LLC Formation Questions from Rockwall Clients
How much does it cost to form an LLC in Texas?
The Texas Secretary of State charges a $300 filing fee for the Certificate of Formation. Our professional fee for handling the full formation process, including document preparation, EIN application, and tax election strategy, is $350. Your total out-of-pocket cost is $650. Some Rockwall business owners also add registered agent services at $149 per year, though that fee is waived if you engage us for tax preparation or bookkeeping.
How long does Texas LLC formation take?
The Texas Secretary of State typically processes LLC filings within a few business days for online submissions. We prepare your documents promptly after our initial consultation, so most Rockwall clients have an approved LLC within one to two weeks from our first conversation. Expedited processing is available from the state for an additional fee if you need faster turnaround.
Do I need a registered agent for my Rockwall LLC?
Yes. Texas law requires every LLC to maintain a registered agent with a physical address in Texas. The registered agent receives legal and state correspondence on behalf of your business. We offer registered agent services for $149 per year, and that fee is included free with any tax or bookkeeping engagement. This gives Rockwall LLC owners one less thing to manage.
LLC vs S-Corp: which is right for my Rockwall business?
It depends on your income level and business structure. A standard LLC taxed as a disregarded entity or partnership is simpler and works well for many Rockwall startups. Once your net income exceeds roughly $50,000 to $60,000, an S-Corp election can reduce self-employment taxes significantly. Al reviews your specific revenue projections during your consultation and recommends the structure that saves you the most in taxes while keeping compliance straightforward.
Does Texas have a state income tax on my LLC?
Texas has no state personal income tax, which is one reason so many entrepreneurs are moving to Rockwall and the broader DFW area. However, Texas does impose a franchise tax (sometimes called the margin tax) on LLCs with total revenue above $2.47 million. Even if your Rockwall LLC falls below that threshold, you are still required to file a franchise tax report and Public Information Report each year by May 15. We handle both filings for $250 to $500 annually.
Can you help with bookkeeping and tax preparation after my Rockwall LLC is formed?
Absolutely. Most of our Rockwall LLC formation clients continue working with us for monthly bookkeeping ($300 to $600 per month), annual tax preparation, franchise tax filings, and sales tax compliance. Having the same CPA who formed your LLC also handle your books and tax returns means everything stays consistent and nothing falls through the cracks.
