Victoria, FTA (First Time Abatement) is a resource, however, if the penalty is not owed why burned that bridge? Like I posted a few months ago, the IRS is hiring hundreds of personnel and they are clueless, poorly trained and in some instances just plain lazy. We just had a case where the new IRS ...

Hi ALTA: Spring Break already!! Wow, time really flies, we are all busy and boy, foreign sellers are getting "creative" when it comes to attempt avoiding FIRPTA compliance, many are misguided into forming an "LLC's" that only create way more tax compliance, not knowing that in most cases, they are still ...

Oh, I love this, it gives us all an opportunity to stop and re-think, to me HUMBLENESS is probably the most important trait of a person, no matter how smart, proficient, achieved or even powerful a person might be, humbleness is very difficult to master and arrogance is always the louder voice. ...

Hello All As a result of all the confusion and controversy surrounding the electronic filing of 1099's many of you called our office asking, among others, one particular question. What do I do if I don't have a TIN to include on a 1099-S? The IRS has guidelines to issue an ITIN and the W7 application ...

Hi everyone, If you e-file the 1099-S, the due date is March 31st. The January 31st due date is for 1099-NEC filers. I have put together an excerpt of the relevant IRS guidance regarding 1099-S filing. We normally limit our practice to FIRPTA matters, however since we have been getting a lot of inquiries ...

Lorie, Is the LLC in question a "sole member LLC"? If so, you can issue the 1099 using the SSN or ITIN of the single member. If you have the SS-4 letter from the IRS, the information on what kind of LLC is in the letter, see example below. I hope this is useful ------------------------------ ...

Good morning ALTA: Beginning of the year we have to get 1099s out to everyone, and the title industry is not exception, if the seller of U.S. real estate property is/was foreign it has to be marked on box 5 of the 1099-S But what if the seller has an LLC? Remember, LLCs come in different forms but ...
