Why Egyptian Real Estate Investors Need a US ITIN

FIRPTA withholding (15%) applies when selling US property — ITIN required
Rental income from US property must be reported — needs ITIN for Form 1040-NR
US–Egypt treaty: 5% interest rate on certain income types
ITIN required to file for FIRPTA withholding certificates
Enables claiming deductions on US rental property expenses

FIRPTA and US Real Estate for Egyptian Investors

FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) requires 15% withholding when a foreign person sells US real estate. Egyptian investors must have an ITIN to file FIRPTA-related tax forms and claim refunds on overpayment.

Additionally, rental income from US properties is taxable. Egyptian landlords must file Form 1040-NR annually — which requires an ITIN. The US–Egypt treaty provides favorable rates on certain income types from US real estate.
