Learn MoreCommon Tax Problems for Houston Residents
While Houston taxpayers face the same IRS code as everyone else, certain issues are more common in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metro area due to the local economy, cost of living, and industry mix.
Energy Industry Employment Tax Issues
Houston's energy sector employs thousands of engineers, geologists, and field workers — many as independent contractors or consultants. Self-employment tax obligations (15.3%) plus income tax catch many off guard. The cyclical nature of the industry means boom-year income followed by lean years, creating tax payment challenges. The IRS also heavily scrutinizes energy-industry deductions: vehicle expenses, travel, home office, and depletion allowances.
Payroll & Trust Fund Tax Issues for Energy Service Companies
Houston has hundreds of small oilfield service and contracting companies. When cash flow tightens during industry downturns, some business owners fall behind on payroll tax deposits. The IRS treats unpaid trust fund taxes (employee withholding + Social Security/Medicare) as its highest collection priority and can assess the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty personally against any responsible person.
Medical & Healthcare Professional Tax Audits
The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex in the world. Houston physicians, surgeons, and healthcare professionals face elevated IRS audit risk due to high income, complex practice structures (PLLCs, partnerships), and significant deductible expenses. The IRS frequently examines physician tax returns for: improper business deductions, unreported consulting/speaking income, and classification issues.
International Tax & Expatriate Worker Issues
Houston's energy industry employs many foreign nationals and sends US citizens abroad on expat assignments. Foreign bank account reporting (FBAR), foreign earned income exclusion (Form 2555), and tax equalization agreements create complex IRS compliance obligations. The IRS has made international tax enforcement a priority, with steep penalties for FBAR non-compliance — $10,000+ per violation.
