Form 8288-A and 8288-B (I didn't know B existed)

Client is abroad and sold a condo at a loss but real estate company correctly withheld 10% and send it to the IRS. The next day, client filed form 8288-B and got the money back because it was sold at a loss.

Now it is time to prepare form 1040NR and I can enter the amont withhold but I cannot find a place to enter the amount that was refunded. I am thinking about asking for a huge refund and let the IRS adjust it. What if the IRS doesn't adjust it and send the big check to client? What it I just ignore the withholding and the IRS claims that a huge refund was issued and now wants it back.

I guess $52K earns a lot in 6 months and that's why the client wanted the refund back in August 2012.

I called the practitioner's hot line and they wanted to transfer me to the 1-800-829-1040. I asked what the practitioners hotline was for and she said for account information.

I thought so.

Put the refund on Line 59 as "Form 8288-B"
