    Selling Your Home in Orange County: Can You Make Up to $500,000 Tax-Free? The Basics of FIRPTA and Capital Gains Deductions You Need to Know

    To those who have lived in Orange County for many years and are planning to return to Japan:

    When selling your home, if you meet the requirements, you can exclude up to $250,000\ (up to $500,000 for married couples) tax-free under a provision known as “Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code,” as well as a withholding tax system called “FIRPTA” that applies to foreign (nonresident) sellers. Do you remember the client I briefly mentioned in last week’s article who was torn between “should I rent it out or sell it?”

    Today, I’d like to explain these two systems—which were key to that decision—as simply as possible. But first, let me make one thing clear. I specialize in real estate brokerage and am not a tax or legal expert. The information I’m sharing today is limited to what’s published on the official IRS (U.S. Internal Revenue Service) website, so please be sure to consult a tax accountant ・ or CPA to determine how this applies to your specific situation. Even so, I believe that simply knowing about these programs early on can make a significant difference in how you proceed with your preparations. That’s why today, I’d like to start by discussing “what you should prepare, and by when, to give yourself peace of mind.”

    ⚠ This article is intended to provide general information and does not constitute individual tax ・ or legal advice. I am a real estate brokerage specialist, not a tax ・ or legal expert. The content presented here is limited to information published on the official IRS website and does not include any further interpretation. For a final determination based on your specific circumstances (residence status ・, length of stay ・, marital status ・, property usage history, etc.), please be sure to consult a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) who specializes in international tax matters.

    What should you prepare before returning to your home country for peace of mind?
    Before delving into the details of the system, there are three key points you should keep in mind.

    First, work with a CPA to confirm whether you are considered a “resident” or a “non-resident” for tax purposes at the time of sale. Second, confirm the period during which you owned ・ and resided in your Orange County home (specifically, how much of the past five years). Third, work backward from the scheduled closing date to start consulting with your CPA and preparing the necessary documents well in advance. If you start taking action on these three points as soon as your return to Japan is scheduled—ideally several months before closing—your available options will expand significantly. From here on, I’ll explain in a bit more detail why these three points are important and provide an overview of the regulations published by the IRS.

    What is FIRPTA?— —How “Withholding Tax” Works When Selling in Orange County
    FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) is a withholding tax system established by the IRS that applies throughout the United States, regardless of state. Of course, this also applies when selling a property in Orange County. According to the IRS’s official website, if the seller is classified as a “foreign person” for tax purposes, 15% of the total sale price is generally withheld by the buyer at closing and remitted to the IRS within 20 days after closing. It is also explicitly stated that withholding is not required if the sale price is $300,000 or less and the buyer intends to use the home as their primary residence; furthermore, if the sale price falls between $300,000 and $1 million and the same conditions are met, the withholding rate is reduced to 10%. The IRS also offers a system called the “Withholding Certificate,” which allows you to apply in advance for a reduction if the withholding amount is likely to exceed the actual tax liability. Consult a CPA to determine whether you need to apply and how to proceed.

    Source: IRS “FIRPTA Withholding” official page (irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/firpta-withholding)

    What Determines Whether You Are a “Foreign Person”?—Tax Residency Status, Not Nationality
    So, who exactly does this term “foreign person” refer to? According to the IRS official page (Definitions of terms and procedures unique to FIRPTA), a “foreign person” under FIRPTA refers to individuals who qualify as “nonresident aliens ・” for tax purposes, and it is explicitly stated that “resident aliens ・” are not included. In other words, the determination is based not on whether one holds Japanese nationality, but on whether one is a “resident” or “nonresident” for U.S. tax purposes.

