As our Canadian accounting office is close to the US border a number of our clients have recreational property in the States. Is there a CPA that could advise us on how the IRS treats the sales of these properties? Do our clients need to file a US tax return? Any advice would be great or a link to the proper section on the IRS website. Thanks in advance!

I did some "Googling" and found this website which should set you on the right path:
