Department of Revenue On June 13 the Department of Revenue mailed a request for information letter and Disclosure of Activity form to all family-owned noncorporate entities (“FONCE”) currently registered as exempt for franchise and excise tax purposes. The letter asked the FONCE to complete the disclosure of activity form and return it to the Department by July 18 or risk revocation of the FONCE’s exempt status. If your client is not a FONCE but receives a Disclosure of Activity form, he or she should fill in the name, address and FEIN information at the top of the form and then indicate on the top of the form that this entity is exempt under a different code section. The applicable code section or type of exemption as reported to Tennessee on the Application of Exemption should be noted on the form in the upper right hand corner. The form should still be signed, dated and returned by July 18. For more information, including a link to the Disclosure of Activity form, please see http://www.tscpa.com/hotwire/FONCE061208.html.
