Guía No. 001 — Preguntas Frecuentes

Frequently asked questions

Answers about the manual itself — what's inside, how it's delivered, and what it isn't. For questions about your specific tax situation, that's what Chapter 17 (and a real CPA) is for.

About the manual
Q01

What exactly do I get when I buy it?

All 17 chapters plus the appendix, delivered as a downloadable PDF and Word document — the introduction, five parts covering entity setup, Texas taxes, federal obligations, payroll, and ongoing compliance, plus a bilingual glossary and resource directory.

Q02

Is this specific to Texas, or does it cover other states?

Texas only. The tax rules, thresholds, and agencies referenced throughout are specific to Texas — if you're setting up in another state, the general structure (federal vs. state vs. local layers) still applies, but the specific numbers won't.

Q03

How current is the information?

The 2026 edition reflects rates, thresholds, and rules current as of 2026 — including the 2026 franchise tax no-tax-due threshold and the new business personal property exemption. Tax rules change, so always confirm current numbers before filing.

Q04

Is this legal, tax, or immigration advice?

No. It's educational content meant to help you understand what exists and ask better questions — not a substitute for a licensed Texas CPA, tax attorney, or immigration attorney reviewing your specific situation.

Buying & access
Q05

How is it delivered?

Instantly, as a download link after purchase. No physical copy, no shipping.

Q06

Do I get updates if the rules change?

Yes — when 2027 thresholds and rates are announced, buyers of the current edition get the updated version at no extra cost.

Q07

Can I read a sample before buying?

Yes — Chapter 6 (Franchise Tax Explained) is free to read in full. It's linked from the homepage.

Language & format
Q08

Is the manual in English or Spanish?

The current edition is in English with a bilingual glossary of key terms. If you'd rather read a fully Spanish edition, reach out — demand for that is part of what decides whether it gets built next.

Q09

Do you cover industries other than general small business?

The current edition is general-purpose. Industry-specific versions (restaurant, professional services, e-commerce) are being considered based on interest.
