Deductions & credits

Yes, you can file a form 843 per following instructions to receive a refund. Here is a link to download the form. 

 

You would file a form 8288-B to Apply for Withholding Certificate for Dispositions by Foreign Persons of U.S. Real Property Interests so that you won't be burdened in paying the FIRPTA tax again if you decide to broaden your US property interests.  Here is a link to download the form.

 

It is best to fill out these forms and mail these to the IRS or else if you download and print these forms then send in with your return, you will need to print and mail your entire return.  This why I suggest  to electronically file your return and then send these forms in separately because Turbo Tax does not support neither one of these forms for efiling.
