Hello @DoninGA, Thanks for the reply.
Background: When selling the home we filed forms 8288 and 8288-A, along with mailing the FIRPTA withholding check to the IRS.
Follow up:
Your message states this would be for an Early Refund.
From online advice I had read of three ways to get your money back:
Option 1
File an application to reduce or even eliminate the withholding.
Option 2
File a request for early refund of the FIRPTA withholding.
Option 3
Accept the automatic withholding and wait until the following February/March and file a US tax return to claim a refund.
In this case we are looking at option number 3 in which the IRS already withheld FIRPTA. And we are looking to get it back along with filing our return during tax season. Is the process the same as you described already in your previous post?
