Checking a Florida CPA

CPAs are licensed by the Florida Board of Accountancy, part of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). You can search a license on the DBPR website or on CPAverify.org. Check that the license is active before you hand over financial records.

Florida taxes

  • No personal income tax at state level - one reason so many people move here.
  • Corporate income tax: C corporations doing business in Florida file a Florida corporate income tax return. Many LLCs and S corporations do not pay it directly, but the rules depend on how the business is taxed.
  • Sales and use tax: the state rate is 6%, and most counties add a discretionary surtax.
  • Tangible personal property tax: businesses file a return with the county property appraiser for equipment and furniture.

Moving to Florida?

Becoming a Florida resident does not automatically end your tax ties to your old state. States like New York and California may still expect a part-year return, and they look closely at where you really live. A CPA who handles relocations can help you file correctly in both states and keep the records that prove your move.

Free help with a simple return

IRS-certified volunteers prepare simple returns for free through the VITA and TCE programs. TCE focuses on people aged 60 and over, with questions about pensions and retirement.
