Hotel Tax WebFile Help

Scroll down this page to view sample screens and brief instructions as a general introduction to the new MyCPA and WebFile applications.

New users must establish a User ID and password through the “New User Registration” option prior to filing a return.

Users can register once and file for as many taxpayer IDs as needed. It is not necessary to create a User ID for each taxpayer account. And, multiple users may access the same taxpayer account, but only one user may complete and submit a report in the system.

Users that have already established a User ID and password should choose the “Returning User” option.


Enter your Account Profile information here or update your existing Account Profile.

This page confirms that you have completed your WebFile log in.

Enter the 11-digit Texas taxpayer number for the taxpayer.

A list of taxes available for filing in this application are listed in the Available Taxes column. Choose the tax you need to file.

First-time filers need to enter the WebFile number that is available on the preprinted tax return mailed to the taxpayer. The WebFile number begins with “RT” and is followed by a six-digit number.

The chosen tax is now in the Assigned Taxes column and is eligible to be filed.

Select the period to file.

Enter the data in the available fields and continue. Notice the period you are filing at the top of the page.

WebFile will automatically calculate all fields, including balance due, discounts, prior and pending payments.

Verify the data you entered is correct. Click “Edit” to change the data or click “Continue” if the data is accurate and requires no changes.


Review the payment options. Only taxpayers enrolled to pay Hotel Tax via TEXNET will see the “TEXNET – State of Texas Financial Network” option.

Taxpayers that select the “credit card” payment option will see this page. Continue to the next page for the credit card payment confirmation.

Confirm the “credit card” payment information is correct. Click “Edit” if you need to change the payment information or click “Submit Payment” if the payment information is accurate and requires no changes.

Taxpayers that select the “Web Electronic Fund Transfer” payment option will see this page. Continue to the next page for the “Web Electronic Fund Transfer” payment confirmation.

Confirm the “Web Electronic Fund Transfer” payment information is correct. Click “Edit” if you need to change the payment information or click “Submit Payment” if the payment information is accurate and requires no changes.
