# Does Washington B&O (excise) Tax Appear in Your TaxCloud Reporting?

## Overview

If you file taxes in Washington, you may notice that your **Business & Occupation (B&O) tax** does **not** appear anywhere in your TaxCloud dashboard or Tax Reporting page.

This is expected.

TaxCloud files Washington taxes using **two separate processes**, and they display differently:


1. **Sales & Use Tax** – filed through the **SST system** and visible in your TaxCloud reporting.
2. **B&O Tax** – filed directly with Washington by our **Direct File team** and **not** visible in TaxCloud.

## What You Will See in TaxCloud 

Your TaxCloud **Tax Reporting** page includes:

* Sales tax collected
* Use tax collected

This page **does not include**:

* Washington B&O tax
* Any excise taxes
* Any gross receipts–based taxes

## How Washington Taxes Are Filed Through TaxCloud

## Sales & Use Tax (SST Filing)

* Filed electronically through the **Streamlined Sales Tax (SST)** system
* Includes only sales and use tax
* Fully visible in your TaxCloud account

## B&O Tax (Direct File)

* The **[B&O tax is an excise tax](https://dor.wa.gov/taxes-rates/business-occupation-tax?utm_source=chatgpt.com)** based on gross receipts
* It is **not part of the taxes remitted through the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) system**
* It is filed separately by our **Direct File team** directly in the **Washington Department of Revenue (DOR)** portal
* This filing contains **only the B&O excise tax**, not your sales tax amounts
* Because this filing is not related to Sales & Use tax and is a separate from the filing being done for WA for Sales & Use tax, it **does not appear in TaxCloud**

## Where to View Your B&O Filing

Since B&O is filed directly in the state system, you can view your B&O details by logging into:

## ➤ Washington Department of Revenue – MyDOR Portal


---

## Is Anything Missing From My TaxCloud Reporting?

No.

Your TaxCloud reporting accurately reflects **all sales and use tax data** submitted to Washington via SST.

B&O is based on gross receipts sales & simply filed through a different system and shown only in your state portal.
