Yes. If you mail your tax return you can include the Form 8288-B with your return as proof of Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) tax withholding. Include the amount in your tax return by using the steps below. This cannot be e-filed because you must attach your Form 8288-B.
- Sign into your TurboTax account > once inside the return select Deductions and Credits at the top
- Scroll to Estimate and Other Taxes Paid > Show More > Start/Revisit beside Income Taxes Paid > Scroll to Other Income Taxes Paid in 2021
- Continue to Start Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099
This will allow both federal and state additional withholding not entered in any other location.
For Future Use:
You can file a Form 843 (Claim for Refund), together with a Form 8288-B, to show the estimated tax on the sale. This is the IRS's official process for obtaining an early refund of FIRPTA withholding.
TurboTax does not support Form 843 or Form 8288-B.
