Underpayment Tax Penalty Refunded by IRS

I used TurboTax Home & Business to prepare and file a 2022 return for a family member who is employed full time and has taxes withheld via W-9 and gets monthly W-2's.  Ended up with an underpayment of taxes over $8,000, and TT calculated a penalty of $239.  Decision was made to file and pay underpayment plus penalty on 03/31/2023.  Accepted and processed by IRS.

 

Just (04/26/2023) received notice from IRS that entire underpayment penalty will be returned, look for check in 4-6 weeks.

 

How it that possible?
