Instructions to Buyer
Complete this form if you buy real property located in North Carolina from a nonresident seller (individual,
partnership, estate, or trust). Within fifteen days of the closing date of the sale, you must file this report
with the North Carolina Department of Revenue, Central Examinations Section, P.O. Box 871, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27602-0871 and furnish a copy of this form to the seller.
Information for Seller
Any gain recognized for federal income tax purposes by a nonresident from the sale of real property
and its associated personal tangible property located in this State is also subject to North Carolina
income tax; therefore, a nonresident who sells real property located in North Carolina is required to file
a North Carolina individual income tax return and pay the tax on the portion of the federal taxable
income that represents the gain from the sale of the property.
The nonresident may also be liable for payment of estimated income tax on the gain to be recognized.
You must pay North Carolina estimated income tax if you expect to owe $1,000 or more and you expect
your withholding and tax credits for the current year to be less than 90 percent of the tax on the current
year tax return, or 100 percent of the tax on the prior year return. You do not have to pay estimated
income tax if you were not required to file a North Carolina return for the previous year. Partnerships,
estates, and trusts are not required to pay estimated income tax.
Additional information for reporting a gain from the sale of real property may be obtained by calling the
North Carolina Department of Revenue at 1-877-252-3052 (toll free). Forms and instructions for filing
an income tax return and paying estimated income tax may be obtained from our website