    So, how is one’s status as a tax “resident” determined? According to official IRS information (Topic No. 851, Resident and Nonresident Aliens), you are treated as a “resident” for tax purposes for that year if you meet any of the following criteria. The first is the “Green Card ・ Test”—holding U.S. permanent resident status (a Green Card) at any point during the year. Second is the “Substantial Presence Test”—you must have been present in the U.S. for at least 31 days during the year, and the total number of days you were present in that year, plus one-third of the number of days you were present in the previous year and one-sixth of the number of days you were present in the year before that, must total 183 days or more. If you do not meet either of these criteria, you will be treated as a “nonresident” for tax purposes. Which category you fall into depends on your specific travel history and visa status, so please be sure to review this with a CPA.

    Source: IRS “Definitions of terms and procedures unique to FIRPTA” official page (irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/definitions-of-terms-and-procedures-unique-to-firpta), IRS “Topic No. 851, Resident and Nonresident Aliens” official page (irs.gov/taxtopics/tc851)

    How much can be exempt from tax under the capital gains deduction under Section 121 of the IRC?
    Section 121 of the IRC is a system entirely separate from FIRPTA. When you sell your primary residence, if you have owned the home for a total of at least 24 months (2 years) within the past 5 years (ownership requirement), and have used it as your principal residence for a total of at least 24 months (2 years) (residence requirement), you may exclude up to $250,000 in capital gains if you are single, or up to $500,000 if you file a joint return.

    While it is permissible to meet the ownership requirement and the occupancy requirement during different periods, both must be met within the five-year period preceding the date of sale. Whether you meet the requirements and how your situation will be treated if you become a nonresident depend on your individual circumstances, so please be sure to check with a CPA.

    Who should you consult about tax matters, anyway?
    If you’ve read this far, you might be wondering, “So, who should I consult, and about what?” What I can personally assist you with includes determining the timing and pricing of your sale in Orange County, managing the schedule leading up to closing, and serving as the point of contact for coordination with your CPA. On the other hand, the actual tax matters—such as calculating tax amounts, applying for withholding certificates, and filing tax returns—fall within the expertise of a CPA ・. While I’m not a tax expert myself, based on my experience working with clients in international situations, I can guide you on “when, whom, and what to consult about.” The client I introduced last week also made the decision to sell after working through these details with their CPA. Please feel free to reach out to me first—no matter how small your concern may be.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Q. Is the FIRPTA withholding tax always 15%?

    A. No, that’s not necessarily the case. According to the IRS, if the sale price is $300,000 or less and the buyer will use the home as their primary residence, withholding is not required; for sale prices between $300,000 and $1 million, the withholding rate is reduced to 10% under the same conditions. Please check with your CPA to see if this applies to your specific situation.

    Q. What are the requirements to qualify for the exemption under Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code?

    A. According to the IRS, the requirement is that you must have owned and occupied the property for a total of at least 24 months (2 years) over the past 5 years. If you meet this requirement, capital gains of up to $250,000 for single filers and up to $500,000 for married couples filing jointly are tax-exempt. Since eligibility may vary depending on your residency status and marital status, please be sure to consult a CPA for details.

    Q. Can I consult with you about taxes?

    A. Please feel free to consult with me first. However, I am a real estate brokerage specialist and do not handle tax returns or tax calculations myself. I’ll work with you to determine the best timing for the sale and how to proceed with preparations, and if necessary, I’ll refer you to a trusted bilingual CPA to assist you.

    Let’s take our time together to figure out what you need to prepare first regarding the timing of your sale before returning to your home country. We’ll proceed with the actual tax decisions by introducing you to a trusted CPA. I sincerely look forward to seeing you at your free consultation.

    She hated exercise … -35kg miracle story ✨.

    I hadn’t done any real exercise in nearly half a century.
    I had very little muscle mass, and since my youth, living in the U.S., fast food and sweets had become the norm for me.
    “Going to the gym is out of the question for me.”
    That’s where I started.

    At FIT BODY, we don’t start with intense workouts or extreme dietary restrictions right away.
    First, we create a manageable program tailored to each person’s physical fitness ・ age ・ and lifestyle, while taking care to minimize strain on the lower back and knees.
    As for diet,
    we started with a simple change—
    “choosing foods that look like actual food”—
    and gradually made it a habit, checking in during each training session.

