1. you were in the USA on F-1 visa ( yes? ), finished your OPT, have SSN and left the USA during the first quarter of 2020
YES
3. You jointly owned a property ( did you use it as your main home ? when did you acquire it ? how long did you both of you use it as main home ? ) and sold this in 2020. The title company withheld 15% of the sales price for federal taxes under FIRPTA and probably some amount for State ( what state ? ). You have proof of this withholding shown on HUD-1 ( settlement form ) and/or other documents
USED AS MY MAIN HOME FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS IN THE STATE OF COLORADO. I DO HAVE THE ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS AND THE AMOUNT THAT WAS WITHHELD.
My wife is in the US as of now, but she travel´s back and forth. Does the form 1040 is supported by turbo tax or I need to use another company?
The information above is correct but I am still a bit confused on how to move forward, I need to finish my taxes this week because of the due date. I have gone through the process on TurboTax and I am ready to submit filling jointly, just wanted to clarify my FIRPTA situation to understand if I can do anything to get this money back (Or part of it)
Showing my spouse as the ONLY owner of the property might be too late as the house has been sold and all the documents have been filed.
Maybe another question, since the house was sold in March of 2021, do I consider on my returns for 2020? Maybe we are discussiing something that can only be done next year. (BUT if I can do it with my 2020 income, that would be better)
