Franchise Tax Preparation in Houston, TX

As a business owner, you have a lot on your plate. From managing day-to-day operations to keeping up with the latest changes in your industry, it can be tough to find time for everything.

At Molen & Associates, we have more than 40 years of experience helping businesses in Houston, Texas stay compliant with all the latest tax laws. One of the commonly missed compliance laws we see missed is not filing franchise tax returns.

What is Franchise Tax?

Franchise tax is a tax levied by the state of Texas on each LLC that is formed in the state. The amount of the tax is based on the total amount of income that the LLC earns in a calendar year. All LLCs are required to pay this tax every year, regardless of whether or not they are making a profit.
