Texas Rules Every DFW Small Business Should Plan Around
Doing business in Texas changes which taxes show up on your calendar. Whether you run a crew out of Tarrant County or an online shop in Collin County, the same state rules apply across the metro.
01
No personal state income tax.
Owners file no Texas individual income tax return, so most tax planning centers on federal returns.
02
Franchise tax filing.
Many Texas businesses have an annual franchise tax filing with the Texas Comptroller, and we help you understand whether yours does.
03
State and local sales tax.
Texas charges a state sales tax and cities can add a local sales tax on top, so collected tax needs its own place in your books.
04
Unemployment tax for employers.
Texas paychecks have no state income tax withholding, but employers generally pay state unemployment tax through the Texas Workforce Commission.

Common Questions About Hiring an Accountant in DFW
Do you serve small businesses in every part of Dallas-Fort Worth?
Yes, Joseph takes clients anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, from Dallas and Fort Worth to Frisco, McKinney, and Princeton. Because meetings happen by phone or video, a business in Tarrant County gets the same service as one in Collin County. If your town does not have its own page on this site, you are still covered.
How does a virtual accountant work with a DFW small business?
You meet by phone or video at a time that suits your week, with no office to visit. Between calls, your books, payroll, and tax work keep moving, and you hear from us when something needs your input. A call between jobs, shifts, or customer orders is often easier to fit in than an office appointment.
How much does an accountant cost for a DFW small business?
Bookkeeping starts at $350 per month, with the final price based on transaction volume, account count, and closing schedule. Payroll, tax preparation, planning, and consulting are quoted after a call about your business. If we also handle your bookkeeping, you receive 20% off tax return preparation fees.
How do I start working with a DFW accountant?
Book a call and share what your business does, how your books are kept today, and which services you need. If your records are behind, catch-up work is reviewed and scoped first, before ongoing work begins. From there, you get a clear plan and a quote for the services that fit.
Which Texas filings should a DFW business discuss with its accountant?
The answer depends on your business structure and what you sell, but a few Texas filings come up often. Many businesses owe an annual franchise tax filing, sellers may collect sales tax, and employers generally pay state unemployment tax. We help you understand which of these apply to your DFW business and keep your books ready for them.
