Texas LLC — Frequently Asked Questions

Does Texas have a state income tax?

No. Texas does not impose a personal income tax. LLC members are not taxed at the state level on their pass-through income. However, Texas does have a franchise (margin) tax that applies to businesses with total revenue exceeding $2.47 million. Most small LLCs fall below this threshold and owe nothing.

What is the Texas franchise tax?

The Texas franchise tax is a privilege tax on businesses operating in Texas. LLCs with total revenue at or below $2.47 million owe no tax but must still file a No Tax Due Report annually. LLCs above that threshold pay either 0.375% (wholesale/retail) or 0.75% (other industries) of their taxable margin.

What annual filings are required for a Texas LLC?

Texas LLCs must file an annual Franchise Tax Report (or No Tax Due Report) with the Texas Comptroller by May 15 each year. There is no separate annual report filing with the Secretary of State. If your LLC owes no franchise tax, the No Tax Due Report has no filing fee.

How do I form an LLC in Texas?

File a Certificate of Formation (Form 205) with the Texas Secretary of State. The filing fee is $300. You can file online through SOSDirect for faster processing. You'll also need a registered agent with a physical address in Texas.
