Proper adjustments in the amount determined under the preceding sentence shall be made for adjustments required for partnership taxable years after the reviewed year and before the adjustment year by reason of such partnership adjustment. (3) **Penalties** — Any penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount shall be determined at the partnership level as if such partnership had been an individual subject to tax under chapter 1 for the reviewed year and the imputed underpayment were an actual underpayment (or understatement) for such year. **(b) Interest and penalties with respect to adjustment year return** (1) **In general** — In the case of any failure to pay an imputed underpayment on the date prescribed therefor, the partnership shall be liable— (A) for interest as determined under paragraph (2), and (B) for any penalty, addition to tax, or additional amount as determined under paragraph (3).

The court may by order provide that the jurisdictional requirements of this paragraph are satisfied where there has been a good faith attempt to satisfy such requirement and any shortfall of the amount required to be deposited is timely corrected. (2) **Interest payable** — Any amount deposited under paragraph (1), while deposited, shall not be treated as a payment of tax for purposes of this title (other than chapter 67). **(c) Scope of judicial review** A court with which a petition is filed in accordance with this section shall have jurisdiction to determine all partnership-related items for the partnership taxable year to which the notice of final partnership adjustment relates, the proper al
