In which case it didn't expire and, unless the system broke down, the notice
of lien was refiled (extended) and wouldn't drop off the credit reports.

To OP: Yes, inquire if they snatch another refund. How will you be worse
off?

I'm assuming here that you don't have your copy of the lien so you can't
check the statute expiration. If the notice was filed where you live now,
you can always check it in the public records.

Unless extended by waiver, OIC, bankruptcy, litigation, etc.

Did you hit the 10-year period of limitations on collection? That may be
why the lien fell off.

Really. Then there is no danger of of me complaining if it continues?

I'm surprised the lien is gone, rather than just shown as satisfied.

No, once the statute for collection has expired, they can no longer offset
refunds. The statute is 10 years from the date of assessment, which was
shown on the notice of lien.

I have (had) a mid 5 figure tax lien on my credit reports since the
mid 1990's and its finally gone-the irs has been attaching my federal
and state refunds-now that the lien is gone, will they stop or
continue the collection(s)?
