A payoff request allows a third party to receive the current balance due to release a lien or facilitate a business transfer (bulk sale transfer or liquor license). To release a lien or facilitate a bulk sale transfer, businesses must be in good standing to receive a payoff request.
There's a process to getting the mortgage payoff statement. First, you'll need to contact your lender and let them know you want the information. Depending on your lender, you may have to sign in to an online account, call a helpline, or send a formal letter to start the request process.
A seller/transferor that qualifies for a full, partial, or no withholding exemption must file Form 593. Any remitter (individual, business entity, trust, estate, or REEP) who withheld on the sale/transfer of California real property must file Form 593 to report the amount withheld.
Does the seller have to do anything to document the facts supporting a claim for an exemption? Yes. The seller will be required to complete and sign, under penalty of perjury, Franchise Tax Board form 593C. If the seller is claiming a loss, the seller will also be required to complete Franchise Tax Board form 593E.
As the buyer, California law requires you to withhold on the sale of California real estate, unless a QI is involved in a deferred like-kind exchange. Once the REEP notifies you of your responsibility to withhold, you must fulfill your withholding requirement.
