  • The Verdict is In. The Texas Franchise Tax is GILTI, Raising New Questions and Potential Issues
    Beginning with the 2026 report year, the Texas Comptroller will align the franchise tax with the current Internal Revenue Code, likely requiring GILTI to be included in total revenue. This change raises sourcing, statutory and potential constitutional questions for businesses with foreign operations, creating new uncertainty and possible tax impacts.
  • NIL Income for Student-Athletes: Tax Implications and Emerging Pitfalls for Practitioners
    The expansion of NIL opportunities has created complex tax issues for student-athletes, whose income is generally treated as self-employment business income. Common pitfalls include unreported non-cash compensation, multi-state tax exposure, weak recordkeeping and limited financial literacy, all of which heighten audit risk. As IRS scrutiny increases and new reporting rules emerge, CPAs must understand these challenges to effectively advise this growing group of taxpayers.
  • Data Processing Services – SaaS and Software Licenses
    Cloud-based SaaS is treated as a taxable data processing service in Texas, with 80% of the sales price subject to sales tax, compared with 100% taxation for traditional software licenses. Taxpayers using SaaS in multiple states can further reduce Texas tax by allocating the software’s usage between Texas and non‑Texas locations. This often results in significant savings and may allow refunds for past overpayments.
