Don’t take our word for it. Take theirs.
Verified reviews from families, LLC owners and self-employed folks around Austin who stopped going up against the IRS by themselves.
“I came to Right Step Tax needing help with my LLC taxes, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I've made. I had a bunch of questions about deductions, quarterly filings, and how to properly structure everything — they walked me through all of it without making me feel rushed or lost. What I appreciate most is how approachable they are. It doesn't feel like a transactional experience where you just drop off your documents and hope for the best. They actually sit down with you, review everything together, and make sure you understand what's going on with your own finances. That level of attention is hard to find. They caught a few things I would have completely missed on my own, which ended up saving me money. My LLC taxes went from being my biggest headache every year to something I don't even stress about anymore. Highly recommend them if you're a small business owner looking for someone who actually cares about getting it right.”

Frequently asked
Questions we get every week.
The ones that come in over WhatsApp and in the office — answered without the jargon.
What is an ITIN and what can I actually do with it?
An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a 9-digit number the IRS issues to people who have U.S. tax obligations but don't qualify for a Social Security number. With one you can file your taxes, open a bank account, form an LLC, get approved for credit cards and start building a credit score. It does not give you work authorization. Your return information is confidential by law: Internal Revenue Code §6103 requires the IRS to protect it, and the IRS does not routinely share it with USCIS — apart from the narrow exceptions the law itself allows, such as a court order. More about the ITIN →
How do I get an ITIN, step by step?
You need Form W-7, valid ID (a passport is the cleanest option) and, in most cases, that year’s tax return. We’re IRS Certified Acceptance Agents, so we verify your documents in our office — you never mail your passport off and hope it comes back. The IRS issues the number in about 6-8 weeks, 9-11 during tax season. More about the ITIN →
Can I file taxes with an ITIN?
Yes. We prepare returns with an ITIN whether you already have one or need to apply for the first time — both happen in the same appointment, so you’re not making two trips. W-2, 1099 or self-employed, your refund comes through even without a Social Security number. See how we do taxes →
How much does it cost to open an LLC in Texas?
Texas charges a $300 state filing fee for the LLC itself. Our full package — state filing, EIN with the IRS, Operating Agreement and Registered Agent — is a flat price on top of that. Your LLC is usually ready in 7-10 business days. After that you file a Franchise Tax Report every year, and we keep that deadline on the calendar with you. See the full package →
Can you open my LLC if I don't have a Social Security number?
Yes. Texas doesn’t require an SSN to form an LLC — your ITIN or your passport works. We also get your EIN from the IRS without an SSN, and we’ll go with you to open the business bank account at the banks that actually accept an ITIN. See the full LLC package →
What is bookkeeping and when do I actually need it?
Bookkeeping is recording your income and expenses every month, reconciling your bank accounts and producing real financial reports (Profit & Loss, balance sheet). You need it once you have an LLC or you’re self-employed with more than about 50 transactions a month — without clean books you get to April with no idea what you can deduct, and you pay more tax than you owe. See our bookkeeping service →
How much does this cost, and when do I find out?
You find out before any work starts. The first consultation is free, and you get the price and the scope in writing before we touch your return — so nothing gets added at the end. Government fees are separate and we name them up front: Texas charges $300 to file an LLC, and the IRS charges nothing to file a return.
What if I haven't filed in years?
We get you caught up, no lecture. We work backwards from the most recent year (the IRS generally wants the last 6 years for back filing). If it turns out you owe, filing is still the right move — not filing is what stacks up the penalties. We read every IRS notice with you and stay next to you while you make the call. And if the case turns into an audit or a debt that has to be negotiated, we say so up front and refer you to a specialist with full representation rights. Let’s talk about your case →
