Ma'am they want at the beginning xt number and i am not finding it on every document can you tell me where is XT number ??

[@LedgerGurus]

You should be able to find it by logging into your portal on the TX comptroller website.

[@potomoc11]

Great video. Very informative. I read the instructions on the Comptroller's website and they indicate that even if your revenues are below $2.47M, you still have to file a PIR or face a $50 fine. Can you clarify that? Thanks.

[@LedgerGurus]

That is correct. comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/franchise/ntd-rpt-updates-2024.php#:~:text=Taxpayers%20Under%20the%20No%20Tax,a%20No%20Tax%20Due%20Report.

@@LedgerGurus Form 05-102, Public Information Report (PDF) or Form 05-167, Ownership Information Report (PDF), I'm confused on which one I need to file?

[@conversionestates4483]

What about the last minute and late people (asking for a friend)? Is there a fee for filing after 5/15/24?

[@LedgerGurus]

Yes, there is a penalty for filing after the due date. comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/franchise/#:~:text=Penalties%20and%20Interest&text=A%20%2450%20penalty%20is%20assessed,5%20percent%20penalty%20is%20assessed.

[@superjtrdr]

where do you subtract cost of goods sold on the EZ form?

[@LedgerGurus]

A taxable entity that elects to use the E-Z Computation is not eligible for the cost of goods sold, compensation or other margin deductions and may not claim any credits (Texas Tax Code Section 171.1016). comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/franchise/faq/reports-payments.php#:~:text=A%20taxable%20entity%20that%20elects,Texas%20Tax%20Code%20Section%20171.1016).

My company is registered in 2022 with total revenue for 2023 is less than the threshold $2.47M. Do I need to fill the EZ computation or Information report only.

[@LedgerGurus]

Probably just an information report.

[@Islamic11110]

[@tcaldwell5330]

I received a letter & began my business in 2023 it hasn’t received any revenue do I still have to file? If so what form the PIR or OIR. I understand the money threshold but isn’t this for all businesses in TX I have an LLC…so confused

[@LedgerGurus]

[@tcaldwell5330]

For anyone still unsure you still have to file. I filed the OIR form. I called the comptroller office & got an awesome agent who walked me through the entire process online.

[@2292kika]

I got this message "what is that mean No period obligations found for taxpayer" when I try to fill and information report ? any idea why they won't let fill it ? I open my llc Sep 2019 and I'ma veteran. Please advice.

[@alejandrachavez2096]

That's the same thing that happened to me, do you know if we have to do something about it or are we fine?

[@LedgerGurus]

You need to call the state because there is an issue with your account.

[@anshukabathla868]

My organisation is non profit organisations . Do I need file franchise tax? Please clarify
