An entity, including a combined group or an entity with zero Texas gross receipts, can file using the EZ Computation if it has annualized total revenue of $20 million or less. An entity with zero Texas gross receipts need only calculate total revenue and enter zero for Texas gross receipts. A passive entity as defined in Texas Tax Code Section 171.0003 and a Real Estate Investment Trust meeting the qualifications specified in Texas Tax Code Section 171.0002(c)(4) can file this report by blackening the circle that identifies them as such entities and completing only the taxpayer information part of the form. All entities except for passive entities are required to file a Public Information Report or an Ownership Information Report.
