Non-Resident Housing Withholding Tax
If you are a foreigner who owns real estate in the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will tax your US real estate income. Foreigners who sell U.S. real estate will also have a withholding tax of up to 15% of the sale price. Because the US tax laws are complicated, we can help you correctly calculate the actual housing withholding tax that you need to pay, and apply for possible withholding certificate. We can help you arrange tax declaration and payment on time to avoid the trouble of possible late fines. If you have paid withholding tax, we can help you file your tax return and apply for a tax refund.
