Tennessee annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Tennessee reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Tennessee filing agency ↗Tennessee LLC reports
Tennessee LLC annual reports are due on the entity's statutory annual-report schedule and cost $300 minimum up to $3,000. The fee is $300 plus $50 for each member over six, capped at $3,000; the portal should be used to confirm the exact due date and status.
Tennessee corporation reports
Tennessee for-profit corporation annual reports cost $20, plus an additional $20 when a registered agent or registered office change is reported. The corporation must list required officers/directors and file on the Secretary's statutory schedule; confirm the entity's due date in the portal.
Tennessee franchise and business taxes
Tennessee does not impose a Secretary of State franchise-tax filing fee in the corporate registry. Tennessee Department of Revenue franchise and excise taxes are separate and can depend on net worth, apportioned income, entity classification, and other statutory calculations; use current Revenue guidance.
A registry report and a tax filing can have different deadlines and payment recipients. Check both before considering the year complete.
Late fees and missed-report penalties
The reviewed Tennessee forms page does not state one universal late-report penalty. Missing annual reports can produce delinquency, administrative revocation/dissolution, and additional state tax interest or penalties; determine the entity-specific balance through the portal and Revenue account.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Failure to file required annual reports, pay fees, or maintain an agent/office can lead to administrative dissolution or revocation after statutory notices and cure periods. The precise timeline varies by entity and the notice, so the registered agent must monitor the public record.
Reinstate a Tennessee business
Search the status, file the SS-9410 Application for Reinstatement following administrative dissolution/revocation, submit every missing annual report, restore the registered agent and office, pay the $70 reinstatement fee and all delinquent reports/fees, clear tax issues, and verify active status. Foreign entities may need the appropriate cancellation/authority form instead.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
Tennessee SS-9410 reinstatement is $70; termination following administrative dissolution is $100 where applicable. Add every delinquent annual report, LLC member-based annual fee, registered-agent/office charges, and separate Department of Revenue taxes, interest, and penalties.
