Changes to some Tennessee forms
As of April 21, 2021, the Tennessee Secretary of State requires all formation documents and annual reports that are filed with their office, either online or in person, to include a business email address.
The Tennessee Secretary of State will use that email address to send notifications (such as Annual Report reminders, Notices of Determination, etc.) to the company.
