Avoid CA's 3.3% advance withholding tax...In Reply to: How to keep more of my profit. posted by Sara_CA on October 20, 2003 at 7:19 AM
: First of all, this is a great site and a great board. Thanks to Ward and all who posts here. I have learned a lot, and still a lot more to learn. Before I knew about the THT I bought a second home in my own name in April. After I have remodeled I encountered a financial downturn, and I need to pay back the family-borrowed down payment. My lowered income does not quality me for re-financing. So now I must sell. The short term profit will be $45K. I also will have a seasoning issue with the current lender. : Can you tell me where I can find the documents to acomplish each step? : Any and all help is always greatly appreciated. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Sara, One thing you should really try to avoid is the advance payment of your CA income tax upon the close of escrow. The 3.3% tax is levied on the gross sales price of the property! You can be exempt from the tax if the property is in a multi-member entity registered with the state of CA. before you open escrow. An exempt entity would be a corporation, a limited partnership, a limited liability company, etc. Unfortunately the title holding trust is not exempt.
