How do I file and pay franchise and excise tax online?

Taxpayers should file their franchise and excise tax using TNTAP.

 The following transactions can be completed on TNTAP:

• File a franchise and excise tax return (Form FAE170).
• File a franchise and excise tax return for an entity that only owes the $100 minimum franchise tax.
• Make quarterly estimated payments.
• Make an extension payment.
• File the annual exemption renewal (Form FAE183).
• Make a payment for an e-filed annual return.

Note: Effective Jan. 1, 2014, all franchise and excise tax return filings and payments related to form FAE170 must be made electronically. This includes extension payments and estimated payment filings.
