(1) Resident married individuals filing joint returns, surviving spouses, resident heads of households, resident unmarried individuals, resident married individuals filing separate returns and resident estates and trusts. (A) The tax table benefit is the difference between (i) the amount of taxable income set forth in the tax table in subsection (a) of this section not subject to the second highest rate of tax for the taxable year multiplied by such rate and (ii) the second highest dollar denominated tax for such amount of taxable income set forth in the tax table applicable to the taxable year in subsection (a) of this section.

(B) The fraction is computed as follows: the numerator is the lesser of fifty thousand dollars or the excess of New York adjusted gross income for the taxable year over one hundred fifty thousand dollars and the denominator is fifty thousand dollars.

(2) Resident married individuals filing joint returns, surviving spouses, resident heads of households, resident unmarried individuals, resident married individuals filing separate returns and resident estates and trusts. (A) The tax table benefit is the difference between (i) the amount of taxable income set forth in the tax table in subsection (a) of this section not subject to the highest rate of tax for the taxable year multiplied by such rate and (ii) the highest dollar denominated tax set forth in the tax table applicable to the taxable year in subsection (a) of this section less the sum of the tax table benefits in paragraph one of this subsection.

(B) For such taxpayers with adjusted gross income over five hundred thousand dollars, the fraction is one. Provided, however, that the total tax prior to the application of any tax credits shall not exceed the highest rate of tax set forth in the tax table in subsection (a) of this section multiplied by the taxpayer's taxable income.
