I checked the wrong box and the letter does not say direct debit tells me that they need to make a payment today or face late payment penalty and interest. If they want to wait, you should cover any additional penalty.

I think the answer is yes. What does the client letter say?

The client letter directs client to pay by voucher or IRS web site. Just want to make sure that it is not paid twice.
