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