Withholding Guidelines. 2019 California Real Estate Forms and Instructions References in these instructions are to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as of January 1, 2015, and to the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC). What’s New Like-Kind Exchanges – The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) amended Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 1031 limiting its application to real property that is not primarily held for sale. Additionally, under the TCJA, exchanges of personal property and intangible property do not qualify for nonrecognition of gain or loss as like-kind exchanges. California does not conform to the amendments under the TCJA. For California purposes, IRC 1031 as it existed on January 1, 2015, applies. General Information Real Estate Withholding Requirement Withholding is required when California real estate is sold or transferred. The real estate escrow person (REEP) is required to notify buyers of withholding requirements, unless the buyer is a qualified intermediary (QI) in a deferred exchange. The amount withheld from the seller or transferor is sent to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) as required by R&TC Section 18662. Purpose Use the forms and instructions in this booklet for real estate sales or transfers closing in 2019. For more information about real estate withholding, get FTB Publication 1016, Real Estate Withholding Guidelines.

Installment Sales – The REEP reports the sale or transfer as an installment sale if there will be at least one payment made after the tax year of the sale. The withholding is 31/3% (.0333) of the down payment during escrow. Buyers/Transferees are required to withhold on the principal portion of all payments made following the close of the real estate transaction, unless an approval letter for electout method is received as described below. Elect Out of Subsequent Installment Payment Withholding – Sellers or transferors can elect to not report the sale on the installment method. If the seller/transferor chooses not to use the installment method, the seller/transferor generally reports the entire gain in the year of sale, even though the seller/transferor does not receive all the sale proceeds in that year. To do this, the seller/transferor must: • File a California income tax return and report the entire gain on Schedule D, California Capital Gain or Loss Adjustment, or D-1, Sale of Business Property. • Submit to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) a written request to release the buyer/transferee from withholding on subsequent installment payments after filing the income tax return and reporting the entire gain. The FTB will approve or deny the request within 30 days from when received. The buyer must continue to withhold until the FTB approves the request. For more information, get FTB 4010, Withholding on California Real Estate Installment Sales, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for installment sales. Registered Domestic Partners (RDP) – For purposes of California income tax, references to a spouse, husband, or wife also refer to a California RDP, unless otherwise specified. When we use the initials RDP they refer to both a California registered domestic “partner” and a California registered domestic “partnership,” as applicable. For more information on RDPs, get FTB Pub. 737, Tax Information for Registered Domestic Partners. Penalty Increase – Beginning on or after January 1, 2016, the penalties related to failure to file information returns increased. See General Information G, Interest and Penalties, or get FTB 1150, Withhold at Source Penalty Information, for more information. Use Form 593, Real Estate Withholding Tax Statement, to report real estate withholding on sales closing in 2019, installment payments made in 2019, or exchanges that were completed or failed in 2019. Use a separate Form 593 to report the amount withheld from each seller/transferor. If the sellers/transferors are married or RDPs and they plan to file a joint return, include both spouses/RDPs on the same Form 593. If the sellers/transferors are married or RDPs and they are entered as one seller/transferor, we treat them as having equal ownership interest. If the ownership interest is not equal, file separate Forms 593 for each seller/transferor to represent the correct ownership interest percentage. If the information submitted is incorrect, an amended Form 593 must be submitted. See General Information F, Amending Form 593, for more information. Use Form 593-V, Payment Voucher for Real Estate Withholding, to remit real estate withholding payments to the FTB. Submit Form 593-V when Form(s) 593 is submitted electronically or by mail. The REEP must use Form 593-V when remitting a payment by check or money order. Anyone (individual, business entity, trust, estate, or REEP) who withheld on the sale/transfer of California real property must file Form 593 to report the amount withheld. If this is an installment sale payment after escrow closed, then the buyer/transferee is the responsible person. Page 6   Real Estate W/H Forms Booklet 2018 B Helpful Hints Taxable Year – The taxable year at the top of Form 593 must match the taxable year on line 2. See instructions for line 2. We cannot process a Form 593 with an incorrect taxable year. To avoid processing delays, go to ftb.ca.gov/forms to get the correct taxable year Form 593. Identification Numbers – Check to see that the REEP and seller’s/transferor's identification numbers are correct and listed in the same order as the names. If both a husband/RDP and wife/RDP are listed, make sure both social security numbers (SSNs) or individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITINs) are listed in the same order as their names. Trusts and Trustees – It is important to report the correct