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.
