What are accounts receivable and accounts payable?

Simply put, accounts receivable is the money your customers owe you for sales you've made but haven't yet received. Accounts payable is the money you owe to your suppliers or vendors for bills you haven't paid yet. Keeping track of both helps you understand how cash flows in and out of your business, so you can manage your money better.

Texas Business Tax Deadlines & Compliance Calendar

Texas businesses must meet several federal and state filing deadlines throughout the year. Staying ahead of these dates helps avoid penalties and ensures your bookkeeping remains compliant.

While Texas does not have a state income tax, businesses may still need to file federal returns, Texas franchise tax reports, and sales tax filings depending on their activities.

Key Tax Filing Deadlines

Deadline Filing Requirement What’s Needed
Jan 15 Final estimated tax payment (prior year) Profit estimates for the final quarter
Mar 15 Partnership & S-Corp returns (Form 1065 / 1120S) Completed year-end financial statements
Apr 15 Individual & single-member LLC returns Schedule C and personal tax documentation
Apr 15 C-Corporation tax return (Form 1120) Corporate financial records
May 15 Texas franchise tax report Annual revenue and ownership information
Sep 15 Partnership / S-Corp extension deadline Finalized records for extended filers
Oct 15 Individual / corporate extension deadline Final accounting for the tax year
Jan 15 Final Estimated Tax Payment Profit estimates for the final quarter.
Mar 15 Partnership & S-Corp Returns Completed year-end financial statements.
Apr 15 LLC & C-Corp Returns Required federal filings and corporate financial records.
May 15 Texas Franchise Tax Report Annual revenue and ownership info for the state.

Important Texas Compliance Rules

Texas Franchise Tax Deadline Most entities formed or operating in Texas must submit a franchise tax report by May 15 each year.
Revenue Threshold Rule Businesses below the state’s revenue threshold may not owe tax, but they must still submit required reports to remain in good standing.
Texas Sales Tax Filings Businesses that collect sales tax typically file reports on the 20th of the month, depending on their filing frequency.

Maintaining accurate bookkeeping throughout the year makes these filings easier to prepare and submit on time.
