Hi all! I hope everyone's tax season is off to a great start. I have an interesting case and would like some support and guidance on how to approach this: The client has a FIRPTA withholding from a sale of real estate property. The client did have their green card at the time, but at the closing still needed to file a 8288 withholding, for some reason according to the lawyer. They now want to get their withholding back and need to file a 1040NR, however they had their green cards, and I cannot file a 1040NR and need to file a 1040. What approach should I take in this scenario?

As you know, 1040 is the correct form for your client to file.
You'll probably have to file on paper and attach the 8288-A and an explanation. I don't think the 1040 will efile with 8288-A withholding. It will probably take a long time and correspondence before client gets the refund.
The more I know, the more I don't know.
