Webfile Overview
What does Webfile mean?
What is my Webfile number?
Where can I find my Webfile number?
Your Webfile number can be found in some correspondence from the Texas Comptroller.
You will get a welcome letter from the Comptroller about two weeks after your business is registered with the Texas Secretary of State. It can be difficult to request your Webfile number in the future, so we recommend that you save this welcome letter or, better yet, send us a copy so we can keep it safe for you.
You will also receive a reminder letter from the Comptroller each year about the May 15th due date. The Webfile number will be located at the top left corner of this letter.
What do I do if I can't find my Webfile number?
What do I Webfile?
The most common thing to Webfile is an annual report. LLCs are required to file an annual report each year between Jan 1 and May 15th (starting the year after formation). The purpose of the annual report is to provide current business information (mailing address, owners' names, etc) and to report revenues for purposes of calculating your franchise tax obligation, if any. Franchise taxes are only paid if the business makes more than the franchise tax threshold ($1.23MM for 2022).
If you must collect sales tax on the goods or services you sell, you can Webfile the required sales tax reports.
