/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
VANCOUVER, Jan. 20, 2016 /CNW/ - Sunstone Opportunity (No. 2) Realty Trust ("Sunstone US#2") announces that due to the successful sale of Azure Creek at Tatum Ranch Apartments in January 2015 and the capital gains associated with the subsequent distribution of the sale proceeds, a tax obligation has been triggered with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") of the United States of America. As required by the IRS, the maximum taxes have been withheld and submitted to the IRS on each unitholders behalf, which means that each unitholder needs to file a U.S. Tax Return in order to receive a U.S. Withholding Tax Refund on the over-withheld portion, if eligible.
Sunstone US#2 will launch an online questionnaire that will be available for a limited time. Completing the online questionnaire will be the ONLY way unitholders can obtain their U.S. Tax Slips. The online questionnaire will be available from February 1st to April 1st, 2016 by following this link: Sunstone U.S. Opportunity (No. 2) Realty Trust Income Tax Information
Sunstone US#2 will provide the following documentation for unitholders upon completion of the online questionnaire:
- U.S. K1 and 8805 Tax Slips – all unitholders are eligible
- U.S. Tax Return 1040NR (for eligible unitholders only) – please note that corporations/trusts/U.S. residents are not eligible. Individuals who travel to the U.S. a great deal also may not be eligible. Please consult your tax advisor.
- Individual Taxpayer Identification Number ("ITIN") W7 application form – please note that if you previously filed a US Tax Return you will already have an ITIN.
All unitholders should consult their own tax advisor as each situation is unique. The above information is general in nature and is for information purposes and may not apply to all unitholders in the same manner.
Sunstone US#2 paid its special and final distribution on May 29, 2015.
Sunstone US#2 was terminated on December 31, 2015 at which time its units were surrendered for cancellation.
