The penalty base is important and needs to be stated explicitly. I have made that addition as follows:
In the Student edition p. 233 and the Practitioner edition p. 331, I have added the following sentence immediately after the first sentence in the section under D. Fraudulent Failure to File Return - § 6651(f).:
The base to which the 15% per month fraudulent failure to file penalty rate applies is the same base as the general failure to file 5% per month penalty – the tax due “reduced by the amount of any part of the tax which is paid on or before the date prescribed for payment of the tax and by the amount of any credit against the tax which may be claimed on the return.” fnIn the Student edition p. 248 and the Practitioner edition p. 352, I have added the following sentence immediately after the fourth sentence in the section under F.1. Most Returns with Tax Due:
fn § 6651(b)(1).
The base to which the 5% per month penalty rate applies is the tax due “reduced by the amount of any part of the tax which is paid on or before the date prescribed for payment of the tax and by the amount of any credit against the tax which may be claimed on the return.” fnRemember that the indicated footnotes are not contained in the Student edition.
fn § 6651(b)(1).
