Any taxpayer who fails to include on any return or statement any information with respect to a reportable transaction that is required under Section 501(b) of this Act to be included with such return or statement shall pay a penalty in the amount determined under this subsection. Such penalty shall be deemed assessed upon the date of filing of the return for the taxable year in which the taxpayer participates in the reportable transaction. A taxpayer shall not be considered to have complied with the requirements of Section 501(b) of this Act unless the disclosure statement filed with the Department includes all of the information required to be disclosed with respect to a reportable transaction pursuant to Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code, the regulations promulgated under that statute, and regulations promulgated by the Department under Section 501(b) of this Act.

Department may rescind all or any portion of any penalty imposed by this subsection with respect to any violation, if:
 
 
 
(A) the violation is with respect to a reportable
