General Information

Use this screen to complete the Texas Franchise Tax Report. If information transferred from UltraTax/1120 does not require additional data or coding, UltraTax/1120-TX displays the information on the form only, and not in the input screen.
Year of return
UltraTax/1120-TX is designed so that any client processed using UltraTax/1120 has the appropriate Texas tax returns required for filing. To accommodate this, UltraTax/1120-TX contains two separate sets of the Texas Corporation Franchise Tax Report.
When processing a Texas Franchise Tax Report for an annual report, UltraTax CS selects the correct set of Texas forms, depending on whether the client has a calendar or fiscal year-end.
  • Calendar-year-end clients (December 31,
    2024
    ) are required to file the
    2025
    Texas Corporation Franchise Tax Report.
  • Fiscal-year-end clients (years ending January through November of
    2024
    ) are required to file the
    2026
    Texas Franchise Tax Report.
The initial release of the Texas application provides a nonsubmittable set of the
2025
Texas forms. These forms allow the preparation and review of a draft of the Texas return for fiscal-year-end clients without waiting for the State of Texas to release its
2025
Texas Corporation Franchise Tax Report.
After the State of Texas releases its
2025
forms in January of
2025
, Thomson Reuters releases an update that allows printing and submission of returns for those clients previously processed with taxable years ending January 5,
2024
through November 30,
2024
.

If there is an Annual Report and data is entered for clients with a 1/5/[[ut_py_yy]] - 12/31/[[ut_py_yy]] fiscal-year end in UltraTax/1120-TX prior to the January update for the
2025
Texas forms, the return is printed on
2024
Texas forms and is not submittable. It will contain a watermark saying DO NOT FILE. Printing a submittable
2025
Texas return for fiscal years ending 1/5/[[ut_py_yy]] - 12/31/[[ut_py_yy]] is possible with the January
2025
fiscal update to the UltraTax/1120-TX application.
