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
Generally, 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. Note: Federal regulations allow for the deferral of all or part of a gain that is
invested into a qualified Opportunity Fund under Internal Revenue Code section 1400Z-2. North Carolina did
not conform to the temporary deferral of income for certain gains timely invested in a qualified Opportunity Fund
under Internal Revenue Code section 1400Z-2. These gains are not deferred for North Carolina tax purposes
and must be included in determining a nonresident seller’s state tax payable. For additional details, see Form
D-401, North Carolina Individual Income Tax Instructions.
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 (www.ncdor.gov) or by calling 1-877-
252-3052 (toll free).
