How 1099 tax works in Florida
Florida levies no personal income tax for 2026, so the state column of the estimate above is zero. The federal layer still applies in full, a no-income-tax state does not reduce it.
On top of that sits the federal layer, which is the same wherever you live: self-employment tax plus federal income tax. The 1099 tax calculator hub works through how that half is built.

| Florida state income tax | $0 |
| Total tax | $9,732 |
