CAs and liens can and do report for less than $100.
Edited to clarify...it is FICO08 that won't report for less than $100 and does include PRs and CAs. But it hasn't been implemented yet. So, anything less than $100 continues to report for the time being.

They certainly do. I had to get a late off of my report for a CHASE account that was supposed to be closed and wasn't. the "late amount" was a $29 yearly fee.... It was a pain to get removed too, and all for $29!
I think you may have been referring to FICO 09 which, suposedly, will not zing you as much for collections < $100. It is unknown if that will also apply to tax liens as well.
From the article quoted in:
http://ficoforums.myfico.com/fico/board/message?board.id=creditnews&thread.id=3645&jump=true
referring to FICO 08, "TransUnion will offer the new score to lenders starting in late January, with Equifax introducing it in the spring, said Craig Watts, a Fair Isaac spokesman."
and it says:
The new formula ignores small collection accounts in which the original debt was less than $100.

I goofed in my org. post. I typed "reported". It should have read that FICO 08 won't "factor" in debts for less than $100. The $100 or less can and very likely will continue to report. FICO has no say in what the CRAs report.
