<p class="MsoNormal">Jan,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a bunch of “secret” WAC codes for gift exemptions. You can see them if you have a Simplifile account because you basically input the REETA. But I will say that using Simplifile greatly reduces the chance of a rejection because
it forces you to pick one of the acceptable WAC codes. For gifts, the secret codes are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">458-61-A-201(a)(1) – Gift – Grantor pays debt, other consideration given<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">458-61-A-201(a)(2) – Gift – Grantee pays no debt<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">458-61-A-201(b)(1) – Gift – no debt, no consideration given<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">458-61-A-201(b)(2) – Gift – grantor pays debt, no other consideration given<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">458-61-A-201(b)(3) – Gift – Grantee always make[sic] payments, no consideration given<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">458-61-A-201(b)(4) – Grantor/Grantee always share payments, no other consideration given<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The codes sort of match the Supplemental Statement, but are also not actually in the WAC, and therefore I consider them the secret made up codes that DOR uses. Hope that helps.

<p class="MsoNormal">I think there was a discussion recently on this topic, but I can't find it. I'm trying to file a deed to convey property by gift. I used the WAC 458-61A-201, which is also what is stated on the REETA supplemental statement. It was rejected
for "incomplete WAC code." <o:p></o:p></p>
