What’s included in my doola plan, and why am I being charged extra?
## What your plan includes
Doola plans generally include these core services:
- Company formation
- Registered agent service (included in most plans)
- Annual reports
- Federal EIN application
- Federal and state compliance filings
- Select tax services (which may include some tax filing guidance but not full filing)
Note that BOI filing is no longer offered.
### Bookkeeper, registered agent, and annual tax filing
- **Registered agent service** is included in most doola plans, but you should confirm this in your specific plan dashboard or invoice.
- **Bookkeeping** services are not included as a dedicated human bookkeeper. Some plans may include access to bookkeeping software, but this only provides software tools—you must perform the bookkeeping yourself unless you purchase add-on human bookkeeping services, which are billed separately.
- **Annual tax filing** is generally not included as a full filing service. Plans may include select tax guidance, but you should check your plan dashboard to see exactly what tax filing services (if any) are covered by your subscription.
## Why you may see extra charges
You might see additional charges for optional services or add-ons beyond the features included in your plan. Common extra charges include:
- Human bookkeeping services
- ITIN applications
- Form 5472 filings
- Form 1099 filings
- Advanced banking support
Specialized filings, advanced banking support, and bookkeeping services beyond your plan typically incur separate charges.
### Banking address requirements (common issue)
- Most banks require a physical street address (not a P.O. box) for compliance.
- If your virtual address is rejected by a bank, you must provide a legitimate physical address (e.g., residence, office, or a compliant commercial address accepted by the bank).
- Some banks allow a separate mailing address while maintaining a physical street address on file.
- Always verify your bank’s specific address policies before submitting your information.
## Why services can feel expensive
Prices reflect the cumulative costs of:
- State fees
- Filing fees
- Compliance requirements
- Administrative and support services
## How to confirm what’s included
Check your plan dashboard to see what features and services are included in your subscription.
Your invoice and dashboard show a clear breakdown of every charge, including any add-ons or optional services.
If you require explanations about specific charges, review your invoice detail or dashboard first.
