Form 593, also known as the “Real Estate Withholding Certificate,” is a document used in California real estate transactions. It serves as a mechanism for the collections of state income tax on the gain from the sale or transfer of real property.
The Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate (DE 4) is for California Personal Income Tax (PIT) withholding purposes only. The DE 4 is used to compute the amount of taxes to be withheld from your wages, by your employer, to accurately reflect your state tax withholding obligation.
As of January 1, 2020, California real estate withholding changed. We now have one Form 593, Real Estate Withholding Statement , which is filed with FTB after every real estate transaction. For more information on how to complete Form 593, see: Form 593 Instructions, Real Estate Withholding Statement.
