EP 18 - Unraveling the Mystery of FIRPTA Withholding and 1031 Exchanges

1031 Exchange transactions are complex and confusing, especially when adding a foreign seller to the equation that falls under the mandatory Federal FIRPTA withholding requirements. Our guest expert Michael W. Brooks, Esq., helps us demystify the mandatory Federal FIRPTA withholding requirements when a 1031 Exchange is involved. Discussion includes a breakdown of who falls under the mandatory Federal FIRPTA withholding requirements, how much FIRPTA withholding is required, how to obtain a Certificate of Exemption to the FIRPTA withholding requirements, and how FIRPTA withholding can complicate a 1031 Exchange transaction.
