Texas nonprofit organizations are not required to pay Franchise Tax. However, they are still required to file a No Tax Due Form every year if they have not been granted an exemption. The state may also send out a mandatory "Franchise Tax Questionnaire" shortly after your organization is registered with the state. This must be filed on-line using the "webfile" number listed at the top of the form. |
