IRS Files Tax Lien Against Berger Cookies Maker

The IRS filed a notice of a nearly $109,000 tax lien against DeBaufre Bakeries — which makes the Baltimore treat — with the Baltimore City Circuit Court in February. Most of that amount was due in 2010, with smaller amounts due in 2009 and 2011, according to the court document

The IRS also filed notices of an approximately $14,000 lien in September and a lien of about $26,000 in October, for tax periods in 2006, 2011 and 2012.

Telephone messages to DeBaufre Bakeries and its attorney were not returned Thursday.

It has been a rough year for the company. The Baltimore City Health Department temporarily closed the bakery Jan. 31 after discovering it had no city food-service license. And the bakery's owner, Charles DeBaufre Jr., has been hospitalized for more than a month.