name and identification number when title is held in the name of a trust. If the seller/transferor is a trust, see the Specific Instructions for Part II, Seller/Transferor Information. Preparer’s Name and Title/Escrow Business Name – Provide the preparer’s name and title/escrow’s business name and phone number. D When and Where to File You will need the original completed Form 593 and two copies: • File the original Form 593, along with completed Form 593-V and the withholding payment. Mail to the address shown in this section. • Provide one copy to the seller/transferor within 20 days following the end of the month in which the transaction closed. • Retain one copy for the REEP's records for a minimum of five years. Provide to the FTB upon request. For installment sales, submit the following at the close of the real estate transaction: • Form 593. • Form 593-I, Real Estate Withholding Installment Sale Acknowledgement. • Form 593-V with the amount withheld on the down payment. • A copy of the promissory note. When making installment payments following the close of the real estate transaction, withhold either 31/3% (.0333) of the total sales price, or the Optional Gain on Sale withholding percentage on the principle portion of each installment payment, as specified by the seller/transferor on Form 593. File only a completed current year Form 593 and Form 593-V with each withholding payment. For example, if you withhold on a payment to a seller on June 1, 2019, then use a 2019 Form 593 and Form 593-V. Form 593-I, a copy of the promissory note, and the seller’s/transferor’s signature are not required. Mail to: WITHHOLDING SERVICES AND COMPLIANCE MS F182 FRANCHISE TAX BOARD PO BOX 942867 SACRAMENTO CA 94267-0651 E Electronic Filing Requirements Form 593 information may be filed with the FTB electronically, using FTB’s Secure Web Internet File Transfer (SWIFT). However, the REEP must provide the seller/transferor with a copy of Form 593. For installment sales, the REEP must also mail a completed Form 593-I and a copy of the promissory note to the FTB with the down payment only. For electronic filing, submit your file using the SWIFT process as outlined in FTB Pub. 923, Secure Web Internet File Transfer (SWIFT) Guide for Resident, Nonresident, and Real Estate Withholding. For the required file format and record layout for electronic filing, get FTB Pub. 1023R, Real Estate Withholding Electronic Submission Requirements. If you are the preparer for more than one REEP, provide a separate electronic file for each REEP. For electronic filing of Form 593, mail your payment along with Form 593-V. Electronic signatures shall be considered as valid as the originals. F Amending Form 593 If an error is discovered after the withholding agent files Form 593, then the REEP files an amended Form 593 to correct the error. An amended Form 593 can only be filed by the REEP. If a seller/transferor notices an error, then they contact the REEP. Important: For assistance to correct error(s), prepare, and file amended forms, call Withholding Services and Compliance at 888.792.4900 or 916.845.4900. If you previously filed with a correct taxable year form, but reported incorrect information, then follow the steps below: 1. Complete a new Form 593 with the same taxable year form as originally filed. • Check the “Amended” box at the top left corner of the form. • Enter all the correct withholding and seller/transferor information. Do not enter negative numbers. • Attach a letter to the back of the form to explain your reasons for the corrections. • Keep the original Form 593 for your records. 2. Mail the amended form and attached letter to the address shown under General Information D, When and Where to File. To amend a Form 593 previously filed using an incorrect year form, call us for assistance. Whenever an amended Form 593 is filed with the FTB, provide a copy to the seller/transferor. Do not file an amended Form 593 to cancel the withholding amount for a Form 593‑C, Real Estate Withholding Certificate, filed after the close of the real estate transaction. After escrow has closed, amounts withheld may be recovered only by claiming the withholding as a credit on the appropriate year’s tax return. Get Form 593-C for more information. G Interest and Penalties Interest will be assessed on late withholding payments and is computed from the due date to the date paid. If the REEP does not notify the buyer/transferee, other than a QI, of the withholding requirements in writing, the penalty is the greater of $500 or 10% of the required withholding. If after notification, the buyer/transferee, unless the buyer is a QI in a deferred exchange, does not withhold, the penalty is the greater of $500 or 10% of the required withholding. If the REEP does not furnish complete and correct copies of Form 593 to the seller/transferor by the due date, the penalty is $100 per Form 593. If the failure is due to an intentional disregard of the requirement, the penalty is the greater of $250 or 10% of the required withholding. We assess a penalty for failure to file complete, correct, and timely information returns. The penalty is calculated per seller: • $30 if filed 1 to 30 days after the due date. • $60 if filed 31 days to 6 months after the due date. • $100 if filed more than 6 months after the due date. (R&TC Section 19183) If the failure is due to an intentional disregard of the requirement, the penalty is the greater of $250 or 10% of the required withholding. For more information, get FTB 1150. Penalties referenced in this section will be assessed unless it is shown that the failure to notify, withhold, or timely furnish returns was due to reasonable cause. Specific Instructions Instructions for Seller/Transferor This withholding of tax does not relieve you of the requirement to file a California income tax return and report the