[WSBARP] Simplifile Question

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

This happens from time to time.  I learned the hard way after running into
a wall six or seven times before asking....so allow me to save you the
headache.  There are situations that DO NOT match the WAC but are the
required exemption codes for the DOR. Those exemption codes are found on an
Excel spreadsheet that you can located in the right column of this page:
https://dor.wa.gov/taxes-rates/other-taxes/real-estate-excise-tax
<https://dor.wa.gov/taxes-rates/other-taxes/real-estate-excise-tax>

This is what that spreadsheet says -
458-61A-201(b)(3) Gift - Grantee always make payments, no consideration
given
Use what is on THEIR sheet.
