👋Closed Real Estate Transactions
What If My Real Estate Transaction Already Closed?
If your property sale has already closed within the last 3 years, you may still be able to recover withheld funds and resolve outstanding FIRPTA issues.
This applies to many foreign sellers who were not properly guided during the transaction.
🧾 Common Situations We See
You may still need assistance if:
-
FIRPTA withholding was sent to the IRS, but no tax return was filed to claim a refund
-
An ITIN application and/or tax return was submitted, but no response or results have been received
-
The party handling the filing (CPA, attorney, or other) has become unresponsive or unclear
-
You are unsure of the status of your refund or filings
⚠️ Important Timing Note
In most cases, you have up to 3 years from the original filing deadline to claim a refund.
Delays can reduce your ability to recover funds — so it’s important to act promptly.
