- Capital Gains 2.5% withholding is held when you are an out of state resident selling your property in Maine. This is only a withholding and you will need to file the gain with both the IRS and State of Maine for the tax year that you sell. No capital gain is withheld at closing for Maine Residents. You are exempt if this is your primary residence. If not your primary residence, you will need to file your gain for the tax year that you sell even though there was no withholding at closing.
Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
