Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get filing history” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "account.tax.virginia.gov/get_filing_history",
    "input": {
      "tax_account": "Sales and Use",
      "from_period": "2026-07"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "business": "Northwind Supply LLC",
    "tax_account": "Sales and Use",
    "returns": [
      {
        "form": "ST-1",
        "filing_period": "2026-09",
        "filed_date": "2026-10-16",
        "tax_due": 4812.36,
        "amount_paid": 4812.36,
        "type": "Original"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Virginia Tax’s own options

Virginia Tax lists no API for reading a Business Account. Its machine channel is Web Upload, a file-based system for sales and withholding returns, payments and W-2 or 1099 data, with a server-to-server option for high-volume filers. Letters, filing history and payments are read in the account itself.

Signing in to Virginia Tax

Virginia Tax Online Services asks for your username and password, then a second step every time you log in: a passkey, an authentication app, a text or an email. One login manages several tax accounts. With Fous you sign in once through the site's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, an emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Two platforms during the move

Sales and use, withholding, vending machine, digital media and tire recycling fees are on the new Online Services platform. Other business taxes stay on the older business account, paid with Web Payment.

The old account no longer files sales tax

After November 9 the older account no longer files or pays sales and withholding taxes, though you can still sign in to it. Build methods for those taxes on account.tax.virginia.gov.

Three years of history, letters for full access

The new platform shows filing history for the last 3 years. Copies of letters are visible only to a full access user, so sign in with an account that has that access.

A new Company ID for debit blocks

If your bank blocks ACH debits, add Virginia Tax's new Company ID 5546001745 to the debits your bank allows.
