Sovos ETM: Tennessee Updates for Spring Reporting

Tennessee just updated their reporting guide and introduced some changes. The biggest change is they have adopted the NAUPA Standard Relationship Codes. This is a list of relationship codes that was recently approved by NAUPA and many states are now adopting their use. My favorite thing about the new codes is that they include complete descriptions. This is huge as no one is born knowing what relationship codes are and their definitions have been a mystery to most holders until now.

You can view Tennessee’s updated forms here. The list of relationship codes and their full descriptions can be found on page 11 and 12 of the Reporting Guide here.

One last note, Tennessee asks that we not send coversheets any longer. They have no need for a hard copy of the coversheet.
