Legal Question in Family Law in California

On the QUITCLAIM DEED form, I wrote the DOCUMENTARY TRANSFER TAX as $0.00. Underneath this field there are two choices, �computed on full value of property conveyed� and the �computed on full value less value of liens or encumbrances remaining at time of sale�. What are the definitions of each of these? Is it necessary to check one of these boxes? Can both boxes be unchecked?
