Tennessee State Income Taxes

The state of Tennessee's filing deadline is April 15th, much the like all the other states. However, this tax isn't applied to your wages, which makes Tennessee a lot different from other states.

Filing your Tennessee state income tax return

Tennessee income tax is very simple. The state does not apply a tax to salaries and wages. Only income earned from investments such as stocks, bonds and notes is taxable.

The amount of dividends and interest you darned during the year that exceeds the limit for your filing status is taxable at a rate of 6.0%. For single household filers this maximum amount is $1,250 and for joint filers it is $2,500.

Companies doing business in and individuals living in Tennessee are responsible for filing Form INC 250 by April 15th.

Sidebar
You can work on your Tennessee tax return online while filing your federal return (you can work on it for free, and pay nothing until you are ready to file), or use tax preparation software that you install on your computer.

Note: if you are filing more than one state return, you must either use the software, or file a paper return for each additional state, as TurboTax for The Web only allows one state prep.
