Texas has no state income tax, so tax time here really comes down to one thing done well: an accurate federal return that claims everything you're owed. Compass Tax Center handles exactly that — personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. We're not on a street corner in Houston or Austin; we're wherever you are, a secure upload and a phone call away.
Texans voted a ban on a personal income tax right into the state constitution, so there's no state return to file. For most people, your taxes come down to one federal return — and we make sure it's accurate, on time, and claims every dollar you're owed.
No state form to wrestle with means your energy goes where it counts — a federal return that's right the first time. Whatever your year looked like, we handle it, and we're here after April, too.
In November 2025, Texas voters approved a major round of property-tax relief. The school-tax homestead exemption jumped from $100,000 to $140,000, with an even larger exemption for homeowners who are 65 or older or have a disability. There's also a new exemption for business inventory worth up to $125,000. For a typical Texas home, that's roughly $490 in savings a year — and more for seniors.
Property tax is the biggest tax most Texans pay, so this is worth understanding. It's handled locally, not on your federal return, but it affects your planning and any deduction you claim. We'll help you make sense of what it means for you.
Texas's “no income tax” reputation is real — but a few other taxes still come into play, especially for homeowners and business owners. If any of these are you, they're firmly in our wheelhouse.
You don't need a tax office down the road — you need the right person handling your return. Everything we do is secure and fully virtual, so working with us is exactly as easy from El Paso as it is from downtown Houston. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Texas, your tax help doesn't have to change.
