Compute the tax by multiplying Florida net income by the appropriate tax rate (i.e., generally 5.5% but reduced to 3.535% for tax years beginning between January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021). Corporate income tax is reported using a Florida Corporate Income/Franchise Tax Return Form F-1120 or Form F-1120A.
