You opened the week not sure which filing is the one that can actually cost you. The standing dates do not all fall in one week. This page is how we look at a week, and which office each date belongs to.
In any given week an owner might have nothing due, or a sales tax 20th, or a payroll deposit on the provider's calendar, or a rendition, or a franchise report. Those do not become one task because they share a Monday. We name the office. The Comptroller is not the appraisal district. The payroll provider is not either of them.
This page cannot know your week until you tell us the date you are standing on. What it can do is show the way we sort a week. First the date that can incur a penalty. Then the date that is only a close. A close can move a day inside the month. A statutory date cannot, unless the office that owns it says so.
If you arrived here wanting the list for the calendar week of your visit, use the form and name the Monday. We will answer with the dates that are actually yours. A public page that pretended to know your permit would be guessing.
Sales tax for monthly filers shows up on the 20th of the following month. If this week contains a 20th, that is the first thing we check. Then we check whether your permit is monthly. A quarterly filer can watch a 20th go by in May and owe nothing that day, because the quarterly dates are April, July, October, and January.
Franchise reports cluster in May for calendar year entities, on May 15. If this week is the week of May 15, the report is the page to open, and the sales tax page can wait unless a 20th is also in the week. Both can be true. We still prepare them from different workpapers.
Renditions cluster in April, on April 15, with a possible written extension to May 15. If this week is mid April, the list of property is the likely open item. If this week is mid May, the question is whether the extension was requested, and whether a notice of value has started a protest clock.
Payroll deposits follow the schedule of the provider and the IRS lookback, which is not a 20th and not May 15. We set payroll up. You run it. If a payroll date falls in this week, it is on your provider's screen, and we will look at it with you if the engagement includes watching those filings.
Every Texan can appreciate Hermann Park, with the zoo, Miller Outdoor Theatre, and the museum in the same stretch of trees. We enjoy that a Thursday can be a park day as much as you do. Then we ask what the week still owes. A museum afternoon does not file the return. It does remind us that a week has room for both a life and a date, if the date was prepared before the afternoon.
Hermann Park is a Thursday Texans already know. This practice does not keep a room beside the zoo or the theatre. The sentence is only the bridge from a place Texans know to the work of the week, and we do not pretend we live beside the park. The work is still the books and the filing.
If your week contains none of the standing dates, the useful work is still the close. August is the famous quiet month. A week in August with nothing due is exactly when a month gets skipped. The page about August is about that skip. This page is about noticing the skip while the week is still ordinary.
Tell us the Monday, the entity, and the filings you already know about. We will add the ones the calendar says are close, and we will take off the ones that are not yours. A yearly sales tax permit should not carry a monthly alarm. We would rather delete an alarm than collect a needless payment.
Bring the last closed month in the same note. A date that is due this week and a month that is three months behind are related. The filing may still go in, and the books still need a plan. We will not pretend the filing fixes the books or the books erase the filing.
The phone works if the week is too close for a form. The form works if you would rather write it down. Either one reaches the practice. Nothing here is a promise that a penalty disappears. Some weeks are already late. We start from the week you are actually in.
Rates and thresholds used elsewhere on this site stay on those pages. This page is the sorter. State 6.25, city 1, and METRO 1 are the row for an address inside the city and inside the transit area, and only for the sales tax return, not for the week in general.
Name the Monday and the last month you closed.
This note comes straight to the people who keep these filings.
