be liable for a penalty determined under subsection (b) for each month (or fraction thereof) during which such failure continues (but not to exceed 12 months), unless it is shown that such failure is due to reasonable cause.\n(b)\nAmount per month\nFor purposes of subsection (a), the amount determined under this subsection for any month is the product of\u2014\n(1) $195, multiplied by\n(2) the
