what is the reason given in the notice? I guessing, but most likely, the payment got there after 4/15 or you had an estimated tax underpayment penalty.

Even if Turbo Tax calculates a penalty on line 23 it is just an estimate. It's common and expected for the IRS to send a bill for more or even send a refund. It is determined by when the IRS actually gets your tax due payment which Turbo Tax won't know.
