Seller Form

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may require a substantial portion of the Seller’s proceeds be withheld after Closing when Seller is a foreign person. If required withholding does not occur, the Buyer could be held liable for the amount of the Seller’s tax, interest and penalties. If the box in this Section of the Contract is checked, Seller represents that Seller IS a foreign person for purposes of U.S. income taxation. If the box in this Section is not checked, Seller represents that Seller is not a foreign person for purposes of U.S. income taxation. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and Closing Company to provide any reasonably requested documents to verify Seller’s foreign person status. If withholding is required, Seller authorizes Closing Company to withhold such amount from Seller’s proceeds. Seller should inquire with Seller’s tax advisor to determine if withholding applies or if an exemption exists.
