Non resident tax for rental in Las Vegas (by Steve F.):

Hi,

I am a UK citizen and we own a timeshare in Las Vegas.

For the last two years I have rented the timeshare out through my resort who take 38% commission and also say: "In order to place your unit up for rent you have to be a US citizen with a US Social Security number for tax purposes. If you don’t have a US social security number a charge of 30% nonresident tax will ensue. You may apply with the Internal Revenue Service of the United States to receive a portion of this rental returned. Their website is www.irs.gov. If you do not want to obtainan ITIN number you may submit the Rental Agreement, but an additional 30% will be taken per the IRS."

I have had a look on the IRS webpage but cannot find out how to claim back this tax.

Has anyone had similar experiences who could help me find the right form and instructions on what to do please?

P.S I have been meaning to use Redweek and I understand it would cost $180 to rent successfully through your full package. Would this be subject to tax or is this taken into account?

Many Thanks.
