Naturalization & IRS penalty

Hi,

It's been 4 years and a half I'm a permanent resident, and I'm preparing to file the N400 form.
In 2015 I forgot to report the benefit I made by selling stocks. I had to pay extra tax, plus a penalty.
I'm a little confused with this point of the N400 document checklist:
"If you have ever failed to file an income tax return since you became a Lawful Permanent Resident"
What should I do here? I reported the rest of my taxes correctly...

Thanks

Technically, answer to that question would be "No" since you did file 2015 taxes. You just forgot to include the profit from the stocks.

I had the similar situation where I owed money and penalty to IRS. Took care of it before filing my N400 and there was no issue during processing and interview regarding taxes.
