    amount will penalties for late filing and late payment is $5,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    tax liability = $50,000

    taxes withheld = $45,000

    solution

    As late filing and late payment penalty is base on amount of net tax due

    so late filing and late payment penalty will be

    late filing and late payment penalty = tax liability - taxes withheld

    late filing and late payment penalty = $50,000 - $45,000

    late filing and late payment penalty = $5000 owed

    and

    negligence penalty 20% with understatement tax is disregard as any careless and reckless or intentional is not unintentional disregard of tax rules and regulation

    so correct answer is $5,000
