Corporate Tax Lawyers in Waco

A "corporation" in Waco, Texas is an organization established under state law which is considered a separate "person" from any of the people who run it.

This system is sometimes called "corporate personhood" by Texas lawyers. It means, in simple terms, that the law treats a corporation just as it would treat a human being - having most of the legal rights and duties that also apply to individuals.

One of these obligations is the duty to pay income tax in much the same way as an individual person.

Every corporation in the United States is required to pay federal income tax. Most states also have a corporate income tax, which corporations doing business in Waco, Texas are required to pay.
