Informational estimate only

This calculator estimates FIRPTA withholding for informational purposes only. It is not tax or legal advice and does not create a professional-client relationship.

Rules are simplified

FIRPTA rules, rate tiers and exceptions are summarized and simplified for clarity. The IRS governs. Actual withholding depends on the full facts of the transaction, the buyer's intended use, and proper documentation.

Consult a professional

FIRPTA transactions often require a qualified withholding agent or US tax advisor, especially when seeking a reduced rate via a withholding certificate (Form 8288-B). Do not rely solely on this tool for a real transaction.

Accuracy and changes

Tax rules and thresholds can change. We aim to keep the logic current, but we do not guarantee accuracy or timeliness. Always confirm current rules at irs.gov.

Affiliate links
