Accuracy- IRS 6662 Penalty

What are the best strategies for getting an Accuracy-IRC 6662 penalty abated?  This relates to travel and entertainment. I think the taxpayer acted reasonably and in good faith. I have always in the past gotten this abated , but it has rarely been asserted.  The IRS has dragged this audit  on for fourteen months with three different agents. Is that something the taxpayer could use?

    Maybe.

    Why is IRS disallowing the deductions?

    How did your client act reasonably and in good faith?

    They have detailed listing of the travel and meals. Business purpose not always well documented.

    Abatement is not the right word, but you can challenge the assessment if when it was first proposed, the auditor did not have written supervisory approval.

    Do you think that the taxpayer acted reasonably and in good faith  is the best argument?

    It sounds like that is the only one you have and from where we are sitting, we can't determine whether they really acted reasonably and in good faith.
