Yes, you can but you must do it properly. First determine if there is anyway to reduce the amount you owe. Second, determine the proper way to make payments for the type of taxes, interest and penalties that you owe. You must mark the payment carefully as to what it is paying, type of tax and the tax period. The IRS has the power to allocate the payments in its benefit, if you do not do a good job of it.

Yes, you can make addition all payments even if you are being garnished. Refer to your levy notice to get the proper address to send the payments to, or you can have your employer ad extra to the garnishment. I can also help you get the levy lifted by getting into a regular Installment Agreement to pay off the debt.

Yes. I'd recommend talking to the IRS collections people (they've written you a lot, the number is on the letters). Tell them you'd like to work out a payment arrangement and you can get the garnishment stopped (without paying the Tax Doctor or any other rip off advertising service $5,000).

The IRS wants its money, the faster you pay the better for both them and you. They will credit the additional payments to your account.
