Is the escrow officer responsible for processing Forms 592 and 592-B?
No. Generally, the real estate escrow person processes Form 593. When a pass-through entity is a recipient of Form 593 and the withholding credit must “flow-through”, the withholding credit is allocated using Forms 592 and 592-B. See Publication 1017, Resident and Nonresident Withholding Guidelines, for more information.
