Why a Florida paycheck has no state tax line
Florida's Constitution (Art. VII, s. 5) bars a personal income tax; Florida does impose a corporate income tax and reemployment (unemployment) tax on employers.
Your employer still withholds federal income tax from your Form W-4 and Social Security and Medicare. Not sure your W-4 is right? Use the W-4 withholding calculator.
Other deductions from a Florida paycheck
Florida has no employee-paid state disability, paid-leave or unemployment premium in 2026, so after income taxes the only required deductions are Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000).
