A quick check

Does the county notice mean an audit?

An audit, a review, or a compilation is a report a lender, an investor, a grant, or a board relies on. A Tom Green County letter about a half percent is a split inside a month that matches the bank statement. Most owners here are never asked for that report.

The San Angelo CPA alternative for this receipt is a Tax CFO.

Steven Palmieri is a Tax CFO, not a CPA firm. He closes each month to the bank, sets payday up on the provider you run, and puts the state, city, and county pieces on their own lines while the year can still move. The free call says whether that fits your file.

A receipt total splitting into a state piece, a city piece, and a county piece, then the month checked

Every number, read before it is filed.

An accountant answers the county notice. The Tax CFO asks why one number became two, and then goes through the rest of the year the same way: what the owner takes out, which month to finish early, what the return will show before it is written.

The notice gets an answer in grey, then the year is read in gold
What the two lines actually are

A receipt in San Angelo often shows one tax amount. Under that amount the state takes 6.25 percent, the city takes 1.5 percent, and Tom Green County takes 0.5 percent. The city code is 2226017. The county code is 4226008. Added up, the stack stops at 8.25 percent, which is the Texas maximum. The trouble starts when software stores the whole stack in one box and the county box stays empty.

The county piece has been in place since the first day of 1988. It is easy to miss, because the customer saw one number and the deposit matched that number. The return to the Comptroller still wants the local pieces named. A notice usually means the two local jurisdictions did not get the split they expected.

We do not treat that notice as a mystery. We open the closed months, find the deposits, and put the city piece and the county piece on their own lines. We put each piece on its own line before that month closes. If a month was never closed, we close it first. An open month is not a place to hide a correction.

What a closed month contains

We call a month closed only when it matches the bank statement. The feed is matched. Uncleared checks are named, not shrugged at. The two sales lines agree with the deposits. Payroll sits in the accounts the provider already uses, and we do not invent a second payday. Fixed assets that were bought are on a list, not buried in supplies.

That close is the raw material of the return. When the same people keep the month and later prepare the return, the October conversation is about a year you can still change. Owner pay, estimates, and the shape of the entity are still movable then. In March they are a story about a year that already happened.

An unfinished month is not given a reading. We finish it, or we wait, and that choice is spoken before a letter is signed. Either the month gets closed, or the work waits. Both answers are finished answers. The San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo is in February. We close February when the month ends, and we close March on the day March ends. We put the Thursday sale's deposits in the week they belong to. We keep the school rate, the sales stack, and the May report each on its own line.

Six troubles owners name

Six months we can still close before the return is written.

  1. 1One receipt, two taxes

    We split the city piece from the county piece before the return is touched.

    A seller reports 1.5 percent to the city under code 2226017 and 0.5 percent to Tom Green County under code 4226008. With the state 6.25 percent the stack is 8.25 percent. One blended number hides which box was short.

  2. 2Rendition week in April

    We draft the list from the asset records while the date is still quiet.

    The equipment list for a business is filed by 15 April, and only a written request shifts that filing to 15 May. The list is easier while the month is already closed, and harder if the trucks are still a guess.

  3. 3The May franchise report

    We read which rate the entity actually is, and you confirm the revenue band.

    The report is due 15 May. Retail and wholesale use 0.375 percent. Other businesses use 0.75 percent. Under 2,650,000 dollars of revenue, report years 2026 and 2027 carry no franchise tax.

  4. 4A lodging week at 13 percent

    We keep the occupancy tax on its own line so it never masquerades as sales.

    The city charges 7 percent and the state charges 6 percent. A full week in February can look like a great month. The tax still leaves on its own date, and the quieter months still have to close.

  5. 5Payday set up, not run here

    We connect the accounts to the provider you already use, and then we stop.

    Setup is the registrations, the mapping, and the first clean file. The provider pays the people. We do not cut checks, and we do not take the payday over after that.

  6. 6October can still move

    We show the estimate and the owner pay while the year can still change.

    A number decided in October is cheaper to move than the same number discovered in March. Only a month that has already been locked is allowed to feed the return.
