FL state and local sales taxes deduction

[1597980]

This is my first year filing as a FL resident.  I see that the deduction is not applicable to me since I’m taking the standard deduction.  However, I do need to enter the tax rate and TurboTax generates a number, which I don't understand how it is calculated and if it matters.  Also, for the "locality" question, do I check "all cities"?  (Schedule A, line 5)

If you are taking the standard deduction, you do not need to complete Schedule A. Additional Florida does not have any State Income Tax, so there is no return to file for Florida.

Thank you very much!  I got an error message prompting me to fill in local sales tax rate (the state rate was auto filled by TurboTax).  It may be because I paid other state taxes in 2022 and TurboTax needs to calculate which deduction is larger (standard or itemized).  

I understand there is no Florida state income return.  Can you please confirm that I do not need to file a NY return as a full-time FL resident working as an independent consultant for a company located in NY?  My only self-employed income is 1099-NEC income from this NY company.  Based on my research online, my understanding is that I do not need to file but would like to have more specific reference.  

Thanks again.

This is correct. It doesn't matter where the company you work for is located or based from, it matter where you physically do your work. If you did not physically work in NY, you do not need to file a NY return.
