of full-time employees in the United States in order to claim the tax credit for insourcing expenses.

Allows nonrecognition of gain in a corporate reorganization for corporations that exchange property solely for stock other than nonqualified preferred stock.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to encourage domestic insourcing and discourage foreign outsourcing, and for other purposes.
