Florida Residents: No Personal State Income Tax Return Required
Florida levies no personal state income tax, which means Florida residents have no state return to file and no state extension to request. Your state-level income tax obligation simply does not exist. Federal income tax obligations still apply, however – and if you need more time on your federal return, you will need to act at the federal level.
State Filing
No Florida Return Required
