(A) any farming syndicate as defined in section 464(c), and
(B) any other activity consisting of farming which is a passive activity (within the meaning of section 469(c)).
For purposes of paragraph (1), a personal service corporation (within the meaning of section 469(j)(2)) shall be treated as a taxpayer other than a corporation.

(2) the provisions of section 469(m) (relating to phase-in of disallowance) shall not apply, and
(3) in lieu of applying section 469(j)(7), the passive activity loss of a taxpayer shall be computed without regard to qualified housing interest (as defined in section 56(e)).
For purposes of this section—
The amount of losses to which subsection (a) or (b) applies shall be reduced by the amount (if any) by which the taxpayer is insolvent as of the close of the taxable year.
