New for 2019
There are no changes from 2018 for the title insurance tax forms.
Filing requirements
All title insurance companies licensed in the State of Washington during the calendar year must file an online tax form, as provided by this office, even if no business was actually transacted within Washington during that time. Alternate filing methods are not accepted.
Due date
The completed online form and payment must be received by our office on or before March 1 following the end of the calendar year. When the due date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the form and payment are considered timely if received the next business day.
Caution: Do not mail a paper version of the form or any attachments to our office.
Completing your premium tax form
Title companies are not subject to premium tax, but must report their premiums.
Premiums reported must be on the same basis as required on the Annual Statement.
Selecting "Print" will print your form exactly as it appears on the screen, even if you have not saved your work.
The "Save progress" button does not check for errors.
Remember: Save your work before moving away from the form; your work is not automatically saved.
