Generally, Florida Form F-1120A is due the later of: (1) For tax years ending June 30, the due date is on or before the first day of the fourth month following the close of the tax year. For all other taxable year ends, the due date is on or before the first day of the fifth month following the close of the tax year. For example, Florida Form F-1120A is due on or before May 1, 2024 for a taxpayer with a tax year ending December 31, 2023; or (2) The 15th day following the due date, without extension, for the filing of the related federal return for the taxable year. For example, if the federal return is due on May 15, the related Florida Form F-1120A is due on June 1. You must file a return, even if no tax is due. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or state or federal holiday, the return is considered to be filed on time if postmarked on the next business day. For a calendar of filing due dates for Florida corporate income tax returns go to the Department’s website at floridarevenue.com/taxes/cit/duedates. Note: A late-filed return will subject a corporation to penalty, whether or not tax is due. Extension of Time to File To apply for an extension of time for filing Florida Form F-1120A, you must complete Florida Form F-7004, Florida Tentative Income/Franchise Tax Return and Application for Extension of Time to File Return. To obtain Florida Form F-7004 see "Contact Us" on page 4. Go to the Department’s website for information on electronic filing and payment of tentative tax. You must file Florida Form F-7004 to extend your time to file. A copy of your federal extension alone will not extend the time for filing your Florida return. See Rule 12C-1.0222, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), for information on the requirements that must be met for your request for an extension of time to be valid. Extensions are valid for six months, with the exception of extensions for taxpayers with a June 30 tax year end which are valid for seven months. Only one extension may be granted per tax year. Payment of Tax You must pay the tax due, as shown on Line 9 of the return, and either file your return or extension of time by the original due date. Payment must be in U.S. funds. If your tax payment is not on time, penalties and interest will apply. If you electronically pay, or you electronically file and pay at the same time, you must initiate electronic payments and receive a confirmation number no later than 5 p.m. ET on the business day prior to the due date to avoid penalty and interest. See the Florida eServices Calendar of Electronic Payment Deadlines (DR-659) at floridarevenue.com/forms in the eServices section for the due dates. Taxable Year and Accounting Methods The taxable year and method of accounting must be the same for Florida income tax as it is for federal income tax. If you change your taxable year or your method of accounting for federal income tax, you must also change the taxable year or method of accounting for Florida income tax. Rounding Off to Whole-Dollar Amounts Whole-dollar amounts may be entered on the return. To round off dollar amounts, drop amounts less than 50 cents to the next lowest dollar and increase amounts from 50 cents to 99 cents to the next highest dollar. If you use this method on the federal return, you must use it on the Florida return. Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) If you do not have an FEIN, obtain one from the IRS. You can: • Apply online at irs.gov • Apply by mail with IRS form SS-4. To obtain this form, download or order it from irs.gov or call 800-829-3676. To Amend a Return You must complete Florida Form F-1120X to amend your Florida corporate income tax return if: • You file an amended Federal return, • A redetermination of federal income is made (for example, through an audit adjustment), and • F-1120A R. 01/24 Page 3 of 4 The adjustments would affect net income subject to the Florida corporate income/franchise tax. Go to our website for Florida Form F-1120X with instructions. Who Must Make Estimated Tax Payments? If you expect the amount of income tax liability for the year to be more than $2,500, you must make a declaration of estimated tax for the taxable year using Florida Form F-1120ES. Payments may not be annualized. If the corporation's expected tax liability is more than $2,500, you must file Florida Form F-1120. To obtain Florida Form F-1120ES, see “Contact Us” on Page 4. Line-by-Line Instructions Line 1. Federal Taxable Income – Generally, corporations should enter the amount shown on Page 1, Line 30 of the federal Form 1120 or the corresponding line (taxable income) of the federal income tax return filed.

S corporations should enter only the income subject to federal income tax at the corporate level and those S corporations answering no to Question D do not have to file a return unless requesting a refund. Line 2. Net Operating Loss Deduction (NOLD) and State Income Taxes Deducted in Computing Federal Taxable Income – Enter the sum of: (A) Any net operating loss deduction shown on Line 29(a) of the federal Form 1120 or on the matching line of other federal income tax forms, and (B) Any tax on, or measured by, income paid or accrued as a liability to any U.S. state or the District of Columbia that is deducted from gross income in computing federal income for the taxable year.

For Florida corporate income tax, a net operating loss can never be carried back as a deduction to a prior taxable year. A net operating loss can only be carried over to later taxable years and treated in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same time periods prescribed in section 172, IRC. When claiming your Florida NOLD, the following limitations also apply: • Florida NOLs generated in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, are carried forward up to 20 taxable years. • Florida NOLs generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, are carried forward indefinitely until used and never expire. • For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2021, a Florida NOL deduction may be taken against 100% of Florida tentative apportioned adjusted federal income. • For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, a Florida NOL deduction may be taken as follows: o First, any carryover(s) generated in a taxable year beginning  before January 1, 2018, is applied against 100% of Florida tentative apportioned adjusted federal income;  o Then, any carryover(s) generated in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, is applied against 80% of the remaining Florida tentative adjusted federal income. Line 4. Florida Exemption – Section 220.14, F.S., exempts up to $50,000 of net income. The exemption is the lesser of $50,000 or the Florida portion of adjusted federal income. If the taxable year is less than 12 months, you must prorate the $50,000 exemption. Multiply $50,000 by the number of days in the short tax year divided by 365. Only one $50,000 exemption is allowed to the members of a controlled group of corporations as defined in section 1563, IRC. If members of a controlled group file separate Florida returns the $50,000 exemption will be divided equally among all filing members unless all members F-1120A R. 01/24 Page 4 of 4 consent to an apportionment plan for an unequal allocation of the Florida exemption. $300 or 10% of the tax finally determined to be due, not to exceed $10,000.

Line 8. Penalty and Interest – If penalties or interest apply, enter the total amount on this line. Penalties Late-Filed Return – The penalty for a late-filed return is 10% each month, or portion of a month, not to exceed 50% of the tax due with the return. If no tax is due and a return is filed late, the penalty is $50 each month or portion of a month, not to exceed $300. Underpayment of Tentative Tax – The penalty for underpayment of tentative tax is 12% per year during the extension period on the underpaid amount. You must calculate the penalty from the original due date of the return. Electronic Filing – The penalty is 5% of the tax due for each month the return is not filed electronically. The penalty cannot exceed $250 in total. If no tax is due, the penalty is $10. Interest – A floating rate of interest applies to underpayments, late payments, and overpayments of corporate income tax.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
