Do you need to file:
Who Must File Tax Returns in the State of Florida???
Corporations and artificial entities that conduct business, or earn or receive income in Florida, including out-of-state corporations, must file a Florida corporate income tax return unless exempt. They must file a return, even if no tax is due.
Sole proprietorships, individuals, estates of decedents, and testamentary trusts are exempted and do not have to file a return.
Corporations and other artificial entities, including those located in other states, that are partners in a partnership or members of a joint venture doing business in Florida must file the Corporate Income/Franchise and Emergency Excise Tax Return (Florida Form F-1120). A partnership must file a Florida Partnership Information Return (Form F-1065) if it is doing business in Florida and a corporation is one of the partners.
List of Business Types :
A limited liability company (LLC), classified as a corporation for Florida and federal income tax purposes, is subject to the Florida Income Tax Code and must file a Florida corporate income tax return.
An LLC, classified as a partnership for Florida and federal income tax purposes, must file Form F-1065 if one or more of its owners is a corporation.
In addition, the corporate owner of an LLC that is classified as a partnership for Florida and federal income tax purposes must file a Florida corporate income tax return.
A single member LLC, disregarded for Florida and federal income tax purposes, does not have to file a separate Florida corporate income tax return.
However, the income of the company is not exempt from tax if a corporation owns the company, whether directly or indirectly. In this case, the corporation must file Form F-1120 reporting its own income, and the income of the single member LLC.
S Corporations and tax-exempt organizations usually do not have to file a Florida corporate income tax return if they do not have federal taxable income.
If they have federal taxable income, however, they must then file a Florida corporate income tax return and pay any tax due.
Homeowner and condominium associations that file a U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return (federal Form 1120) must file Florida Form F-1120 or F1120A regardless of whether any tax may be due.
However, if they file a U.S. Income Tax Return for Homeowners Associations (federal Form 1120-H), they do not have to file a Florida return.

Who pays for unemployment compensation?
You, the employer, pay for unemployment compensation through a tax managed by the Florida Department of Revenue. It is one of your business costs. Workers do not pay unemployment tax and employers must not make payroll deductions for this purpose. The consumer bears this cost in the price of the goods or services you sell. Thus, the burden of unemployment is shared by all. Your payments go into a fund from which monies are paid to eligible claimants. After a qualifying period, employers with a stable employment history will receive a lowered tax rate.
Who Is Liable?
A new business must report its initial employment in the month following the calendar quarter in which employment begins. You can register to pay unemployment using our secure Internet site. You are liable if you meet any of the following conditions:
You have quarterly payroll of $1,500 or more in a calendar year.
You have one or more employees for a day (or portion of a day) during any 20 weeks in a calendar year.
You are an agricultural employer and have five or more workers for a day (or portion of a day) during any 20 weeks in a calendar year, or a $10,000 cash payroll in any calendar quarter.
You are a domestic employer with a cash payroll of $1,000 or more in a calendar quarter.
You are liable for federal unemployment tax.
You purchase all or part of a liable business, or the combination of your payroll or employment and that of the business you purchased meets the liability criteria.
You are a nonprofit organization as defined in section 3306(c)(8) of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act and s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and have four or more employees for a day (or portion of a day) during any 20 weeks in a calendar year.

Florida Sales and Use Tax
Each sale, admission charge, storage, or rental is taxable unless the transaction is exempt. Sales tax is added to the price of the taxable goods or service and collected from the purchaser at the time of sale. Florida’s general sales tax rate is 6 percent.
Use Tax
Use tax is due on the use or consumption of taxable goods or services when sales tax was not paid at the time of purchase. For example:
* If you buy a taxable item in Florida and didn’t pay sales tax, you owe use tax.
* If you buy an item tax-exempt intending to resell it and then use the item in your business or for personal use, you owe use tax.
* If you buy a taxable item outside Florida and bring or have it delivered into this state and you didn’t pay sales tax on the item, you owe use tax.
Should you have any questions, free consultation available. Call us today.
