Texas state-coded deduction review

Franchise-tax–coded deduction review for TX entities — §171.101 taxable-margin umbrella plus §171.002 / §171.1032 / §171.001 carve-outs on business-meals / standard vehicle-mileage / SEHI deduction disallowance, each grounded in TX Comptroller Franchise Tax Bulletins 96-256 / 96-145 / 96-1309 / 98-298. No state individual income tax — TX ships the franchise-tax review lane rather than the §105/§54A/§206 income-tax lane the other three states ship.
