The State of Tennessee will automatically grant your business a 6-month tax extension if it was approved for a federal tax extension and have no state tax payment due. However, you will need to submit Tennessee Form FAE-173 (PDF) if your business needs to make a state tax payment or if you were not approved for a federal extension.

If your business does not need to make a tax payment and have received an approval notification from FileLater, there’s nothing more to do. Be sure to attach a copy of your extension form with your state tax return when filed.

Filing for a Tennessee tax extension will not provide you with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by your original filing deadline or interest and other payment penalties may apply.
