Do reporting entities that are required to file a 1099-K Information Return with the IRS also have to file that return with the Tennessee Department of Revenue?

Yes. The Tennessee General Assembly recently enacted legislation which requires payment settlement entities, third party settlement organizations, electronic payment facilitators, and third parties acting on behalf of payment settlement entities to file duplicate federal 1099-K information returns with the Department of Revenue. The 1099-K information returns must be filed with the Department within 30 days of the filing due date required by the IRS. The 2015 returns are due by April 30, 2016.
