Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ZeroFill and tax optimization for self-storage.

How does ZeroFill calculate tax savings?

ZeroFill tracks every vacant day and converts it into a qualified business expense. Each vacant day can be deducted at your marginal tax rate, typically saving $50-200 per vacancy per month depending on your tax bracket and local rates.

Is this legal?

Yes. ZeroFill structures every payment as a Qualified Sponsorship Payment (QSP) under IRC 513(i) and its related regulations. This is not marketing, advertising, or barter. It's a compliant sponsorship structure tested over 36 years of CPA practice. We provide CPA-ready documentation for your tax professional to review.

Is this risky?

No. This is a tested and compliant method that follows IRS regulations under IRC 513(i). It's not contingent on performance and doesn't involve any gray areas. The structure has been used successfully by hundreds of self-storage operators with CPA oversight.

How does billing work?

After a free 30-day trial, you are charged 5% of rent per vacant unit for each unit you reserve in ZeroFill. Invoicing runs monthly; charges are prorated when units are added or removed during the billing period. Payment is processed securely through Stripe.

What if I have multiple facilities?

ZeroFill supports unlimited facilities at no extra cost. You can track vacancies across your entire portfolio from a single dashboard, with facility-level reporting for comprehensive tax documentation.

Does ZeroFill integrate with my management software?

Yes. ZeroFill integrates with leading self-storage platforms including Sitelink, Storable (StorEDGE), and others. You connect your facility data once; we sync vacancy and unit information so you can reserve units and generate documentation without manual entry.

How quickly can I see results?

Most operators see their first tax savings within 30 days of implementation. Our automated tracking starts working immediately, and you'll receive monthly reports showing your accumulated savings and ROI.

What if I'm not satisfied?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with your results, we'll refund your payment in full, no questions asked.
