What is the Maryland non-resident seller transfer withholding tax exemption form?

Yes, a nonresident transferor/seller can submit an Application for Certificate of Full or Partial Exemption (Form MW506AE) to the Comptroller requesting that the withholding amount be calculated based on the capital gain.

What is a certificate of foreign status?

Form W8-BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for U.S. Tax Withholding, is used by a foreign person to establish both foreign status and beneficial ownership, and to claim income tax treaty benefits with respect to income other than compensation for personal services.

What is a certificate that seller is not a foreign person?

This Standard Document is delivered by the owner of a seller that is a disregarded entity in a stock or asset sale to inform the buyer that the sellers owner is not a foreign (non-US) individual or entity and therefore not subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA).

What does FIRPTA mean for a seller?

The disposition of a U.S. real property interest by a foreign person (the transferor) is subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA) income tax withholding. FIRPTA authorized the United States to tax foreign persons on dispositions of U.S. real property interests.

Who is responsible for determining whether the seller is a foreign person or entity?

The buyer (transferee) of the U.S. real property interest is the withholding agent. The transferee must determine if the transferor is a foreign person. If the transferor is a foreign person and the transferee fails to withhold, the transferee may be held liable for the tax.

What if a seller is classified as a foreign person?

This is the law known as FIRPTA- the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. So when a foreign party sells US real estate, the buyer (via the escrow company or settlement agent in most states), must withhold a significant amount of the sales price, and (probably) send it into the IRS.

What is IRS code 1445 foreign person?

Except as otherwise provided in this section, in the case of any disposition of a United States real property interest (as defined in section 897(c)) by a foreign person, the transferee shall be required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 15 percent of the amount realized on the disposition.

What is a non-foreign affidavit?

Whenever you sell real property in the United States, the buyer will require you to sign a FIRPTA affidavit swearing that you are or are not a foreign person.
