Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee (buyer) of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor (seller) is a foreign person. To inform the transferee (buyer) that withholding of tax is not required upon my disposition of a U.S. real property interest, I, _____ (name of transferor) _____ , hereby certify the following:

1. I am not a nonresident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation;

2. My U.S. tax identifying number (Social Security number) is ______________ ; and

3. My home address is: _________________________________________________
  ____________________________________________________________ .

I understand that this certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement I have made here could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete.
