Remote bookkeeping — monthly close, cleanup, and books ready for your CPA.

Texas taxes through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts at a 6.25% statewide base rate, with local rates stacking on top and economic nexus for remote sellers at $500,000 in sales. Filing runs monthly, quarterly, or annually by liability. Because Texas runs an annual bracket, low-volume e-commerce and online sellers can go twelve months between returns — which is exactly how long a liability account can drift before anyone looks at it.

Employer registration runs through the Texas Workforce Commission, and the entity is registered with the Texas Secretary of State. Remote sellers may elect a single local use tax rate instead of tracking every jurisdiction. The franchise tax is a separate annual filing.

Marketplace sales vs. your own channels in Texas

Marketplace facilitator rules mean large platforms generally collect and remit Texas tax on sales made through them. Your own site, wholesale, and direct sales are a different matter — those remain yours to collect and report. Keeping the two streams separate in the books is what makes the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts return match reality.

Texas rates and sourcing

The Texas statewide base rate is 6.25%. That sits mid-table nationally, with local rates layered on top and sourced to the delivery address rather than to your own location. Sourcing is where this is won or lost, and with economic nexus set at $500,000 in sales, it becomes your problem the moment that threshold is crossed.

Filing cadence in Texas

Texas assigns filing frequency by liability — monthly, quarterly, or annually by liability. Because Texas includes an annual bracket, a low-volume seller here can go a full year between filings, which is exactly when a liability account drifts unnoticed. We reconcile it monthly regardless of when the return is due.

We keep the books. You run the business.

Categorization, reconciliation, month-end close, and clean financial statements — with nothing left for you to chase.

E-Commerce & Online Sellers Bookkeeping in Texas — Frequently Asked Questions

Do e-commerce and online sellers need to register for sales tax in Texas?

+
If you cross $500,000 in sales, Texas generally expects you to register with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and begin collecting. Physical presence also creates an obligation. We track your Texas activity against the threshold and flag it as you approach — whether to register, and how to handle any prior period, is a decision to make with your CPA or a tax professional.

How often do e-commerce and online sellers file in Texas?

+
Texas sets it by liability — monthly, quarterly, or annually by liability — and moves you between brackets as volume changes, so it is worth confirming each year rather than assuming. We close the month against the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts calendar you are actually on.

Which Texas agencies do e-commerce and online sellers deal with?

+
Three: the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for sales tax, the Texas Workforce Commission for employer registration and unemployment, and the Texas Secretary of State for the entity itself. Separate account numbers, separate portals, separate deadlines — and a notice from one tells you nothing about your standing with the other two.

Do e-commerce and online sellers pay Texas state income tax?

+
Texas has no state income tax on ordinary income. Separately, [object Object]. We keep the books that those filings are built from and hand them to your CPA or tax preparer reconciled; we do not prepare or file income tax returns ourselves.

Do you prepare income tax returns for e-commerce and online sellers?

+
No. We are a bookkeeping firm, not a licensed CPA firm or a registered tax preparer, and we do not prepare or file income tax returns. We prepare and file sales and city tax returns and 1099 information returns, which are bookkeeping functions, and we hand off clean reconciled books to your CPA or tax preparer for anything income-tax related.
