You may already have a MyCPA user account if you have used MyCPA for WebFile.
Accessing More than one Account:
You can register once for the MyCPA Secure Portal and establish access for as many taxpayer IDs as needed. It is not necessary to create a User ID for each company account.
Access for More than one User ID:
More than one company representative can establish access to the same taxpayer account with a MyCPA login. However, we highly recommend that one individual be responsible for updating your vendor profile.
Questionnaires for Franchise Tax Accountability
What is the Franchise Tax Accountability Questionnaire?
The Comptroller sets up a franchise tax account for your business based on information provided from the Texas Secretary of State and other sources. The Franchise Tax Accountability Questionnaire allows you to update your entity's information with us online. This includes providing a mailing address (the Secretary of State has a registered agent address only), as well as establishing the tax responsibility beginning date and determining the first report due date for non-Texas entities.
Who must file the questionnaire?
Texas corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and professional associations newly registered with the Secretary of State, as well as non-Texas corporations and limited liability companies newly registered with the Secretary of State, must complete the questionnaire online. A notice will be sent to you shortly after registration which will contain the information you need to get started.
All other entities, whether Texas or non-Texas, must complete and submit a paper questionnaire.
