Where can I find the area to have the underpymt penalty removed? I was affected by Helene, and I'm not finding the questions to revisit it under Underpymt Penalties

I've clicked "edit" and "revisit" but it just states I've been penalized, but doesn't provide questions, to show I was affected.

The IRS says they will automatically apply penalty relief based on your address, if you are in an affected area.  If you can, delete the penalty form, or decline turbotax's offer to calculate a penalty.  Submit your return without the penalty form, and let the IRS calculate it for you.  If they do bill you for a penalty, you can call the number on the notice to have the penalty abated.
