Tennessee annual report: the one that counts your partners.
Tennessee prices its LLC annual report like a guest list: $300 minimum, plus $50 for every member past six, up to a $3,000 cap, due the first day of the fourth month after your fiscal year ends, April 1 for most companies. Corporations pay $20 for the same calendar. It is the only report in America that gets more expensive when the partnership grows, and nobody models it until the invoice does.
This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.
Four facts cover the whole system
A once-a-year confirmation filed with the Secretary of State: addresses, registered agent, and officials refreshed on the record, with your member count driving the price. It is separate from the state’s franchise and excise taxes. What we file for you →
The first day of the fourth month after your fiscal year closes: April 1 for calendar-year companies, October 1 for a June fiscal year. Copying a neighbor’s deadline is how fiscal-year companies go wrong here. Put yours on a watched calendar →
$300 minimum for an LLC through six members, then $50 per additional member to a $3,000 cap; corporations pay $20 flat. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
Roughly two months of grace, then dissolution or revocation grounds attach: domestic entities face administrative dissolution, foreign ones lose their authority. Reinstatement settles the missed reports first.

Three hundred to start, fifty a head after six
The Tennessee LLC annual report is $300 minimum, rising $50 per member beyond six to a $3,000 cap, due the first day of the fourth month after fiscal year end, April 1 for calendar-year companies; corporations pay $20. Roughly two months past due, dissolution or revocation grounds attach. Model the fee before you admit the partner, because Tennessee will invoice the roster.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Ahead of your date: file now at the fee your roster sets. Behind it: file inside the two-month grace, because grounds attach after it and the fee never got cheaper by waiting.
Every member past six adds $50 to every future year’s report, forever. We model the compliance cost of the admission alongside the operating agreement changes, so the invoice never surprises the partnership.
Then April 1 is not your date, and borrowing it is how fiscal-year companies lapse. We read the fiscal year from your record and set the calendar to your books.
They added three partners, and April added $150
At six members the report was $300 and we filed it like a utility bill. Then we admitted three partners in one good year, and the next April cost $450, which no one had modeled in the admission math. Now every new-partner conversation includes one line item nobody expects: fifty dollars, annually, forever. In Tennessee, growth amends your state invoice.

What is the annual report filed with the Tennessee Secretary of State?
A once-a-year filing confirming your addresses, registered agent, and officials on the state record, priced by your LLC’s membership count. It is separate from Tennessee’s franchise and excise taxes, which run on the revenue side. We prepare and file it as part of annual report service.
When is the Tennessee annual report due?
The first day of the fourth month after your fiscal year ends: April 1 for calendar-year companies, later for fiscal-year ones. The date follows your books, not the crowd’s, which is why we read it from your record and keep it on a watched calendar.
How much does the Tennessee annual report cost?
For an LLC, $300 minimum through six members, plus $50 per additional member, capped at $3,000; corporations pay $20 flat. The roster on record sets the price each year. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
What happens if I miss the Tennessee annual report deadline?
Roughly two months of grace, then grounds attach: administrative dissolution for domestic entities, revocation of authority for foreign ones. Reinstatement requires the missed reports at their membership-priced fees. The grace period is real, and it is the whole of Tennessee’s patience.
Does adding members really raise my Tennessee report fee?
Yes, permanently: each member beyond six adds $50 to every future annual report until the $3,000 cap. It is the only report in the country priced by headcount, and it belongs in the math of every admission decision. We model it alongside the operating agreement work.
Do foreign-registered entities file a Tennessee annual report too?
Yes, on the same fiscal-year schedule at the same membership-based fees, on top of home-state filings, with revocation rather than dissolution waiting past the grace. Our multi-entity dashboard tracks every state you operate in.
Can File.Business file my Tennessee annual report?
Yes. We calculate your date from the fiscal year on record, project the fee from your membership, file ahead of the deadline, and verify standing after it posts, with the state fee, transaction fee, and our service fee itemized up front, one-time or on the automated plan.
