Dear Sir,
That is incorrect. In the case of UK citizens, with which I'm more familiar, they may have to pay CGT twice on selling Spanish property. Both to the Spanish Tax Office and also to the HMRC depending on how much is their UK tax rate.
I'm unaware of the IRS but I suggest you query a US lawyer in the state where you live on this matter as you may be required to pay CGT twice (taxed on the difference in the US).
Yours faithfully,
Raymundo LarraÃ*n Nesbitt
