FL state return

I accidently filed and paid for a FL state return that wasn't necessary, if I call customer support and have it fixed, will it take longer to receive my tax return? Can I still receive my tax return without having to mail anything back and take the $50 loss?

A state return has nothing to do with a Federal return being processed at the IRS.  So if you started a FL return in error, that will not delay a Federal refund.   You can get a product refund for the state return, however.  Read below.

 

Florida does not have a state income tax.   Only people who have Florida businesses or rental property with tangible personal property have to file a DR-405 with the county property appraiser by April 1.

If you don't have a Florida business or rental property with such tangible personal property, then you do not have to file a Florida return.  You can choose to skip the Florida return, or delete the Florida return before paying and filing if it's not needed.

If you've already paid for it and don't need it as explained above, you can talk to TurboTax Customer Support and tell them you didn't need it.

Yeah I was charged for filing florida, but have no properties.  I submitted a refund claim already. Just seeing if this mate had any success get his state refunded to him.
