"I was referred to Dimov Partners by my company's bookkeeper when we needed to file our corporate returns, after having suffered through two different disappointing bookkeepers and CPAs. Their responsive and thorough work -- and at a very reasonable price -- led me to have them file my personal returns as well. They showed the same dedication to getting our returns filed quickly, and got us the maximum return that we were entitled to." -Eric Montgomery

Texas Franchise Tax, the 8.25% Rate and San Antonio HOT Obligations

Four methods are available to calculate taxable margin for franchise tax purposes. Each one creates a distinct number on the same revenue. Most San Antonio operators chose one at formation and have not revisited it since. The combined San Antonio sales tax rate reaches 8.25%, split across state, city, ATD, and MTA components. A state-only registration will not cover all four. STR operators carry three separate HOT obligations: City HOT: 9% (remitted to the City of San Antonio) Bexar County HOT: 1.75% (remitted to the City of San Antonio) State HOT: 6% (remitted to the Texas Comptroller) Monthly filings are required even in zero-receipt periods. Our bookkeeping services in San Antonio feed directly into those state and local filings so the numbers reconcile before a single return goes out.

JBSA Military Tax Issues, Physician K-1s and Foreign Account Reporting in San Antonio

A PCS move establishes Texas domicile. It does not close the prior state’s file. We see this every cycle with JBSA-connected households: a relocation to San Antonio and then a notice sourcing a year-end bonus to the period it was earned, not the date it was paid. Physicians at the South Texas Medical Center arrive with three income streams that cannot share a line: W-2 hospital income 1099 director fees Practice K-1s Mexico-connected investors face FBAR, Form 8938, and Form 3520 obligations that exist entirely outside Texas, regardless of where they live.

San Antonio's HOT and Franchise Tax Systems Catch Operators Twice

The Texas Comptroller and the City of San Antonio are entirely separate systems with no shared reporting. Tax preparation in San Antonio that ends at the federal return leaves both tracks open simultaneously. An STR operator who files state HOT but skips city and Bexar County remittance faces two independent penalty clocks, with no prompt from either agency. Defense contractors at Port San Antonio with multi-state payroll face franchise apportionment questions that generic software will not resolve. That is what CPA San Antonio contractors and STR operators search for when the notices land.

Does a San Antonio LLC owe Texas franchise tax if there is no profit?

A franchise report is due May 15, every year, regardless of profit. Four calculation methods produce four different numbers on the same revenue. Most entities pick one at formation and never revisit it. We run all four methods at intake, identify the lowest compliant liability, and file against that figure.

We PCS'd to JBSA from Virginia and received a Virginia tax notice. What do we owe?

Texas domicile does not close Virginia’s file. Virginia sources income to when it was earned, not when it was paid. A bonus earned partly in Virginia may still carry Virginia tax after the move. We are the CPA San Antonio JBSA families call for exactly this after a PCS.

We've only filed state HOT for our San Antonio STR. How do we fix the gap?

Three systems, three filing schedules. City HOT runs 9% and Bexar County 1.75% (both remitted together to the City of San Antonio), plus state 6% (remitted to the Texas Comptroller). Voluntary disclosure to each agency limits penalty exposure. We set all three accounts up and correct the back periods.

How do I protest a Bexar County property tax appraisal?

File a protest before May 15, or 30 days after the notice, whichever is later. Miss that window and the value is locked for the year. We file the protest and prepare the comparable sales analysis BCAD requires.

Our Port San Antonio firm has multistate staff. How does Texas franchise tax treat out-of-state revenue?

Texas uses a receipts-factor method. The Texas Comptroller divides Texas-sourced revenue by total revenue to set the taxable margin. Four calculation methods are available and each produces a different result. We run the comparison before filing.
