Tax preparation and planning for Texas businesses and individuals.

Texas tax work requires a clear split between federal individual or business returns and state franchise or sales-tax accounts. Realtime FinanceFix helps taxpayers organize the complete record set and coordinate the accounts that apply to their circumstances.

TX Context

A coordinated Texas tax file

The Texas Comptroller describes franchise tax as a privilege tax on taxable entities formed or doing business in Texas and separately administers sales and use tax. Entity status, revenue, transactions, and location facts determine which state reports need review.

Federal individual and business returns

Organize income, deductions, credits, business schedules, and entity returns for federal filing and any applicable other-state work.

Texas franchise tax

Confirm entity status and preserve revenue, cost, compensation, and ownership information relevant to the annual reporting process.

Sales and use tax

Review permits, local sourcing, taxable transactions, exemptions, marketplace activity, purchases, filed returns, and payments.

Cross-state obligations

Identify activity outside Texas and Texas activity of out-of-state entities so nexus and filing questions can be reviewed from complete facts.

How RFF Helps

Preparation that connects the return to the records

RFF starts with the taxpayer, entity, activity, and filing history. The goal is to build one explainable file that connects federal information with the Texas returns and accounts that actually apply.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Confirm residency, entity type, Texas activity, prior filings, notices, and the federal and state or provincial work required.

  2. 02

    Organize

    Collect tax documents, reconciled financial records, payments, account transcripts or notices, and the schedules supporting each return.

  3. 03

    Prepare

    Reconcile federal information with applicable Texas income, business, indirect-tax, and withholding records and resolve open questions.

  4. 04

    Follow through

    Coordinate filing and payment steps, retain confirmation records, and identify planning or recordkeeping improvements for the next period.

Records That Matter

Keep the source file as clear as the final report.

Texas files should contain reconciled books, revenue support, sales-tax workpapers, franchise-tax and ownership information, payroll records, fixed assets, federal returns, payments, and correspondence.

The applicable records and filing requirements depend on the taxpayer's facts. RFF confirms the engagement scope before work begins and does not treat this regional overview as a substitute for advice about a specific transaction or deadline.
