Having it done for you
Mainstay Filing prepares and files the annual report as part of $199 a year, with Tennessee’s fee passed through at cost. The agent-only plan ($149) does not include it. Your agent itself is a separate matter: changing it in Tennessee costs $20 (Tenn. Code Ann. § 48-249-109).
What is the Tennessee LLC annual report fee?
$300, every year, to the Tennessee Secretary of State.
Is a Tennessee “annual report due” letter from a company real?
Only the state sets the Tennessee fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $300 includes that sender’s own charge.
