Entities with limited liability protection that are doing business and have substantial nexus in the state must file a franchise tax return on form FAE170. If the computed franchise tax is less than $100, the minimum $100 franchise tax is due.
Additionally, a taxable business that is inactive or has had its charter or other registration forfeited, revoked, or suspended, but has not been dissolved or otherwise properly terminated with the Tennessee Secretary of State, must file a return and pay the minimum franchise tax.
