11. Am I subject to Maine Real Estate Withholding if I placed my Maine home on the market as a Maine resident but don’t sell the property until after I have become a nonresident?

Yes. Any gain from the sale that is federally taxable is also taxable by Maine. As such, the consideration, to the extent the gain is taxable, is subject to the Maine Real Estate Withholding requirement. If you believe that any portion of the gain is exempt from Maine taxation, see questions 3 and 4.
