It was recently determined that a lien was filed quite some time ago by an IRS agent based on her opinion that a Form 941, quarterly employment tax return was not filed. It was determined that there were no employees during the period and no liability existed to file the return. It appears that the agent never removed the lien. We are in the process of contacting the IRS in order to have the lien removed. There is no monetary liability to be paid.
