I paid off a large tax debt. What would be "resonalble cause" for the IRS to give me a penalty abatement?
Usually "reasonable cause" refers to the reason why you underpaid your taxes in the first place. For example, if you relied on a CPA or other advisor, and that advisor was wrong, that would be reasonable cause. You would also have reasonable cause if the law had recently changed and you were unaware of the change. Every situation is different; you should consult with a CPA, tax attorney or other tax professional to determine whether reasonable cause exists in your unique factual situation.

Probably Cause leads from Reasonable Suspicion and is developed when a trained law enforcement officer determines that there is enough cause to believe that a crime has been committed and the person whom he can identify, or has in custody, is the one who committed it.
