Reporting to Washington

The Washington Department of Revenue requires holders to file annual unclaimed property reports to help return assets to their rightful owners. For most holders, the reporting deadline is October 31st, covering property dormant as of June 30th. Life insurance companies, however, must file by April 30th. EscheatFix provides a secure, privacy-focused solution for CPAs to validate and convert holder data into the mandatory NAUPA II or NAUPA III XML formats. While our validation tools are free to use, the final conversion and report generation is a paid service.

Key Deadlines

  • Report Due (Life Insurance): April 30
  • Report Due (All Others): October 31
  • Payment Due (Life Insurance): April 30
  • Payment Due (All Others): October 31

Washington Reporting Specifics

Washington's unclaimed property laws (Uniform Unclaimed Property Act) generally establish a 3-year dormancy period for most property types, including bank accounts, securities, and safe deposit box contents. Notable exceptions include wages and utility deposits, which become reportable after just 1 year, and money orders, which carry a 5-year dormancy period. Unlike many states, Washington exempts certain gift certificates from reporting, provided they do not expire or carry fees. Additionally, the state allows for an aggregate limit of $50; items valued under this amount may be reported as a lump sum without detailed owner information.
