Plain-English Answers on Small Business Taxes
Generally, when your business net income consistently crosses $50,000 to $60,000 per year after expenses. At that threshold, the savings on the 15.3% self-employment tax easily outweigh the added administrative costs of payroll and corporate return preparation (Form 1120-S).
Every business entity in Texas must file by May 15. If your annualized total revenue is below the current Texas threshold (currently $2.47 million for the 2024–2025 cycle), you owe $0 in tax, but you MUST file a No Tax Due Information Report and Public Information Report to stay in Good Standing. We include this filing seamlessly with your federal business return.
Do not panic. Most IRS correspondence is an automated discrepancy inquiry rather than a full audit. As our client, you simply forward the notice to our office. Because we maintain Enrolled Agent authority, we can speak with the IRS directly on your behalf, provide workpapers, and resolve the matter quickly.
Yes, and in fact, we strongly recommend it. For pass-through entities (S-Corps, LLCs, Partnerships), the company’s taxable net income flows directly to your personal Form 1040 via Schedule K-1. Having one strategic team oversee both filings guarantees you maximize deductions without conflicting positions or duplicated taxes.
