Our goal is to bring all resources needed by software developers into one place If there is any information or documentation you would like to see added, let us know.

Franchise Tax Web Service

Franchise Tax Web Service enables vendors and qualified entities to develop software using XML schemas for securely transmitting Franchise Tax reports and payments. Using the service eliminates paper reports and expedites status notification. Learn more about Franchise Tax Web Service development and how to participate.

Franchise Tax Preparation Software and Substitute Form Development

Computerized tax processors, commercial printers, software producers, payroll companies and other companies or individuals developing substitute Texas Franchise Tax forms can email us for additional information.

Tax forms and schedules that are generated using unapproved software will not be processed properly, resulting in rejected filings and potential liability for your customers.
