Abstract: As a means of assuring payment of taxes under section 897, section 1445(a) requires the transferee of a U.S. real property interest to withhold 10 percent of the amount realized by the foreign person on the disposition of the U.S. real property interest. Other provisions of section 1445 require withholding on certain distributions by certain entities. This revenue procedure provides a simplified method for taxpayers to request relief for late filings under sections 1.897–2(g)(1)(ii)(A), 1.897–2(h), 1.1445–2(c)(3)(i), 1.1445–2(d)(2), 1.1445–5(b)(2), and 1.1445–5(b)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations.
