How can foreign taxpayers avoid FIRPTA withholding to have the full transaction proceeds available to reinvest eligible gain into a QOF under the new proposed regulations?

This issue is not addressed in the current regulations. Nevertheless, proposed regulations were issued in April 2021 that address the coordination between the withholding requirements (FIRPTA) and the OZ incentives. Please refer to those for more details.
