Rental income and expenses, depreciation, multiple properties, and the records Tennessee expects you to keep for sales tax on short stays.

Quick local tax notes
Paying subcontractors? For payments made in 2026, the Form 1099-NEC reporting threshold is $2,000 (it was $600 for payments made before 2026). More for contractors.
Renting a cabin for short stays? Tennessee sales tax applies to lodging rentals of less than 90 consecutive days, including required cleaning and pet fees. Rental owner basics.
No state income tax on wages. Tennessee has no state income tax on earned income, so most households file a federal return only.
