FIRPTA & IRS Payments for Foreign Nationals

When selling your US property as a foreign national it is important to understand Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, also known as FIRPTA. This act is a US tax withholding of 15% of the property sale value that is sent to the IRS to ensure that all tax obligations are filled by the foreign seller of property. The seller can retrieve the funds through their annual tax filing. RYZR Global Advisory provides insured foreign exchange coordination for FIRPTA-related transfers and IRS cross-border payment obligations. Inbound IRS tax payments, and outbound IRS tax returns are facilitated with US bank accounts, registered specifically for these payments. Foreign Nationals don't have a domicile or US bank account, which allows us to register a bank account specifically for your US IRS tax obligations. Your tax return will be converted to your home currency, and sent to you within your currency account.
