Deductions & credits
Payroll taxes are on your 941s but they don't have a separate line item.
If you're using the 941 to calculate your payroll tax it is the total of half of the amount of social security and medicare reported in box 5 of your 941 minus any amounts reported on lines 7 thru 9 or 11.
Basically, you take social security and medicare out of your employees paychecks. Then, when you file your 941, you have to pay a matching amount of that into the system on your employees' behalf. That's what you get to deduct.
You also get to deduct the gross wages that you pay which include their share of social security and medicare as well as any withholding tax.
The easier way to get them (provided you don't have any amounts on lines 7 - 9 or 11 of the 941) is to take the amounts from box 4 and box 6 of your W-3 and add them together.
As to your second question, all businesses in Florida are required to file a Florida Corporate Income/Franchise Tax return every year. It is done on form F-1120. It's due by May 1st if you don't have a fiscal year.
Here is the information on Florida's Corporate/Franchise return.
