Hi Everyone, I have 4 DVC contracts and out of the blue a couple of years ago I received and IRS demand for tax year 2018 for a fairly significant amount ($1,000) . I am a UK citizen with no other US assets apart from DVC and I only visit the US on vacation. There was no other information available as to what the tax demand was for and I have never submitted a US tax return as I have no US earnings. I contacted them inititally by phone (as they have no email address in use) back in 2020 when the initial demand arrived for tax year 2018 and was told to put my issue in writing, which I did by both letter and fax. The letters and faxes have never been acknowledged. I now seem to be getting a revised demand including a small amount of interest increase at least once and sometimes twice a year. I write and fax back every time as I am unable to get through by telephone, but none of this correspondence is acknowledged. I can only assume this is related to my 2018 purchase of a contract so I checked my 2018 purchase, which was from another international seller and my broker did deduct the FIRTPA tax from the seller so I am struggling to understand where this tax demand came from.
Has anyone got any experience of this kind of situation and any advice of how to proceed would be much appreciated!
