Yes — the IRS can garnish wages anywhere in the US including Arlington Heights. Before garnishing, the IRS must send a Final Notice of Intent to Levy (LT11 or Letter 1058). You have 30 days to request a Collection Due Process hearing, which temporarily stops the levy. If you’ve already received this notice, act immediately — a Arlington Heights specialist can file an emergency CDP request or negotiate a release within 24–72 hours.

Arlington Heights taxpayers are handled by the IRS Illinois district office. Our specialists know the local IRS agents and their negotiation patterns — which gives Arlington Heights taxpayers a significant advantage compared to working with a national firm that has no local knowledge. The IRS also has Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) in major Illinois cities for in-person appointments.

Tax resolution fees in Arlington Heights vary by case complexity: simple installment agreements typically run $500–$1,500; Offer in Compromise cases run $3,500–$8,000 (plus the $205 IRS application fee); full representation with levy release and OIC can run $5,000–$15,000.

OIC eligibility is based on your Reasonable Collection Potential (RCP) — a calculation of your income, expenses, and asset equity. In 2026, the IRS accepted approximately 21% of OIC applications. To qualify, you must have filed all required returns, made all required estimated tax payments, and not be in open bankruptcy. The IRS pre-qualifier tool gives a rough estimate, but a Arlington Heights specialist review is essential before applying — a rejected OIC resets the collection statute.
