Florida does not levy a state personal income tax on wages. Pay stubs for Florida workers still usually show federal income tax and FICA. Local rules can still matter in some situations — verify if your city or industry has separate requirements.

Regardless of state income tax, most employees still have federal income-tax withholding (Form W-4 / Publication 15-T methods) and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) deducted. See our FICA guide and federal withholding guide.

Florida employers should follow applicable wage-statement and payday rules from the state labor agency. Employees should expect clear gross pay, deductions, and net pay each period. Requirements for electronic delivery vary — check the labor department resources linked in Sources.

Florida has no state wage income tax. Focus on federal withholding, FICA, and Florida wage-payment practices. Reemployment tax is generally an employer topic, not an employee stub deduction.
