## FAQs

### Are returns filed for $0 considered a filing and subject the to filing fee / filing subscription allotment?

Yes, when TaxCloud's Filing Team prepares and submits a filing for your business, it is treated the same as if it were prepared and filed with a tax liability greater than $0. The work of preparing and filing is the same.

### What is a Surcharge Filing Fee?

Premium Filings are much more labor intensive and complex. You'll see this fee associated with filings for Louisiana & Colorado *(not the CO RDF filing)*

### When does TaxCloud bill for filings

You'll see the filings on the invoice following the month in which the filings were submitted to the states, or through a [filing subscription](/doc/understanding-taxclouds-filing-costs-filing-subscription-eKyaThBvyn).


:::info
* Note: Price per filing without a filing subscription is $45. When a filing subscription is present, additional filings beyond the allotted quantity of filings in your tier are billed at the price per filing of your filing subscription tier.

:::

*Example using $45 price: Two standard filings are submitted on May 19th, for April's sales. The next invoice in June will contain* ***Standard Filings: $45 x 2 = $90***

### I see Washington in the SST states that file for free for Premium users, why do I also see Washington B&O below with the standard filings?

In the state of Washington, businesses encounter two main types of taxes: sales taxes and Business and Occupation (B&O) taxes. While both are forms of taxation, they serve different purposes and are administered differently. The WA B&O as a separate tax, is considered a unique filing like any other and is billed accordingly. It is __not__ part of Business Sales & Use tax covered by the SST program. [Read more about WA B&O here](/doc/what-is-washington-bo-tax-hlt7mq0jZX).
