TurboTax Deluxe Windows

Best answer by AndreaC1

There is no income tax for state of Florida, so there is no return to be filed. Please see below.

NOTE: If you are using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you can go to File tab, go through screens and on the Select the Returns You're Ready to E-file screen, choose Do not e-file my state return now and then proceed to e-file your federal.

If you are using TurboTax Online version, go here How do I delete my state return in TurboTax Online? for steps to delete the state return; if you haven't paid or registered it yet.

Florida does not require you to file a state income tax return. You can file a federal return as a Florida resident, but there is no state return for Florida residents.

To clarify your question, are you receiving an error message when trying to e-file? Is there a problem with a needs review message? What are you seeing when you try to e-file?

@AndreaC1's post shown above, gives a great explanation of what to do. Take any reference to the Florida State Tax return out of your return, and you will be able to E-file your federal taxes. As stated several times earlier, you do not have to file a Florida tax return because there is not an income tax in Florida.

If this does not completely answer your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.