sale. You may be assessed penalties if: • You do not file a tax return. • You file your tax return late. • The amount of withholding does not satisfy your tax liability. How to Claim the Withholding To claim the withholding credit you must file a California tax return. Report the sale or transfer as required. Enter the amount from Form 593, line 5, Amount Withheld from this Seller/Transferor, on your California tax return as withholding from Form(s) 592‑B , Resident and Nonresident Withholding Tax Statement, or 593. If your filing status changed after escrow closed and before filing your California tax return, please call Withholding Services and Compliance at 888.792.4900 or 916.845.4900 prior to filing your tax return for instructions on how to claim your withholding credit. Claim your withholding credit on one of the following: • Form 540, California Resident Income Tax Return • Form 540NR Long, California Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return • Form 541, California Fiduciary Income Tax Return • Form 100, California Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return • Form 100S, California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return • Form 100W, California Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return – Water’s-Edge Filers • Form 109, California Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return • Form 565, Partnership Return of Income • Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of Income Attach one copy of Form(s) 593 to the lower front of your California tax return. Make a copy for your records. If withholding was done for a failed exchange or on boot in the year following the year the property was sold, the withholding is shown as a credit for the taxable year the withholding occurred since you qualify for installment sale reporting. If you elect to report the gain in the year the property was sold, instead of in the year you received the payment, contact Withholding Services and Compliance at 888.792.4900 or 916.845.4900 prior to filing your California tax return for instructions to have the credit transferred to the prior year. Instructions for Withholding Agent Taxable Year – The taxable year at the top of Form 593 must match the taxable year on line 2. See instructions for line 2.

General Information Specific Instructions In general, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, California law conforms to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as of January 1, 2015. However, there are continuing differences between California and federal law. When California conforms to federal tax law changes, we do not always adopt all of the changes made at the federal level. For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for conformity. Additional information can be found in FTB Pub. 1001, Supplemental Guidelines to California Adjustments, the instructions for California Schedule CA (540 or 540NR), and the Business Entity tax booklets. Like-Kind Exchanges – For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, California requires taxpayers who exchange property located in California for like-kind property located outside of California, and meet all of the requirements of the IRC Section 1031, to file an annual information return with the Franchise Tax Board (FTB). For more information, get form FTB 3840, California Like-Kind Exchanges, or go to ftb.ca.gov and search for like kind. Private Mail Box (PMB) – Include the PMB in the address field. Write “PMB” first, then the box number. Example: 111 Main Street PMB 123. Foreign Address – Follow the country’s practice for entering the city, county, province, state, country, and postal code, as applicable, in the appropriate boxes. Do not abbreviate the country name. A Purpose Use Form 593-C, Real Estate Withholding Certificate, to certify that you qualify for a full or partial withholding exemption. Qualifying for an exemption from withholding or being withheld upon does not relieve you of your obligation to file a California income tax return and pay any tax due on the sale of California real estate. You may be assessed penalties if: •• You do not file a tax return. •• You file your tax return late. •• The amount of withholding does not satisfy your tax liability. The seller/transferor must submit this form before the close of the real estate transaction to prevent withholding on the transaction. After the real estate transaction has closed, amounts withheld may be recovered only by claiming the withholding as a credit on the appropriate year’s tax return. B How to Claim the Withholding To claim the withholding credit, you must file a California tax return. Report the sale or transfer as required, and enter the amount from line 5, Amount Withheld from this Seller/Transferor, of Form 593, Real Estate Withholding Tax Statement, on your California tax returns as withholding from Form(s) 592-B or 593. If your filing status changed after escrow closed and before filing your California tax return, call the Withholding Services and Compliance phone service at 888.792.4900 or 916.845.4900 for instructions on how to claim your withholding credit. Claim your withholding credit on one of the following: •• Form 540, California Resident Income Tax Return •• Form 540NR Long, California Nonresident or Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return •• Form 541, California Fiduciary Income Tax Return •• Form 100, California Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return •• Form 100S, California S Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return •• Form 100W, California Corporation Franchise or Income Tax Return – Water’s-Edge Filers •• Form 109, California Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return •• Form 565, Partnership Return of Income •• Form 568, Limited Liability Company Return of Income Page 12  