Hello Alta members!!
Back in June I posted about having an LLC to avoid FIRPTA, this week we have had a couple inquiries about this topic and I thought I should share the information again.
WHAT IF THE SELLER IS A DOMESTIC LLC?
Single-Member LLC: A single-member domestic limited liability company, while a recognized legal entity, is considered a "Disregarded Entity" for tax purposes. So, if the seller is a single-member limited liability company, then you have to look to the identity of the sole member of the limited liability company. If the sole member is a "Foreign Person," then the FIRPTA withholding rules apply in the same manner as if the foreign sole member was the seller.
