International Real Estate Residential Tax Services Service Sheet

The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) imposes a tax on gains from a disposition of a U.S. real property interest by a foreign person. As a general rule, to help ensure foreign persons pay income tax on their sale of U.S. property, withholding tax on the amount realized from a disposition of a U.S. real property interest is required at the time of sale, and the tax payment must be sent to the IRS within 20 days subsequent to closing.
