We help Canadians every step of the way through the selling process to ensure FIRPTA is managed correctly. We have a highly experienced team of tax professionals who will help you submit your FIRPTA withholdings, apply for a withholding certificate, and provide advice on how to reduce your U.S. tax liability.

We have negotiated exclusive discounted currency exchange rates for our Canadian clients through our partners at OFX, one of the world’s leading foreign exchange companies. If you sell a U.S. property and need to transfer a large lumpsum after your sale closes, our exclusive rates will save you thousands of dollars!

Submitting your FIRPTA withholdings is only the first step. You also need to file a U.S. tax return for the year in which you sell your property. Our cross border tax experts will help you file your U.S. tax return to ensure you receive any FIRPTA withholding refunds in a timely manor. We can also co-ordinate with your CPA in Canada to ensure you receive all the proper tax credits for your Canadian tax return.

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. Canadians need an ITIN when they submit FIRPTA withholdings and file a U.S. tax return. Our tax team will help you apply for and acquire an ITIN at the time of closing your sale.

In most U.S. states, title companies are used to facilitate the transfer of ownership for real estate transactions.

Our agents are also FIRPTA specialists and work with our CPA’s to ensure all sales and withholdings are processed correctly. Our clients receive 50% OFF their escrow fees to reduce your closing costs.
