I feel silly for asking this; really, really silly. I just did my taxes using an online filing site. I’ve done this for a couple of years, although this year was the first time using this particular website. Entered all my W-2 info in, everything looks good. I finish my federal and it sends me to the e-file page. Well, wait…what about my state return? I click on the tab labeled State (right next to Federal) and it says “Add a state” I click on the drop down menu and I don’t see Florida. OK… I look at my W-2’s and see boxes 15 through 20 are blank. These are the state information boxes. So I filed my federal return. How do I go about filing my state return? Here’s the silly question: Am I supposed to? Are those boxes blank for a reason? Please be kind ---

Florida has no state income tax. ---

Well, that makes sense. :rolleyes: Thanks for the link, **Johnny** ; I also checked out Wikipedia. There are no stupid questions, there are no stupid questions, there are no stupid questions… ---

Of course, I’ve never been to Florida and I only googled. So you might want to call the state tax board just to be sure. ---

The state withholding boxes (15-20) are blank. Looks like I’m good; my federal return was accepted by the IRS.
