Questions

Mississippi tax FAQs

10 answers about taxes in Mississippi.

Do you prepare Mississippi state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident Mississippi returns and file them with the Mississippi Department of Revenue, together with your federal return.

When are Mississippi individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the Mississippi Department of Revenue deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Does Mississippi have a sales tax?

Yes. Mississippi charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help Mississippi businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the Mississippi Department of Revenue.

What payroll registrations does a Mississippi employer need?

Employers generally register with Mississippi for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make Mississippi estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, Mississippi generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in Mississippi?

Mississippi applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in Mississippi before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of Mississippi. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the Mississippi Department of Revenue?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the Mississippi Department of Revenue when you authorize us to.

Can a Mississippi business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with Mississippi businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.

Which Mississippi cities do you serve?

We have dedicated pages for Jackson, Gulfport, Southaven, Hattiesburg, and we work with clients anywhere in Mississippi.
