(1) if such tax was incurred by the estate and the failure occurred pursuant to an order of the court finding probable insufficiency of funds of the estate to pay administrative expenses, or
if—
(A) such tax was incurred by the debtor before the earlier of the order for relief or (in the involuntary case) the appointment of a trustee, and
(B) (i) the petition was filed before the due date prescribed by law (including extensions) for filing a return of such tax, or (ii) the date for making the addition to the tax occurs on or after the day on which the petition was filed.
