Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (OBRA), Pub. L. 101-239, sec. 7721(a), 103 Stat. 2106, 2395. Thus, the reasonable cause exception does not apply to petitioners' 1986, 1987, and 1988 returns. In any case, Mrs. Zaban lacks reasonable cause and good faith for each of the years in issue. Mrs. Zaban never revie

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, Pub. L. 101-239, sec. 7721(a), 103 Stat. 2106, 2395. This includes petitioners' 1989 return.

In 1989 Congress combined the accuracy-related penalties into section 66628 and moved the fraud penalty into its own section 6663 under OBRA 89 § 7721, 103 Stat. at 2395. Congress wanted to “consolidate[] into one part of the Internal Revenue Code all of the generally applicable penalties relating to the accuracy of tax returns” including the “negligence penalty, the substantial understateme
table to the implicit overvaluation." Gilman v.

No. 101-239, sec. 7721, 103 Stat. at 2395, repealed section 6661 and replaced it with the accuracy-relatedpenalty ofsection 6662, it is likely that petitioners had intended to refer to section 6651(h), which limits the penalty on an individual's failure to pay wh
