We evaluate the sphere level S-matrix element of two tachyons and two massless NS states, the S-matrix element of four tachyons, and the S-matrix element of two tachyons and two Ramon-Ramond vertex operators, in type 0 theory. We then find an expansion for theses amplitudes that their leading order terms correspond to a covariant tachyon action. To the order considered, there are no $T^4$, $T^2(\\\\prt T)^2$, $T^2H^2$, nor $T^2R$ tachyon couplings, whereas, the tachyon couplings $F\\\\bF T$ and $T^2F^2$ are non-zero.