Real Estate W/H Forms Booklet 2018 Part I – Seller/Transferor Information Enter the name, tax identification number, and address of the seller/transferor. If the seller/transferor does not provide a tax identification number, then Form 593-C is void, and withholding is required. Note: If you choose to provide a copy of Form 593-C to the buyer/transferee, delete the seller’s/transferor’s tax identification number on the buyer’s/transferee’s copy. If the seller/transferor is an individual, enter the social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). If the sellers/transferors are spouses/registered domestic partners (RDPs) and plan to file a joint return, enter the name and SSN or ITIN for each spouse/RDP. Otherwise, do not enter information for more than one seller/transferor. Instead, complete a separate Form 593‑C for each seller/transferor. If you do not have an SSN because you are a nonresident or a resident alien for federal tax purposes, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued you an ITIN, enter the ITIN in the space provided for the SSN. An ITIN is a tax processing number issued by the IRS to individuals who have a federal tax filing requirement and do not qualify for an SSN. It is a nine-digit number that always starts with the number 9. If the seller/transferor is a business, enter the business name in the name field along with the federal employer identification number (FEIN), CA Corporation number (CA Corp no.), or CA Secretary of State (CA SOS) file number. If the seller/transferor is a grantor trust, enter the grantor’s individual name and SSN. For tax purposes, the grantor trust is disregarded and the individual seller/transferor must report the sale and claim the withholding on their individual tax return. If the trust was a grantor trust that became irrevocable upon the grantor’s death, enter the name of the trust and the trust’s FEIN. Do not enter the decedent’s or trustee’s name or SSN. If the seller/transferor is a non-grantor trust, enter the name of the trust and the trust’s FEIN. Do not enter trustee information. If the seller/transferor is a single member limited liability company (SMLLC), enter the name and tax identification number of the single member. For all other non-individual sellers/transferors, enter the FEIN, CA Corp no., or CA SOS file number. Ownership Percentage Enter your ownership percentage rounded to two decimal places (e.g. 66.67%). If you are on the title for incidental purposes and you have no financial ownership, enter 0.00 and skip to Seller/Transferor Signature. You will not be withheld upon. Examples of sellers/transferors who are on title for incidental purposes are: •• Co-signers on title (e.g., parents co-signed to help their child qualify for the loan). •• Family members on title to receive property upon the owner’s death. Property Address Enter the address of the CA real property transferred. If no street address, enter the parcel number and county. Part II – Certifications Which Fully Exempt the Sale From Withholding Line 1 through Line 9 Check all boxes that apply to the property being sold or transferred. Line 1 – Principal Residence To qualify as your principal residence under IRC Section 121, you (or the decedent) generally must have owned and lived in the property as your main home for at least two years during the five-year period ending on the date of sale. Military and Foreign Service, get FTB Pub. 1032, Tax Information for Military Personnel. You can have only one main home at a time. If you have two homes and live in both of them, the main home is the one you lived in most of the time. There are exceptions to the two-year rule if the primary reason you are selling the home is for a change in the place of employment, health, or unforeseen circumstances such as death, divorce or termination of registered domestic partnership, or loss of job, etc. For more information about what qualifies as your principal residence or exceptions to the two-year rule, get federal Publication 523, Selling Your Home. To get federal publications, go to irs.gov, or call 800.829.3676. If only a portion of the property qualifies as your principal residence, a second Form 593-C will need to be completed to certify an exemption on the portion not used as a principal residence. The allocation method should be the same as the seller/transferor used to determine depreciation. Line 2 – Property last used as your principal residence If the property was last used as the seller’s/transferor’s, or decedent’s principal residence within the meaning of IRC Section 121 without regard to the two-year time period, no withholding is required. If the last use of the property was as a vacation home, second home, or rental, you do not qualify for the exemption. You must have lived in the property as your main home. If you have two homes and live in both of them, the main home is the one you lived in most of the time. Line 3 – Loss or Zero Gain You have a loss or zero gain for California income tax purposes when the amount realized is less than or equal to your adjusted basis. You must complete Form 593-E, Real Estate Withholding – Computation of Estimated Gain or Loss, and have a loss or zero gain on line 16 to certify that the transaction is fully exempt from withholding. You may not certify that you have a net loss or zero gain just because you do not receive any proceeds from the sale or because you feel you are selling the property for less than what it is worth. Line 4 – Involuntary Conversion The property is being involuntarily or compulsorily converted when both of the following apply: •• The California real property is transferred because it was (or threatened to be) seized, destroyed, or condemned within the meaning of IRC Section 1033. •• The seller/transferor intends to acquire property that is similar or related in service or use