Does Florida have a state income tax in 2026?

Do I still pay federal taxes if I live in Florida?
Yes. Federal income tax and FICA (7.65% for Social Security and Medicare) apply no matter where you live. For most earners those federal taxes are far larger than any state income tax would be.
Is moving to Florida a guaranteed tax saving?
Not necessarily. States without an income tax often make up revenue through higher sales, property, or excise taxes, so compare your full cost picture — housing, property tax, and insurance — not just the income tax line.
