As a small business owner in Nashville, what are the key local business taxes I need to be aware of for 2026, beyond the state franchise and excise tax?
Beyond the state’s franchise and excise tax, Nashville businesses should be mindful of the local business tax (LBT) levied by Metro Nashville and Davidson County. This tax applies to gross receipts for businesses operating within the county, with specific rates varying based on the business classification. You’ll also need to consider any applicable local privilege taxes for certain industries or activities.
When is the deadline to file my Tennessee Hall Income Tax return for investment income in 2026, and what are the current exemption thresholds?
The deadline for filing your 2026 Tennessee Hall Income Tax return for interest and dividend income remains April 15, 2027, aligning with the federal deadline. For 2026, the exemption threshold for this tax is $1,250 for individuals and $2,500 for joint filers. Given the ongoing phase-out of the Hall Tax, ensure you’re aware of any legislative changes affecting its applicability.
I'm a retiree living in Knoxville; can I deduct my out-of-state pension income on my Tennessee tax return, or are there specific Tennessee tax benefits for seniors?
As Tennessee does not have a state income tax on wages, salaries, or out-of-state pension income, you generally won’t need to deduct it on a state return. However, Tennessee does offer property tax relief programs for qualifying elderly homeowners, which could significantly reduce your local tax burden. We can help determine your eligibility for these specific programs.