in order to be eligible for nonrecognition of gain for California income tax purposes. Get federal Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets, for more information about involuntary conversions. Line 5 – Non-recognition Under IRC Section 351 or 721 The transfer must qualify for nonrecognition treatment under IRC Section 351 (transfer to a corporation controlled by transferor) or IRC Section 721 (contribution to a partnership in exchange for a partnership interest). Line 6 – Corporation A corporation has a permanent place of business in California when it is organized and existing under the laws of California or it has qualified through the CA SOS to transact intrastate business. A corporation not qualified to transact intrastate business (such as a corporation engaged exclusively in interstate commerce) will be considered as having a permanent place of business in California only if it maintains an office in California that is permanently staffed by its employees after the sale. S corporations must withhold on nonresident S corporation shareholders. Get FTB Pub. 1017, Resident and Nonresident Withholding Guidelines, for more information. Line 7 – Partnership or Limited Liability Company (LLC) Partnerships and LLCs are required to withhold on nonresident partners and members. Withholding is not required if the title to the property transferred is recorded in the name of a California partnership or it is qualified to do business in California. Withholding is not required if the title to the property transferred is in the name of an LLC, and the LLC meets both of the following: •• It is classified as a partnership for federal and California income tax purposes. •• It is not an SMLLC that is disregarded for federal and California income tax purposes. If the LLC meets these conditions, the LLC must still withhold on nonresident members. Get FTB Pub. 1017 for more information. If the SMLLC is classified as a corporation for federal and California income tax purposes, then the seller/transferor is considered a corporation for withholding purposes. Refer to Line 6. If the LLC is an SMLLC that is disregarded for federal and California income tax purposes, then that single member is considered the seller/transferor and title to the property is considered to be in the name of the single member for withholding purposes. When completing Form 593-C as the single member of a disregarded LLC, write on the bottom of the form that the information on the form is for the single member of the LLC, so the Real Estate Escrow Person (REEP) will understand why it is different from the recorded title holder. If the single member is: Complete Form 593-C using: An individual The individual’s information A corporation The corporation’s information A partnership The partnership’s information An LLC The single member’s information Line 8 – Tax-Exempt Entity Withholding is not required if the seller/transferor is tax-exempt under either California or federal law (e.g., religious, charitable, educational, not for profit organizations, etc.). Line 9 – Insurance Company, Individual Retirement Account, Qualified Pension or Profit-Sharing Plan, or Charitable Remainder Trust Withholding is not required when the seller/transferor is an insurance company, individual retirement account, qualified pension or profitsharing plan, or a charitable remainder trust. Real Estate W/H Forms Booklet 2018  Page 13 Part III – Certifications That May Partially or Fully Exempt the Sale From Withholding Complete Part III only if you did not meet any of the exemptions in Part II. Line 10 – Simultaneous Exchange If the California real property is part of a simultaneous like-kind exchange within the meaning of IRC Section 1031, the transfer is exempt from withholding. However, if the seller/transferor receives money or other property (in addition to property that is a part of the like-kind exchange) exceeding $1,500 from the sale, the REEP must withhold. Line 11 – Deferred Exchange If the California real property is part of a deferred like-kind exchange within the meaning of IRC Section 1031, the sale is exempt from withholding at the time of the initial transfer. However, if the seller/transferor receives money or other property (in addition to property that is a part of the like‑kind exchange) exceeding $1,500 from the sale, the qualified intermediary must withhold. If the exchange does not take place or if the exchange does not qualify for nonrecognition treatment, the intermediary or accommodator must withhold 31/3% (.0333) of the total sales price. Line 12 – Installment Sale The REEP reports the sale or transfer as an installment sale if there will be at least one payment made after the tax year of the sale. The withholding is 31/3% (.0333) of the down payment during escrow. Buyers/Transferees are required to withhold on the principal portion of all payments made following the close of the real estate transaction unless an approval letter for the elect-out method is received. When the withholding amount on the down payment is sent to the FTB, the FTB must also receive a completed Form 593‑I, Real Estate Withholding Installment Sale Acknowledgement, a completed Form 593, and a copy of the promissory note. Seller/Transferor Signature You must complete and sign this form and return it to your REEP by the close of the real estate transaction for it to be valid. Otherwise, the REEP must withhold the full 31/3% (.0333) of the total sales price or the optional gain on sale withholding amount from line 5 of Form 593 that is certified by the seller/transferor, only for the optional gain on sale election. Penalty – Any seller/transferor who, for the purpose of avoiding the withholding requirements, knowingly executes a false certificate is liable for a penalty of $1,000 or 20% of the required withholding amount, whichever is greater.
