Tennessee LLC Annual Report: $300 Minimum, Due April 1

Tennessee LLCs file an annual report with the Secretary of State, and the fee is $300 at minimum, up to a maximum of $3,000. The fee goes up by $50 for every member over 6.

The report is due on the first day of the fourth month after the close of the LLC's fiscal year (T.C.A. § 48-249-1017). The articles default the fiscal year to December, which makes the deadline April 1.

If you miss April 1

The Secretary of State's FAQ says an entity that fails to file its annual report on time may be administratively dissolved and placed in inactive status. No separate late fee is listed. To reinstate you file the Application for Reinstatement Following Administrative Dissolution/Revocation (Form SS-9410), which costs $70, and you need tax clearances from the Department of Revenue. We could not confirm whether back reports are also due.

Where these figures come from

• The Secretary of State's business FAQ gives the $300 to $3,000 fee, the $50-per-member increase and the dissolution rule.
• Form SS-4270 (Articles of Organization) and its instructions explain the due date rule and the December default.
• The forms and fees page lists the $70 reinstatement application.
• TNCaB is where the report is filed, after you create an account.

How to file the Tennessee annual report

1. Find your due date: the first day of the fourth month after your fiscal year ends (April 1 if you kept the December default).
2. Create a TNCaB account if you do not have one; the Secretary of State requires it before you can file.
3. Choose File Annual Report in TNCaB, search for your business and pay the fee. An email confirms processing.
4. Repeat every year, and keep the business email on file current because reminders go by email.
