I have been making payments of 100 dollars a month to the IRS. My question is can they garnish my check even though I am making payments? Wondering what other options I have as well. Any help will be appreicated. Thank you in advance

Have not made an agreement with the IRS. 100 dollars is all I can afford at this time. But I figure being that I am making payments they cannot do anything. Right?

For $900, IRS has bigger fish to fry. Just make your payments and that will be that. As a matter of normal procedure, taxpayers will automatically be granted an installment agreement on liabilities of $10,000 or less if the account will full paid within three years.

Right? No, wrong - if you do not have an agreement in place, then they can garnish your paycheck. Talk to them and get something official in place. Realize though that they, not you, will decide what you can afford each month and whether $100 is sufficient. Depending on your income, if they garnish your paycheck it will probably be more than $100 a month.

They probably could garnish you if they wanted to be nasty, but as long as you're making payments on a regular basis, they will most likely leave you alone.

As long as you are making your payments as agreed they will not garnish your pay or attach your bank accounts. If you stop paying, watch out!

CAN they do anything? Probably. WILL THEY? Probably not, until you start stiffing them. Regular payments should keep them happy and the amount isn't enough to get them too excited, I wouldn't think.
