Hello. My name is Boots, and I’m a male member of

Is Your Seller a Maryland Resident?

Is  Your Seller a Maryland Resident?

Being wonderfully busy with new listings, this question needs to be addressed. Is Your Seller a Maryland Resident?
                                         
   Tax Alert-- Change in Maryland Withholding Tax
                                     

Effective June 1, 2012, the Maryland tax rate applicable to withholding on a sale or transfer of real property by a non resident of the state, will increase 7%
Since I am not an attorney or an accountant, I let a professional, like  Jeff Margolies , answer in the form of this newsletter. 

Newsletter 
Effective June 1, 2012, the Maryland tax rate applicable to withholding on a sale or transfer of real property by a nonresident individual will increase, as follows:

 Ø      Nonresident Individuals -  7.00 percent  
 Ø      Nonresident Entities  - 8.25 percent  (remains the same) 

Some of you have asked me what constitutes a Resident.   Below is the most common question that I have been receiving, and my answer: 
Question:  I have customers that recently moved from Maryland and currently live out-of- state.  They are selling their former home.  Since they no longer live in the State of Maryland, do they have to pay withholding taxes?
Answer:  Certain transfers are exempt from the payment of Maryland withholding taxes.  One of them is the sale of a principal residence.  The Office of the Comptroller regulations define principal residence as described in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. §121) and listed as a principal residence with the State of Maryland.  According to the IRS, if the real estate was used as the seller(s) primary residence for at least two years (2) during the five year (5) period ending with the date of the sale, then the gain from the sale is exempt from being included in gross income.  Currently that amount is $250,000.00 for individuals and $500,000.00 for married couples filing a joint return.

According to MD TAX-GENERAL Code Ann. § 10-912, in order to obtain the exemption in Maryland, the transferor(s) must sign a certification under penalties of perjury that the property being transferred is their principal residence.  The certification must be recorded together with the instrument transferring the property. 

§ 10-912 (d)  Exceptions.- Subsection (c) of this section does not apply when: 

 (5) a certification under penalties of perjury that the property being transferred is the transferor's principal residence is provided by each transferor in:  

 (i) the recitals or the acknowledgment of the deed or other instrument of writing transferring the property to the transferee; or  

 (ii) an affidavit signed by the transferor or by an agent of the transferor that accompanies and is recorded with the deed or other instrument of writing transferring the property; 


At Supreme Title Company, this is accomplished by having the sellers sign the form entitled “Certificate of Exemption from Withholding-MD”, which is then recorded with the Deed.


Please remember…

Each tax situation is unique.  Since Supreme Title Company cannot give legal or tax advice, customers should consult with a tax professional before moving forward. 
For more information regarding withholding see the Comptroller of Maryland’s page at: http://individuals.marylandtaxes.com.

Sell the Sizzle Not the Snake!

  Sell the Sizzle Not the Snake!



 This was NOT Supposed to Be at the Showing! Just like..No One Was Supposed to Be At Home! 


It was minutes after I  finished showing the interested buyers my new listing at 223 Delight Meadows when a call came from the buyer's agent still on the property.

"Please come outside!"

I thought he wanted to discuss an offer for the property. Instead he pointed to the edge of the driveway and the yard.

   "Look At This Snake!"


                          Snake HomeRome

My first words, probably not what you would expect, " What a beautiful animal. Watch it until I get my camera."

I then knew what my next blog post would be.

Go Figure! Simple Use For My iPad

Go Figure!  Simple Use For My iPad.

 

Of course everyone has a calculator. They are on their smart phones or watches or cute little gadgets. But the most useful one is on my iPad and is one of my most used apps.

Why? Just look at the size!


                                      iPad Calculator


At a settlement today where siblings were selling the parents home, three of them were figuring out expenses and how to divide the proceeds. 

I watched one use a regular calculator, another their iPhone and yet another paper and pencil.  (Yes... there are still some people who can add, subtract, multiply and divide the old fashioned way.)

The problem... they kept coming up with different numbers.

I opened my iPad calculator which is big enough for everyone to see. I let them call out the numbers and then hit the add and divide buttons. Within a few seconds, they had the answer they were looking for. And it matched the proceeds that was on the HUD 1.

Go Figure!  Simple Use For My iPad.

Do you have a simple, but useful, app to share?

We had a charming guest of honor.. Jeff Dowler  

 It was a wonderfully busy Thursday for me. There was a ratified contract, a home inspection and the need to get to Annapolis by 6:30 for the ActiveRain meeting with Jeff Dowler.

That is definitely rush hour traffic but good planning made the drive a pleasure. Bridget McGee and I drove down together.  

The setting was beautiful for our dinner at the Severn Inn in Annapolis with the Naval Academy as  a back-drop.

                   
                                                      Jeff Dowler

It was a pleasure meeting AR newbie Laura Murray who was asking wonderful questions! It was hard answering with everyone talking and sharing many stories. Amazing how everyone gets to know each other from just living in your computer.
