Forgive me if this is a stupid question, I'm working for a start up and have just been tasked with paying all the sales taxes due from January until now. I am filing our Texas state taxes and on the State Comptroller site they are having me pay both state and local taxes, but not applying the local tax payments to any specific municipality. Why do they do this and how do I get them to apply it to the correct municipality? I come from the non-profit world so I am new to taxes.

TIA

Texas has a consolidated sales tax system, meaning you pay all local and state sales taxes to one entity and they then divide it up and forward on.

However, in the process of filing the sales tax return, it should list out the various entities receiving funding. This is usually done in a screen where you allocate sales among various local jurisdictions. If this screen doesn't come up, something may not be set up correctly.

Call the comptrollers office & they can set up separate sites for you. Had to do this last quarter.
