Hey @DianeW777 

thank you so so much for making time to reply my message.

I promise this should be the last follow up question,

so just to clarify

i did my tax for 2022 and have received my return. However,

i sold my condo on january 20th 2023. So , i should be expecting to send my 8288-A  copy B along with my tax return for next year tax return.

I have plenty of time until next year since my condo was sold on 2023. I have until around end of january 2024 to file my 2023 tax return.

i know that i should be expecting my refund around mid to end 2024 (after i file my 2023 tax return)

but my question is, since i sold my condo on january 2023, when should i be expecting to have a mailed and stamped copy of my 8288-A copy B ? I’m a bit anxious since i havent received them while my closing attorney have filed and send 8288 to Utah since january 2023, and now is already march.

I know i have until end of 2023 before i need them. But just wondering when will i receive the 8288-A copy B. Thank you so much for ur help!!!! @DianeW777

The time frame is uncertain as to when you will receive your form from the IRS due to the delays on their part since COVID.  Here are the instructions and it wouldn't hurt to get a copy from your withholding agent just so you do have a copy for your records until you receive the one stamped from the IRS.

• Copy B will be stamped by the IRS and sent to the foreign person subject to withholding if the form is complete, including the transferor’s taxpayer identification number (TIN).

If necessary, later in the year, you can always try the  Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS).  They are in place to assist in situations where you are unable to obtain resolution on your own.

1. You can click here to begin: TAS Qualifier Tool. or 
2. Submit a request for assistance - Form 911 Request for TAS Assistance (instructions are included)
3. Locate the local TAS Office for your area

This will get the process started for you.  It's not going to be a fast process because they are handling a large volume at this time. 

If you do not hear from TAS within one week of submitting Form 911, contact the Taxpayer Advocate office where you originally submitted your request. Incomplete information or requests submitted to a Taxpayer Advocate office outside of your geographical location may result in delays.
