Improper FIRPTA handling can leave buyers legally liable for the seller's tax, plus penalties and interest. We prepare, sign, and submit the required IRS forms as paid preparers, helping ensure the documentation is complete, accurate, and timely.

We help eligible sellers reduce the standard 15% FIRPTA withholding—or eliminate it entirely when an exemption applies—through withholding certificates, the personal residence exception, the Substantial Presence Test, Green Card status, or other U.S. tax residency rules.

The IRS documentation process is often slow and document-intensive. We prepare complete, accurate filing packages designed to keep your closing on schedule while minimizing unnecessary IRS processing delays.

We work directly with escrow officers, title companies, real estate professionals, attorneys, buyers, and sellers to help ensure the FIRPTA process is handled accurately and funds are properly managed at closing.

FIRPTA can be confusing, especially for non-U.S. sellers. We explain every step in clear, practical language so you understand your options, responsibilities, and deadlines.

Our work doesn't stop at closing. We prepare and file U.S. income tax returns (Form 1040-NR) so foreign sellers can claim any refund due after the transaction is completed.

We are IRS Certified Acceptance Agents authorized to obtain Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) without requiring applicants to mail their passports to the IRS. We can complete the ITIN process in person or remotely from virtually anywhere in the world. An ITIN is often critical to withholding certificates, IRS processing, and obtaining a timely tax refund.
