Hello everyone,
Hope I´m still able to get a reply! @pk @DoninGA
I have a common situtation that I need some assitance. I am currently filling mine and my wife´s taxes through Turbo Taxes as I have for the past few years!
On February of last year (2020) I ended my employment with a company in the US and moved to Brazil where I reside. That´s where I am from but lived in the US for 11 years.
On March of this year (2021), we have sold our house in the US. Since I been living in the Brazil since last year, it was required for me to file Form 8821 & 8288-A for FIRPTA.
Now as I do my taxes, I am getting the feeling that maybe I did not have to do that as I have to file my taxes this year as a US resident. Could you please guide me on the best way to proceed and get the money that is being witheld by the IRS.
To also be clear, my work authorization ended on February which I wouldnt be eligible to be in the US legally.
Thank you for your time and assistance
