UPDATE FOR 2024. Taxable entities with total revenue less than the threshold no longer have to file a quote no tax due report but have to now file a "public/ownership information report". Which is even more simple and straightforward. Wanted to share as I come back to this video once a year. Thank you for making it.

Hi Loma, for those of us that haven't filed income taxes yet (have an extension), where should we get gross income from? Profit/Loss report from our bookeeper? Do we have to have our taxes filed in order to obtain this info?

@LomaRisper

Ай бұрын

Hi, Mayra. If you're filing for a past due Franchise Tax Return, you will need the accurate number that would end up on your tax return. If you're not sure, I wouldn't advise guessing. If your bookkeeper has the exact number you know for sure that will go on your final tax return, then you can use that. If you're filing a Franchise Tax Return that is due this year (2024), you only need that information if you reached the $2.47 million threshold. If you made less than that, you'll just file the public information report. If this was helpful and you want more free business tips, sign up at www.LomaRisper.com 👍

It sounds like you're asking about two different types of taxes. Franchise Taxes - If you made any income, regardless of expenses, use the instructions in this video to file your annual return. As long as you made less than $1.2 million, you won't owe anything, but you must file. Sales Tax - If you have a sales tax permit, you have to file. If you don't sell products and only sell services, check to see if that service is taxable. If it is taxable, charge your customers, file your sales tax returns, and send the Comptroller the tax you collected. If your service is not taxable and you have a sales tax permit, you may need to close your account because as long as your sales tax account is open, you have to file to stay in compliance.

Hi, Yalexia! Looks like you have a few different questions... Once you filed and paid the $50, you complied with filing which is all the Comptroller wanted when they mailed that scary estimate to you.😉 When you check your account status, you should see it says "This page is valid for most business transactions...". It's the same message that shows for all the companies you look up. It's not company specific.

Hi, Sandra. If you have an LLC, you have to file your Franchise Tax return every year. If you make less than $1.2 million, you won't owe any taxes, BUT you still have to file. I think when you mentioned you file joint with your tax guy, you were talking about your IRS Income Tax return. On the IRS tax return, you can provide your expenses to offset your income and reduce your tax due (or not have to pay any tax if you have a net loss). But this is separate from the Franchise Tax return. Hope this helps you 😊

@LomaRisper

Start at the 9 min mark of the video and read the screenshots for the specific instructions pertaining to partnerships if that applies to your situation. Hope this helps 🙂.

What is a registered agent?

@LomaRisper

4 ай бұрын

Hi! A registered agent is a company or person who has a physical address that they are actively located at and ready to receive official (court) documents like if a company was being sued. They have to be available during standard business hours. This is a legal requirement to have one to keep your LLC. You can choose to be your own registered agent and use your own home address, but most people don't want their home address listed publicly for their business. You can hire a company like Texas Registered Agent for $35/year to provide this service and use their address instead of your home address.

Hello loma, I just opened my business in January of 2023 and I received a letter from the Texas comptroller on May 15, 2023. Just moving my business from Michigan I kicked the can down the road ... I knew better. Months later of procrastination ... On July 28th, I received a notice of Intent to Forfeit Right to Transact Business and received an estimated taxes due of $1,152. If I haven't filed taxes for the 2023 tax season federally, what information do I pull from to complete the forms/ e-file? What are my steps or course of action. Please help!!

@LomaRisper

10 ай бұрын

Hi, Rachel! I was a bit confused when you mentioned you opened your business in Jan. 2023 and received the forfeiture letter, so I took a quick look at your LLC on the Comptroller's website and saw you registered your business in Dec. 2022 and that explains why you would have been required to file by May 17th this year (normally every May 15th unless it's a weekend or holiday). With that said, if you've already set up your eSystems Webfile log in, log in. If you don't see File and Pay Franchise Tax, you may need to scroll down to Popular Services: Assign Taxes/Fees, enter your taxpayer number from the letter, enter the Webfile number they assigned you in that letter, and agree to add the franchise tax acct to your profile. Once you see the File and Pay Franchise Tax option on the main screen, click and choose No Tax Due and follow the instructions in my video (Zero Income). You'll have to pay a $50 late filing fee, but then you'll be caught up and just need to add to your calendar to file next year. Make sure you file your regular IRS income tax return beforehand because you will need the information from there to file next year (watch my other Franchise Tax video that shows how to file with Income). Hope this helps!
