Planning notes
What to keep in mind when evaluating Florida
Florida is commonly compared during relocation decisions because wage income is not taxed at the state level.
Federal withholding and FICA still apply, so no state tax does not mean no payroll tax.
Compare Florida against a high-income-tax state to see whether the salary difference offsets the tax gap.
