What to do next

For reports due in 2024 or later, an eligible entity at or below the threshold generally does not file a No Tax Due Report. It generally still files a Public Information Report (PIR) or Ownership Information Report (OIR), unless an exception applies.

How to calculate Texas franchise tax in 2026 or 2027

First, determine whether your entity is subject to Texas franchise tax and find its Comptroller-defined total revenue for the accounting period. If the period is shorter than 12 months, divide that revenue by the days in the period and multiply by 365 to check the $2.65 million no-tax-due threshold. Annualized revenue of $20 million or less may qualify for EZ computation. The EZ method apportions actual period revenue to Texas and applies a 0.331% rate. The Long Form uses a different margin calculation, and the lower tax method depends on your records.

Does no tax due mean no filing?

Usually no. For reports due in 2024 or later, an eligible entity within the threshold no longer files a No Tax Due Report, but it generally must still file a Public Information Report or Ownership Information Report. Some entity types and special situations follow different rules. The Comptroller warns that missing an information report can affect an entity's right to transact business.

When should you use the official Texas account-status search?

Use the Comptroller's lookup when you need to verify an entity's official franchise tax account status. This calculator cannot inspect the state's records. It only evaluates the figures you provide against published thresholds and an optional EZ formula.

Texas franchise tax questions

What is the Texas franchise tax no-tax-due threshold for 2026 and 2027?

The no-tax-due threshold is $2,650,000 in annualized total revenue for both the 2026 and 2027 report years. Compare annualized total revenue—not profit or Texas receipts alone—with the threshold.

Do I need to file a Texas No Tax Due Report under the threshold?

For reports due in 2024 or later, an eligible taxable entity at or below the threshold generally does not file a No Tax Due Report. It generally still files a Public Information Report or Ownership Information Report unless a specific exception applies.

How do I calculate Texas franchise tax with the EZ method?

If eligible, start with actual total revenue for the report period. Multiply it by the Texas gross receipts divided by gross receipts everywhere, rounded to four decimal places, then multiply apportioned revenue by the 0.331% EZ rate. The EZ method does not allow margin deductions and may not be the best method for every entity.

Do I use annualized revenue to calculate the EZ tax?

Annualized revenue is used to test the no-tax-due threshold and EZ eligibility when the accounting period is shorter than 12 months. The EZ tax itself uses actual total revenue for the accounting period.

When is a Texas franchise tax report due?

An annual franchise tax report, when required, is ordinarily due May 15 of the report year. A weekend or legal holiday can move the due date. Check the Comptroller’s current instructions for your year and situation.

Is this an official Texas franchise tax account status lookup?

No. This is an educational estimate based on numbers you enter. It does not access the Comptroller’s records, decide whether an entity is taxable or exempt, or file a report. Use the Comptroller’s account-status search for official status.
