Sales Tax when you sell property

[handsoff]

Thanks for everyone's input - very helpful.

I understand now that it is a witholding. Just means more paperwork for me. As an expat with a low salary I come under the $82,000 Federal income exclusion which means I basically, don't have to file any state income tax forms since my US income is 0. (I know this isn't exactly correct but it is what I do.)

Again, thanks for the input.
