About the Program
FIRPTA is the IRS acronym for the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, 26 USC Sect. 897. It is becoming more common for foreign persons to own property in the United States. While there are no prohibitions on non-US citizens holding title to real
property, when those owners sell, they are subject to the same capital gains taxes as US citizens pay. Sellers and buyers, and their attorneys, need to know what to expect when dealing with a foreign seller and how to comply with the act’s requirements
that are imposed on the parties in the real estate transaction.
