The questions, in order

Can you file if last month is still open?

No. An open month stays unread. We close it with you, or we wait. A return stacked on an open month is how April becomes a surprise.

Do you run payday?

No. Paychecks leave from the provider already chosen. We only draw the account map those payments should land in, and we refuse to type a second payday beside it.

Is the sales tax one number?

On the receipt it looks like one number. In the books it is four. State 6.25 percent, city 1 percent, county 0.5 percent, transit 0.5 percent, inside the city. The codes are 2071013, 4071004, and 3071889.

When is the franchise report due?

15 May, or the next business day. The 2026 and 2027 reports carry a zero when revenue has not crossed 2,650,000 dollars. Goods sellers are on the 0.375 percent computation. Every other entity sits at 0.75 percent.

When is the property bill due?

Bills go out in October and payment is due by 31 January. Leave January unpaid and the bill is late as February starts. The business property list is due 15 April, or 15 May with a written request.

Do you have a room here?

No. The file is shared and the meeting is a screen. This city is not where the practice keeps a room. The home page is the place that arrangement is written, and the sentence does not change on this page.

What if I need an audit?

Then you need a firm that holds the license. Audit, review, and compilation leave this practice. The disclosures page names the statute. You hear the boundary before any other topic.

Which papers make the first meeting useful?

One month the bank already matches, or the name of the month that will not. A notice, if you have one. A messy folder is allowed on day one.

What does a closed month look like in one sentence?

The bank already agrees, the items that have not cleared are named, and the four sales pieces match the deposits. If any of those three is missing, the month is still open and the return waits.

Can the four pieces live in one box when the total is right?

No. A total of 8.25 percent can still be posted to the wrong local box. The notice names the box that was short, not the total the customer already paid.

Who do I call if a number on this site is wrong?

The phone in the footer. Name the page. A wrong rate comes down, or it is rewritten so it matches the sheet that printed it. A form note works the same way if you would rather write.

A festival weekend does not move the due date.

The Plaza Classic Film Festival began in 2008 and screens more than 60 movies across the weekend. A dark room and a picture older than the morning's argument is a pleasure we recognize as Texans, from our own towns, without a ticket we can claim in that theatre. The festival does not move 15 May, and it does not close books the bank has not matched. Enjoy the picture. The books still have to be brought to the call.

Ask the question the list missed.

If your question is not above, write it. If it is above, name the books it belongs to.
