New and Updated Filing Categories in the Usage API

Starting in May, the following filing categories will be available in the Usage API, providing a look back on April usage:

• mailed_tax_return_copy – Recipient copies of tax returns mailed to an employee, contractor, or company.
• amended_return – Each amended tax filing completed.
• refile_attempt – Each new attempt to file a tax return on behalf of a company after a prior failure.
• delayed_filing – Tax returns filed late due to no fault of Check.

The refile_attempt category was previously included under delayed_filing and is now being separated for clarity. Until now, delayed_filing was available only in usage summaries—usage records will be added with this release.

All categories relate to the tax_filing resource type. However, the corresponding resource ID will not be available in the Tax Filing API at launch. We’re actively redesigning the Tax Filing API to include all filings—not just failures. We expect to ship this update next quarter.
