The Hamptons
Southampton and East Hampton second homes held by foreign sellers.
If you're a foreign owner selling property in Long Island, FIRPTA Solutions prepares your ITIN, files your Form 8288-B withholding certificate, and recovers your refund — coordinating directly with your local title company and closing attorney so the 15% IRS withholding reflects real tax owed, not the gross sale price.
When a foreign person sells U.S. real estate, the buyer must generally withhold 15% of the gross sale price for the IRS at closing. FIRPTA Solutions manages the full process for Long Island sellers — ITIN, Form 8288-B withholding certificate, and the non-resident return that recovers any overpayment.
We handle every step: ITIN applications · withholding certificates · FIRPTA remittance · hard case resolution.
