The traditional mortgage is only for stationary property. It's suited for long-term real estate investments. Chattel loans are for property that can be easily moved. They're also an option for borrowers who want their loans approved faster and with shorter repayment times.
You may reduce the amount of tax withheld from your wages by claiming one additional withholding allowance for each $1,000, or fraction of $1,000, by which you expect your estimated deductions for the year to exceed your allowable standard deduction.
An Alternative Calculated Amount can also be used. The amount is withheld by the Settlement Agent from the Seller's account at the closing of the transaction and sent to the Franchise Tax Board (FTB). The amount is considered a “prepayment” of income taxes on the potential gain.
The seller/transferor must complete and sign this form and return it to your REEP or remitter by the close of the real estate transaction for it to be valid. The buyer/transferee is not required to sign Form 593 when no exemptions apply.
To calculate the withholding using the Alternative Withholding Calculation Method, also known as the Optional Gain on Sale Election Method, multiply the estimated gain calculated on Form 593, Part VI, by the seller's or transferor's maximum tax rate. To find the current maximum tax rates, go to ftb.ca/Tax-Rates .
Form 593-C is typically required when the seller of real property in California is a non-resident individual, trust, estate, or a single-member limited liability company (LLC) that is disregarded for tax purposes.
How is the AMT calculated? The AMT is the excess of the tentative minimum tax over the regular tax. Thus, the AMT is owed only if the tentative minimum tax for the year is greater than the regular tax for that year. The tentative minimum tax is figured separately from the regular tax.
