Here's What Foreign Sellers Need to Know!
If you’re a foreign investor or non-U.S. resident planning to sell real estate in Florida, it’s important to understand your tax obligations under FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act). FIRPTA requires up to 15% of the property’s sale price to be withheld for tax purposes by the IRS — but with the right FIRPTA tax guidance, you may reduce or even avoid this withholding. Our team helps international property owners with FIRPTA withholding certificates, IRS form preparation, and refund processing.

Recognized By
CERTIFIED ACCEPTANCE AGENT designated by the IRS
We can certify documents to help you obtain a Tax ID or ITIN, which also facilitates the FIRPTA process. We are authorized to assist individuals and other foreign persons who do not qualify for a Social Security Number but still need a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to file a U.S. tax return. If you’re a non-U.S. resident selling U.S. real estate, an ITIN is required to file a U.S. tax return, apply for a FIRPTA withholding certificate, and claim a refund on withheld amounts.
