What the notice is saying
An accuracy-related penalty is charged under Internal Revenue Code Section 6662, a percentage added on top of the tax the IRS says was underreported. It is asserted by the computer before anyone has looked at why the numbers differ.
The defense the code writes down
Internal Revenue Code Section 6664(c) removes the Section 6662 penalty where there was reasonable cause and you acted in good faith. That is a real statutory defense, not a courtesy: it turns on the facts of your situation and how they are put on paper.
