Frequently Asked Questions about forms, documents and links
What is the most secure way to send my tax documents to BBL?
Use our secure online client portal rather than email. Click into the “Client Center” at the very top of the website above. Log in with the credentials from your onboarding, then drag and drop your files. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, and your accountant is notified the moment you upload, so sensitive information stays protected around the clock.
Which tax form do I need for a contractor I paid?
If you paid a contractor $600 or more during the year, you generally collect a Form W-9 from them upfront and issue a Form 1099-NEC after year-end. Unsure how it applies to your business? Our Port Arthur team answers these questions year-round, not just at tax time.
How do I check my federal tax refund status?
Use the “Check Your Federal Refund” tool link above. You’ll need your Social Security number, filing status, and the exact refund amount from your return to see current status.
Where do I file Texas sales tax?
The Texas Comptroller’s system is where you register, file, and pay state sales and use tax for your business. If you’d rather hand it off entirely, our payroll and accounting teams handle sales tax filings for Southeast Texas clients.
Not sure which form or document you need?
Guessing at tax forms is how small mistakes turn into IRS letters. If you’re staring at this page unsure where to start, just ask. Our Port Arthur team has guided Southeast Texas businesses and individuals since 1950, and we’re available year-round, not only from January to April. Tell us what you’re trying to accomplish and we’ll point you to the right form, link, or service.
