Military retirement pay in Florida

Varies

Does Florida Tax Military Retirement Pay?

Short answer: No. Florida has no state personal income tax, so military retired pay is not taxed. With no income tax, Florida relies more on sales and property taxes; older homeowners get this break: $50,000 homestead exemption: $25,000 off all taxes plus $25,000 off non-school taxes; Save Our Homes caps yearly increases at 3%.

Military retired pay is taxable federally; VA disability compensation isn't taxed federally or by any state.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
