The Tax Credit Transmit WBARS Export Type is the Web-Based Annual Reporting System (WBARS) which was created by and used in Washington State (https://www.wbars.com/default.aspx)
When creating a Tax Credit Transmit WBARS Export Type, the following columns should be completed:
Funding Program - This column can be left blank, funding program selection is not necessary for this transmit type.
Export URL - URL is set as www.wbars.com
Short Description - this column populates the Destination Column on the Occupancy and Compliance Detail > LIHTC tab
Export Portfolio Name - this column populates the Community’s Project Name and Site Name in the xml file created.
Excluded Certtypes - NS, GR, SL, GP, VC, LC, RA, TM, XF, NR
Certtypes to be excluded from the xml file to be created.
Two other setup details that need to be taken care of before you can transmit a successful file:
Building Name comes from the Building Description column on the Community Detail > Facilities Tab.
Unit Name comes from the Apt Nbr column on the Unit Detail > General tab. If this number isn't the Unit Name used by WBARS, then enter the correctly formatted Unit Name in the Tax Credit Unit Nbr column on the Unit Detail > General tab.
If you are unsure of the Project Name, Building Name or Unit Name, you can log into Washington State's WBARS application and verify these values there.
