Accounting & Tax Services in Carrollton, TX
Carrollton is home to more than 15,000 businesses and a workforce exceeding 90,000, making it one of the most business-friendly cities in North Texas. With over 45 million square feet of industrial space and 5 million square feet of office space, the city consistently ranks among the top DFW cities for job creation and new business development. Manufacturing, construction trades, and wholesale distribution anchor the local economy along the I-35E corridor.
Texas franchise tax (margin tax) affects Carrollton businesses with revenue over $2.47 million, which is particularly relevant for manufacturers and distributors managing high-volume operations. S-Corp owners in Carrollton’s industrial sector also face considerations around equipment depreciation, inventory valuation, and multi-state sales tax when shipping goods beyond Texas borders.
SDO CPA works with Carrollton business owners across manufacturing, construction, and professional services to structure entities, optimize S-Corp reasonable compensation, and manage the interplay between federal tax obligations and Texas franchise tax. For businesses near the Trinity Mills Station transit-oriented development district or along the Valwood industrial corridor, we provide monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO services scaled to your stage of growth.
Texas Tax Planning Tip
Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, but the Texas franchise tax (margin tax) applies to businesses with revenue above $2.47 million. S-Corp and partnership owners should analyze whether the E-Z Computation rate (0.331% of revenue) or the standard rate (0.75% of margin) produces a lower tax bill. Many Carrollton manufacturers overpay because they default to the E-Z rate without running both calculations.
