How does the new tax law for homes that close after 1/1/2003 effect me?
For Your Information 2003 TAX LAW CHANGES: In addition to nonresident individuals and non-individuals, withholding is now required when resident individuals sell California real property and the escrow closes on or after January 1, 2003. This new tax law may require that you withhold a certain portion of your proceeds at close of escrow. Please consult with a certified tax account to determine how any new tax laws may affect the sale of your property.
