September 2025 Virtual General Membership Meeting


Orange County Escrow Association

Wednesday, September 17, 2025: 5:30 - 7:00PM PDT

Michael W. Brooks, Licensed Tax Attorney with DIRECTS
(Domestic and International Real Estate Closing Tax Service, Inc.)

FALL 2025 IS BRINGING BIG CHANGES FOR FIRPTA!

  • After September 30, 2025, the IRS will no longer accept checks. How are withholding taxes to be paid to the IRS after that date?
  • The IRS now has many fewer employees than in prior years. What can escrow expect working with their much smaller staff?
  • IRS proposed devastating FIRPTA legislation which almost became law this year (requiring 35% withholding on foreign sellers) -- it failed initially, but could come back!

Don't miss this important meeting! It will be loaded with information you need in order to provide your customers with the professional service they require and expect, and to protect your company from liability, as well!
