A representation client and I received notification from the IRS that the client needs to make a regular monthly payment on an installment agreement. I was surprised by the notice because the payments are being made by withholding from the client's pay. Can anyone tell me whether this letter is routine in this situation or indicates that things are crossed up and need straightening out? Many thanks.

Check with payroll
Administrator and make sure they are forwarding the garnishment to the proper address and on time. I have seen this type of withholding messed up more than once.AJ, EA -

Garnishment came first
but then it stopped and my client got and sent to HR the paperwork stopping it and putting in the withholding for the IA.Comment

Just as I figured. In this case client will just have to wait it out until IRS paperwork catches up or maybe your contact with TAO perhaps? I don't usually advocate that course of action, but if you can't get timely satisfaction via normal channels with the collection people, it would be proper to contact them.ChEAr$,

How big a deal is this letter?
The Garnishment stopped promptly and as was negotiated it is only this month time tor the IA payments by withholding are to start. There's been one paycheck that should have had an IA payment and before the end of the month there will be another paycheck that should have an IA payment.Comment

Are you sure that IRS actually agreed to payroll withholding in connection of an IA?
I've never heard of that happening.ChEAr$,
