HARPTA Waiver or Reduction
We are able to build a convincing case that will allow a qualifying nonresident seller to get a complete HARPTA waiver, or in some cases, we may help get your HARPTA withholding substantially reduced.
FIRPTA
Foreign sellers of Hawaii real estate are usually subject to both state and federal withholdings. Let us help guide you through the process of retrieving the money you are owed.
Early HARPTA Refund
If HARPTA is withheld, we can file the forms for our clients to receive an early, tentative refund. It's ALWAYS better to get your money back sooner than later!
Tax Compliance and "Catch-Up"
To get a HARPTA waiver or refund, the state requires property owners to be current with all general excise, transient accommodations and income tax filings. If you need help, we will be glad to assist.
Military Sellers
We cite federal tax rules to eliminate the HARPTA withholding requirement for Military sellers who do not declare Hawaii as their state of residency.
Phone Consultations
Every tax situation is unique, and when facing complicated tax rules, it's often tough to know how to make good decisions. If you need to speak to someone about HARPTA to get some answers, call us. Phone consultations are free.
