Frequently asked questions
Texas does not levy a state income tax on wages, but federal income tax, FICA and other payroll deductions can still reduce take-home pay.
School districts must exempt $140,000 of your home's value, and owners 65 or older or disabled get another $60,000 off. Once the home has a homestead exemption, its appraised value can't rise more than 10% a year, even if the market value rises faster.

Not as a sole proprietor, or in a general partnership owned entirely by individuals. An LLC is a taxable entity, but it owes nothing on its 2026 report if annualized total revenue is at or below $2.65 million. It still files a Public Information Report or Ownership Information Report.
It uses 2026 federal figures: federal income tax with the standard deduction and FICA (Social Security up to the wage base plus Medicare). Texas levies no income tax on wages, so there is no state figure to add. It assumes one wage earner, even on a joint return. It leaves out local or city taxes, itemized deductions, credits and other withholdings, so your actual tax depends on your full return.
No. It is an estimate for planning, not tax advice or a paycheck guarantee. It uses 2026 federal figures. Your real tax depends on deductions, credits, other income, and local taxes. Confirm with a tax professional before making decisions.