    As a result, ✨ In 3 months, － 15 kg
    ✨ Muscle strength approximately doubled
    ✨ In one year, a> 35 kg

    It wasn’t just about losing weight;
    I was able to develop exercise and eating habits that I can maintain for the rest of my life.

    Upon graduation,
    they shared these heartwarming words with us: “I think this was the best way I’ve ever spent my money.”
    😊

    For over 10 years in Torrance, Los Angeles ・, FIT BODY has supported countless people in their fitness journeys, focusing primarily on middle-aged and older adults ・, exercise beginners ・, and those who find exercise challenging.

    We focus not only on losing weight in a short period of time, but also on

    ✅ and creating a body that extends healthy life expectancy
    ✅ with safe instruction that takes care of the shoulders ・ and lower back ・ Safe instruction that takes your knees into consideration
    ✅ Fully personalized programs tailored to each individual

    are what we value most.

    Billboard $ 2,250~OK ！ Advertisements for the U.S. "Full support in Japanese".

    I want to advertise in the US market.

    But …

    "Where is the best place to advertise ？"

    "Is it true that the Japanese way does not work ？"

    Are you worried about this ？

    In fact, advertising management in the U.S. is completely different from that in Japan.

    - Ads don't stick because the culture and wording are different
    - Media characteristics are totally different from Japan
    - Not sure where to put your ad on billboards and SNS
    - Not sure about the rates and reliability of influencers

    . The aiTWorks Advertising and Marketing Service, a locally-based × Japanese-affiliated support, is the solution to all of these problems.

    【旅行前に必見】LA送迎の“安すぎる価格”には理由があります ― 弊社が“格安送迎”をしない理由

    今の時代、インターネット上には様々な旅行情報が溢れており、「どれを信用していいかわからない」と不安に思われる方も多いかと存じます。
    本日は大切なお客様へ、ロサンゼルスにおける送迎の「リアルな現状」と、弊社の安全への取り組みについてお伝えさせていただきます。

    ■ 激安な「白タク」に潜む恐ろしいリスク 現在、大手のオンライン旅行予約サイト（OTA）などでも、驚くほど安い料金で送迎が販売されています。

    しかし、その多くは現地の営業許可を持たない「白タク（無許可業者）」によるものです。

    ロサンゼルスでも日本語を話す白タクが横行し、ネット上で公に宣伝されています。彼らは料金が安い反面、以下の重大な欠陥を抱えています。

    ・空港乗り入れの正式な許可を持っていない
    ・万が一の際の「商業用保険」に加入していない（個人の保険のみ）

    ロサンゼルスは完全な車社会であり、日常的に交通事故が多発しております。もし無保険の白タクで事故に巻き込まれた場合、お客様への補償は一切されず、アメリカの高額な医療費を全額自己負担しなければならないという大きなリスクがあります。

    ■ アメリカは「安全をお金で買う国」です 私ども正規の送迎会社は、お客様の大切な「命」をお預かりしています。
    目先の安さではなく、確実な安全と安心をお届けするため、弊社は以下の基準を徹底しております。

    ・手厚い保険体制： 万が一に備え、最高150万ドルを補償する手厚い商業用自動車保険に加入しております（白タクとは異なり、車1台につき年間$12,000以上の高額な保険料を納めております）。

    ・安全第一のプロフェッショナル： 厳しい基準をクリアした正規ドライバーが、走行スピードよりも「安全運転」を何より優先して業務に励んでおります。

    どうか、ご安心ください。 当日は、スーツを着用した経験豊富なドライバーが、上質な革張りシートの車両でお迎えにあがります。
    日本ならではの「心のこもったおもてなし」で、皆様のロサンゼルス滞在を快適にサポートさせていただきます。

