Lived and Florida and moved to Texas.
Neither state requires a return as far as I know.
In TurboTax (windows/desktop) I get the following:
Florida Does not tax your personal income or investments
You only need to file a Florida return if:
You have business or rental property
You own business equipment or real estate
Based on your entries you probably dont need to file Florida return
Then a few pages later:
Lets take care of your state taxes
Good News you dont need to file a state return since Texas does not require a personal income tax
BUT BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW YOU STILL NEED TO COMPLETE A FLORIDA RETURN
And on the next page I am prompted to start Florida return.
Is it that
1. I need to file FL after all for some reason? If so what is it.
2. TurboTax in typical fashion is trying to upsell me on buying state return?

The Florida return in TurboTax, Form DR-405, is to report tangible personal property used in connection with a Florida-located business or rental real estate and is printed and mailed to your county property appraiser's office by April 1st.
If you do not have tangible personal property to report, choose Skip State in the State Taxes section.
If you proceeded past the warning screens, try deleting the Florida return --> https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1900608

If you have self-employment or rental property in Florida. there is a Tangible Personal Property Tax. Anyone who owns TPP on January 1 and who has a proprietorship, partnership, or corporation, or is a self-employed agent or a contractor, must file a tangible personal property return to the property appraiser by April 1 each year (section 193.062, F.S.). Property owners who lease, lend, or rent property must also file. This form is not prepared or filed by Turbo Tax so you should not add the state return. See Tangible Personal Property (TPP).
I'm not sure how this relates or answers my question. I don't have any property in Florida nor have I entered any such information during TurboTax interview process.
On one screen TT mentions that I do NOT have to fill out FL return but then it states that I DO have to fill one out.
No, you do not need to file a Florida tax return if none of the situations mentioned in MaryK's post apply to you.
