What this is

Sales Tax Preparation, explained

If you sell taxable goods or services in Texas you collect sales tax from your customers and remit it to the Texas Comptroller. The money was never yours, which is why the state treats shortfalls seriously and why penalties attach quickly. Your filing frequency, monthly, quarterly or annual, is assigned by the Comptroller based on how much you collect.

The work is not difficult so much as relentless and easy to let slip. We take the recurring filing off your desk, keep the taxable and exempt split defensible, and make sure the returns go in on time even in a busy month.

Questions

Common questions

How often do I have to file?

The Comptroller assigns your frequency based on how much tax you collect, most commonly monthly for larger filers and quarterly or annually for smaller ones. It can change as your volume changes, and we track that so a frequency shift does not catch you out.

Do I still file if I had no sales?

Yes. A zero return is still a required return, and not filing one is what turns a quiet month into a penalty. We file it either way.

I sell online to other states. Does that matter?

It can. Economic nexus rules mean sales into another state can create a filing obligation there even with no physical presence, and each state sets its own thresholds. We review where you are selling and tell you where you are exposed.

I got a notice from the Comptroller.

Send it over. Most notices are resolvable, and the important thing is responding inside the window rather than letting it escalate to an assessment.
