Looking for a CPA in Houston does not always mean you need a simple tax return. Houston households and businesses still deal with federal tax, Texas franchise tax, sales tax, payroll, multi-state income, stock, rentals and growing companies. Dimov Tax Specialists provides Houston tax preparation, accounting and planning across the wider metro, without claiming a street address we do not have.

Tax preparation, bookkeeping, planning and business accounting for Houston individuals, owner-managed companies and growing teams.
Federal tax preparation for salary, investment income, RSUs, stock options, rentals, crypto, partnerships and side businesses. A personal tax accountant in Houston can also help when a move leaves income connected to another state.
Individual taxAccounting and tax work for Houston LLCs, S corporations, C corporations and partnerships, with federal filings and Texas franchise tax considered together.
Business taxMonthly bookkeeping for Houston businesses that need usable books, not a once-a-year cleanup. We structure the accounts around tax, reporting and management decisions from the start.
BookkeepingRegistration, filing, cleanup and nexus questions for Houston retailers, contractors, online sellers and service businesses. The state rate is only the first layer; the correct local rate depends on the transaction and location.
Sales taxEstimated payments, owner compensation, retirement contributions, gain timing, entity structure and year-end planning. A Houston tax advisor can help while there is still time to change the result.
Tax planningResponses to IRS letters, examinations, missing returns, balances due and records requests. We start by working out what the notice actually asks for and what deadline matters.
IRS helpPayroll setup and reporting for Houston employers, including the less glamorous part: keeping wages, distributions, contractor payments and books consistent with the tax returns.
Payroll
The useful question is not “does Texas have income tax?” It is “which taxes and filings actually touch this income, this company or this property?”
That distinction matters in Houston. A W-2 employee may have no Texas individual income tax return, while a business owner can have federal income tax, payroll filings, Texas franchise tax, sales tax and a Harris County business personal property rendition in the same year. Someone moving into Houston can also keep filing obligations in the state they left behind.
For 2026 and 2027 reports, the no-tax-due threshold is $2.65 million in annualized total revenue. That does not mean every entity below the threshold has nothing to file.
Entities at or below the threshold generally do not file a No Tax Due Report, but may still have a Public Information Report or Ownership Information Report requirement.
The Comptroller lists 0.375% for qualifying retail or wholesale businesses above the threshold.
The standard rate for businesses other than retail or wholesale is 0.75%, subject to the franchise tax calculation rules.
Texas imposes a 6.25% state sales and use tax. Cities, transit authorities and other local jurisdictions can add up to another 2%, producing a maximum combined rate of 8.25%.
Retailers, ecommerce businesses and taxable service providers need the right permit, the right sourcing treatment and the right local rate. A Houston address alone does not answer all three.
Use tax can apply when taxable items are bought from an out-of-state seller without the correct Texas tax being collected.
A Houston accounting firm can be working with an energy consultancy in the Energy Corridor, a medical practice near the Texas Medical Center, a contractor in Spring Branch or an ecommerce company in Cypress. The books and tax work should match the business, not just the ZIP code.
Partner compensation, multi-state projects, contractor reporting, equipment and travel can create a very different tax profile from a local salary-only household.
Rental activity, cost segregation, entity structure, contractor payments and sales tax treatment need to be separated carefully. “Real estate” is not one tax category.
Owner pay, retirement plans, equipment purchases, payroll and entity returns often matter more than the individual 1040 by itself.
Sales tax, payroll, tips, inventory, merchant deposits and cash controls all need books that reconcile before filing season begins.
Harris Central Appraisal District values property for local taxing jurisdictions. For 2026, HCAD lists May 15 as the usual protest deadline, or 30 days after the appraisal notice is mailed if that is later.
Texas does not impose an individual state income tax, but a move does not erase income sourced to the state you left. Stock compensation, partnership income, rental property and remote work can keep another state involved after your Houston move.
We work with clients across central Houston and the major suburban business corridors, with no invented local office address.
