The Texas franchise tax is a margin-based tax on businesses operating in the state. For 2024–2025 reports, businesses with annualized total revenue of $2.47 million or less owe no tax—but must still file ownership reports. If your revenue exceeds the threshold, rates are 0.375% for retail/wholesale businesses and 0.75% for most others. Businesses under $20 million can elect the simplified EZ Computation at 0.331%.

Even if your revenue is below the $2.47 million threshold and you owe no franchise tax, you still need to file a Public Information Report (PIR) or Ownership Information Report (OIR) by May 15 each year. Missing this deadline can result in penalties and potential forfeiture of your right to do business in Texas. A CPA also helps with federal tax obligations, bookkeeping accuracy, and strategic planning.

Texas franchise tax reports are due May 15 each year. If you need more time, you can request an extension, but any tax owed is still due by the original deadline to avoid penalties. Late filing incurs a $50 penalty, plus 5% of tax owed if paid 1–30 days late.

A bookkeeper records daily transactions, reconciles accounts, and maintains your financial records. A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is a licensed professional who can prepare and sign tax returns, provide tax planning advice, represent you before the IRS, and offer strategic financial guidance.
