Other state tax obligations

Florida does not impose a franchise tax on LLCs. Florida's corporate income/franchise tax applies to corporations and to LLCs that have elected to be taxed as corporations; LLCs taxed as partnerships or disregarded entities for federal purposes are not themselves subject to Florida corporate income tax. An LLC classified as a partnership with one or more corporate owners must file a Florida Partnership Information Return (Form F-1065).
