What Is a 1099 Tax in Florida?
When you receive a 1099-NEC form as an independent contractor in Florida, you are responsible for paying your own taxes — no employer withholds them for you. Your 1099 tax bill has three parts:
- Self-Employment Tax (15.3%): Covers Social Security (12.4%) and Medicare (2.9%). You pay both the employee and employer share.
- Federal Income Tax: Based on your taxable income after deducting half of SE tax and the standard deduction ($15,700 in 2026).
- Florida State Tax: $0 — Florida does not tax personal income, saving contractors thousands per year.
