Florida taxes, in short
Florida skips the personal income tax, but it has its own filings and deadlines that catch people off guard.
No state income tax, with exceptions
Most residents file only a federal return. Moving here mid-year, or earning income in another state, usually still means a return for that state.
Personal tax preparationSales tax
Businesses selling taxable goods or services file Florida sales tax returns on a schedule the Department of Revenue assigns.
BookkeepingApril 1 and May 1
Tangible personal property returns are due to the county by April 1, and Sunbiz annual reports by May 1.
Business tax returnsHurricane deadlines
After major storms, the IRS often postpones deadlines for affected Florida counties, which changes when notices and returns are due.
