What else comes out of a paycheck in Florida
Florida's 5.5% corporate income tax touches C-corporations and LLCs that elect corporate treatment, not the self-employed: a sole proprietor files nothing with the state, and a single-member LLC disregarded for federal tax files no separate Florida return either. The first $50,000 of corporate income is exempt even for those that do file.
The state sales tax is 6% plus county surtaxes, the main state tax a Florida seller actually administers.

- Employee-side FICA only (7.65%). Your employer pays a matching share you never see.
- No local or municipal income tax, and no state disability withholding beyond what is described above.
- No credits, and no state-specific credits.
