False statements or omissions

We will charge a penalty if a corporation, either knowingly or under circumstances of gross negligence, makes a false statement or omission on a return. The penalty is the greater of either $100 or 50% of the amount of understated tax.

Note

If a corporation is charged a penalty for making a false statement or omission, the corporation cannot be charged a penalty on the same amount for failing to report income.
