Overview
Tennessee has no state income tax, so there is no withholding requirement. Tennessee employers with covered employment must instead file quarterly UI wage and premium reports with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The TaxBandits API supports the automation of Forms LB-0456 and LB-0851, Tennessee's quarterly UI premium and wage reports.
Forms supported
| Form | Type | Filing frequency | Due date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form LB-0456 / LB-0851 | UI | Quarterly | Last day of the month following the quarter end |
Tennessee has no state income tax; therefore no withholding filing required by the state.
Key compliance notes
- Two-part filing. Form LB-0456 (Premium Report) calculates total UI premium owed; Form LB-0851 (Wage Report) details individual employee wages for the quarter.
- Zero filing required. Both forms must be filed every quarter, even if no wages were paid or no premium is due.
Before filing, you can simulate the entire verification flow in our Sandbox environment without submitting real data to state agencies. See how
