Getting Current in Fort Worth
Fort Worth clients fall behind for different reasons than in some cities. A homeowner never reported small royalty cheques, a trucking company grew faster than its office, or a family ranch stopped filing farm returns after a parent died. Businesses also miss franchise tax reports when an entity was formed for one purpose and left alone. BOMCAS helps Fort Worth businesses and households rebuild what is missing and file in a sensible order, remotely.
Texas penalties and voluntary disclosure are covered under Texas back taxes and late filing. Below are Fort Worth catch-ups.
Unreported Royalty Income
Operators report royalty payments to the IRS on Form 1099-MISC, and the IRS matches them against returns. Homeowners who did not report their royalties receive notices proposing extra tax, penalties and interest. Often the actual tax is lower than proposed, because depletion and property tax on the minerals were not taken into account. We review the notice, prepare amended returns or a response and request penalty relief where appropriate.
Missed Franchise Tax Reports
An LLC that holds a warehouse, a few wells or a ranch still has to file franchise tax and information reports each year, even when no tax is due. Missed reports lead to penalties and forfeiture of the right to do business, and eventually of the entity's existence. That can block a sale, a refinancing or a lawsuit. We file the reports, pay what is owed and reinstate the entity.
Trucking Payroll and Heavy Vehicle Tax
Fast-growing carriers sometimes fall behind on payroll deposits, misclassify drivers or miss Form 2290 for heavy vehicle use tax, which is needed to register trucks. IFTA fuel tax reports may also be late. We reconstruct the payroll and fuel records, file the missing returns and look at whether drivers were correctly classified, since reclassification can carry back taxes and penalties.
Ranch and Farm Returns
When a family stops filing for a ranch, the IRS may not notice right away, but the problems build: depreciation is lost, losses are not carried forward and the agricultural registration number may lapse. We rebuild farm income and expenses from bank records and sale receipts, file the returns and restore the registration.
Sales and Mixed Beverage Tax
Bars and restaurants that fell behind on sales or mixed beverage returns face penalties, interest and permit problems. Coming forward through the Comptroller's voluntary disclosure programme before being contacted can waive penalties. We estimate the liability and prepare the returns.
Property Tax
Unpaid property tax becomes delinquent on February 1, with penalties and interest growing each month and collection fees added later in the year. Owners who lose agricultural valuation through neglect may also face an additional tax. Payment agreements are available, and homeowners 65 or older or disabled may defer homestead taxes.

Fort Worth Back Taxes and Late Filing Questions
I received an IRS notice for royalty income. What should I do?
Respond by the deadline. The proposed tax often ignores depletion and other deductions, so a corrected calculation may be lower.
Does an LLC holding a ranch need to file franchise tax reports?
Yes, every year, even if no tax is due. Missed reports lead to forfeiture.
What is Form 2290?
The federal heavy vehicle use tax return, required for trucks of 55,000 pounds or more and needed for registration.
Can a farm return be filed late?
Yes. Late returns still preserve depreciation and loss records and can restore the farm's standing.
