UNDERSTANDING TAX PREPARATION IN TEXAS
Texas is unique. While Texans enjoy no personal state income tax, the tax landscape is still complex:
- Federal tax rules still apply
- Business owners must navigate the Texas Franchise Tax
- Real estate owners face high property tax environments
- Multi-state earners need proper residency/tax planning
- Entity selection has a massive impact on your total tax burden
- Investors must track basis, depreciation, gains, and passive loss limits
Strategic tax preparation ensures you’re benefiting from every deduction, avoiding penalties, and optimizing your year-round tax position.
TEXAS TAX LANDSCAPE — WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
No State Income Tax for Individuals
Texas is one of the few states with no individual income tax — a benefit for:
- Wage earners
- Independent contractors
- Investors
- Remote workers
But this also means the IRS is your primary tax authority, making federal strategy far more important.
The Texas Franchise Tax (Business Owners)
Most Texas businesses must file an annual franchise tax return, including:
- LLCs
- S-Corps
- C-Corps
- Partnerships
Your revenue level and industry determine your filing requirements.
The right entity structure can reduce or even eliminate this tax.
High Property Taxes for Homeowners & Investors
Texas property tax rates are among the highest in the U.S.
Proper record-keeping, depreciation planning, and rental strategy can significantly reduce your federal burden.
