After his indictment on the criminal charge in 1990, but before his ultimate plea of guilty in July, 1991,(1) the special investigations unit issued a notice of assessment and a notice of filing of Massachusetts tax lien, claiming unpaid taxes on income derived as a result of illegal activities for the years 1989 and 1990.(2) The defendant paid the income tax assessed, and, for amounts due in tax year 1989, also paid interest, additional penalties for failure to report the income, and a jeopardy assessment, all pursuant to G. L. c. 62C, §§ 26(d),(3) 28, and 29
