FIRPTA Forms Explained: 8288, 8288-A, and 8288-B

Foreign sellers of U.S. real estate are subject to FIRPTA income tax withholding. The IRS uses three key forms to report, document, and potentially reduce that withholding: Forms 8288, 8288-A, and 8288-B.

Form 8288 is the main FIRPTA withholding tax return.

  • Filed by the withholding agent 

  • Submitted within 20 days of closing

  • Sent to the IRS with the withheld tax payment

IRS Form 8288-A

Form 8288-A is the seller’s withholding statement.

  • Prepared and filed with Form 8288

  • One 8288-A is completed for each foreign seller

  • IRS stamps and returns a copy to the seller

IRS Form 8288-B

Form 8288-B is an application for a FIRPTA withholding certificate.

  • Filed by the foreign seller (often through a tax professional)