    🎥【動画での注意喚起】 ロサンゼルスで日本人観光客を狙う違法な「白タク」の危険性や見分け方について、現場から動画で解説しております。
    事故が起きてからでは遅い、アメリカ旅行のリアルな注意点をお伝えしておりますので、ご旅行前にぜひ一度ご覧ください。

    ご旅行前にぜひ一度動画をご覧ください。

    ドクター月川が答えるお悩み相談室【月経前症候群・PMSの診断・対処法・治療編】Vol.2

    今日は、月経前症候群・PMSの診断方法、対処療法、治療法についてお話ししていきたいと思います。

    ★月経前症候群・PMSの診断★
    特別な検査方法はありません。毎月決まって月経の前に症状が現れ、月経が始まるとやわらぐことを確認することが大切です。症状が起こった日時をカレンダーにマークして、月経の周期と関連しているかどうかを確認することをすすめます。体調管理アプリなどの活用もあります。


    ★PMSの対処療法★
    PMSの症状に気がついたら、適切に対処するために、自分のリズムを確認しましょう。生理周期と自分の症状を記録してみましょう。自分の症状を理解することで、症状に対処しやすくなります。自分のパターンを理解することは、前向きなセルフケアへとつながります。

    日常生活では、症状の重い日は仕事量を軽減するなど、心身へのストレスを最小限に抑える工夫も治療につながります。生活習慣としては、規則正しい生活リズムを心がけ、夜更かしなどの睡眠不足を避けるようにしてください。運動習慣も大切な要因であり、適度な運動・ウォーキング、ストレッチ、ヨガなどを取り入れることもポイントです。

    栄養面では、野菜や食物繊維の多い炭水化物（玄米など）、ビタミンB6、マグネシウム、カルシウムを摂取することが勧められています。一方で、過度のカフェイン、アルコール、喫煙は控えたほうがいいとされています。


    ★PMSの治療法★
    薬物療法
    1．低用量ピル
    月経前症候群の主な原因は、排卵後の女性ホルモンの変動です。この大きなホルモンの変動を抑えることで症状を軽減することができます。
    一般的な低用量ピルには、エストロゲンとプロゲステロンが含まれ、発癌性など内容に安全な状態で作られています。低用量ピルは、一時的に排卵を抑制し、排卵後の黄体期のホルモンの変動をなだらかな状態にしてくれます。低用量ピルは副作用が少なく、服用をやめれば、その後の妊娠や出産にも影響しません。

    2．漢方薬
    ・加味逍遥散（かみしょうようさん）
    女性ホルモンの変動に伴って現れる精神的な不安やいらだちや虚弱体質、月経不順、月経困難症、冷え症、睡眠障害などに用いられます。

    ・当帰芍薬散（とうきしゃくやくさん）
    月経不順、月経困難症、めまい、肩こり、腰痛、むくみ、冷え症、貧血、耳鳴り、動悸、頭痛、などに用いられます。

    ・桂枝茯苓丸（けいしぶくりょうがん）
    月経不順、月経異常、月経痛、めまい、肩こり、冷え症などに用いられます。

    残念なことに、アメリカでは、処方箋で漢方薬は出ません。日本へ帰国した時に婦人科を受診して処方していただくことになります。または、最近では薬局で直接購入することもできるようになっていますので、その時の自分の症状に合わせて選ぶこともできます。

    迷った時は、まずは医師か漢方薬剤師などの専門家に相談することをお勧めします。

    3．セロトニンの補充
    脳内でセロトニンという神経伝達物質が減少すると、精神的不安状態に陥ったりして、心の安定を保つことが困難になります。SSRI（選択的セロトニン再取り込み阻害薬）を服用して脳内のセロトニンの量を増やすことによって、月経前症候群の症状を軽減させます。SSRIには、いくつかの種類があるため、服用の際には主治医の先生から詳しい説明を受けることをお勧めします。
